A really great experience - from being taken to the market to purchase ingredients, to wearing traditional dress, to cooking in a Gambian family’s garden. The meal was beautiful, and you feel much more appreciative once you know the effort that goes into it! I was surprised that it does take the best part of a day, I left at 9:30am and returned at 4pm. I thank the family for opening their home to me. Highly recommend if you want to do something slightly different.

An unforgettable and wonderful experience. Sofi taught us how to prepare a delicious Gambian meal. From buying the ingredients at the large market (Sofi ensured our safety at all times), to participating in the step-by-step process of the recipe, and finally, savoring the exquisite food. Her family made us feel right at home. We shared happy moments wearing their beautiful dresses. Thank you, Black & White Tour, thank you, Sofi and driver. I hope to return someday.
