Begin your journey with a private road trip ride from Nairobi to Nakuru, winding through leafy towns until you reach Monrovia Guest House—a highly rated B&B with superb hospitality, lush gardens, and peaceful ambience After settling into your comfortable private room, head with your host to a vibrant local market, selecting fresh regional produce and spices. Back at the B&B’s cozy kitchen, dive into your first hands-on cooking class—perhaps preparing traditional Kenyan breakfast or lunch dishes, blending techniques like simmering stews or baking flatbreads. Enjoy the meal you create in the garden, sharing flavors and stories as dusk falls over Nakuru’s tranquil setting.
Rise early for another outing to the town’s bustling market or smallholder farm stand, where under your host’s guidance you’ll choose the freshest vegetables, grains, and herbs typical of the Rift Valley region. Return to Monrovia to begin your second cooking workshop—this time exploring dishes like nyama choma marinade, local vegetable stews, or sweet delicacies such as mandazi or Kenyan doughnuts. The experience is rich with cultural storytelling about Nakuru’s food heritage as you cook and dine communally. The afternoon invites relaxation—perhaps reading in the shaded garden or exploring nearby attractions like Hyrax Hill museum or the Menengai Crater for a cultural stroll.
On your final morning, enjoy a light picnic at the guest house garden or a nearby scenic spot—Monrovia provides packed pastries, fresh fruit, and tea to go. Then, return for a final, interactive cooking lesson: think hearty mukimo, millet porridge, or sweet potato dishes infused with local honey. Sit down together for a farewell feast among the garden’s greenery, reminiscing on flavors learned and stories shared. In the early afternoon, board your private van for a relaxed return journey to Nairobi, hearts and bellies full, carrying the warmth of Nakuru’s cuisine, culture, and hospitality with you.
