Itinerary and highlights

A nice tailor-made trip through Busara Tours to get to know and understand the life of the local Swahili woman.

Together with our female guide you walk through Stone Town and you get an explanation about a number of female issues. How is henna made and how is this applied? What are the preparations for the wedding day? Why and when do women wear a kanga here? What is the local food and how is this prepared? What is available on the local market?

​This trip is not only fun for women but also men will listen with great interest to all explanation and perhaps learn some important things …..
