Arrived and had a swim in the cave.. We believe we been bit by some little creatures in the water though ..but cannot confirm . Water is crystal clear , you cant even see where the surface starts :) You can also buy a coconut or bottle of beer. It was not busy at all
Fine and beautiful cooling in the cave. I'm glad we made this trip. With an hour you have enough to admire the cave.
The caves are beautiful. The riads leading to the cave Centre are very bumpy. The bathroom facilities at the place are very basic.
The Cave and music experience was nice, but I was also looking forward to the cooking class which was not offered. I travelled 1 1/2 hours from Stone Town for this very short excursion. I would only recommend this if a cooking class was included in the future or if you were staying close by.
Liza cave and class cooking they are very good experience. It is a time to relax and learn a lot about the culture. I can you recommend this experience.
Swimming in the Cave was amazing. The cooking lesson was very inspiring & drum bear lessons were also quite cool
The instructions to be inside are very bad for the cave and are very small, the place is not that you are too careful

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.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so glad to hear that you had such a memorable and surreal experience swimming in Kuza Cave and participating in the Swahili cooking class and drumming lesson. We appreciate your feedback regarding the booking process and will work on improving communication to ensure smoother arrangements. It’s great to know that you enjoyed your day with us, and we hope to welcome you back soon for more exciting experiences!
