We will not teach our views, norms & values, but as our guest you will get to know, experience and live the Swahili way of life. And you will see what an indescribable extension of experience this can give you.
The activities, presentations and displays offered for this purpose will take place in different locations: mainly right where the work or craft is done on a daily basis, or in the immediate vicinity of the „Garden of Komba“ campsite where guests will live during their stay.
