    Our visit to Kuza Cave was nothing short of amazing! From the refreshing first swim in the crystal-clear cave waters to the rhythmic beats during the drum and band session, every moment was special. But the highlight was undoubtedly the cooking class with Master Chef Chillo and his sister. They taught us how to prepare a traditional Swahili meal, and we all learned so much. The food was absolutely delicious, and we had a great time cooking together. We ended the day relaxing to the music, fully embracing the "Hakuna Matata" spirit. Thank you for this unforgettable experience!

    What a beautiful cave! I had a swim and it was a surreal experience. I then did a traditional swahilli cooking class. The boss did not make the chef aware I was coming or that I do not eat meat when I booked but the locals/ staff sorted everything out and were very accomdating and made it such a great experience. The chef was fantastic, very patient, and interactive throughout, and we cooked a fantastic vegetarian dish together. Then I decided to do a drumming lesson while I was there which was really fun too! I learned a lot and had a great day with such lovely people. I would definitely recommend it to all but it might be best booking it when you get there on the day rather than via trip advisor to avoid lack of communication with their boss.

    Love setting but quite steep to get into caves once in 2 members of our group got stung by wasps whilst swimming. You can change out of your wet swimmers whoever no locks on doors so need someone outside to hold door closed.

    Most beautiful caves we have seen. We however had to ask to be shoen the other attractions as the guide was attending to four groups. The tea garden was disappointing. But once again - the caves were stunning and swimming there was some experience. We did not partake in the vooking as my wife was not well
