Excellent hands on cooking experience!

Amazing experience! Renee did a great job of explaining all the different ingredients and dishes we made. Everything was very well organized and clean. This is a hands on cooking experience and one I will remember. One of the highlights of my Namibia journey. Thank you!

Local food in local setting.

Wonderful experience at Iyaloo's Delicacy. Local food in a local setting. The instructor, Iyaloo, was a fantastic host and cook. 10/10 recommend.

A delicious adventure

We had a great time with Iyaloo! The occasion offers a unique opportunity to gain insight into African cuisine. Anyone who is open-minded and not afraid of dishes that may be unfamiliar will be rewarded with a very delicious meal. Cooking together with Iyaloo is one of the highlights of our trip to Namibia!

A unique experience

Don't miss this opportunity to cook and eat Namibia cuisine. Relaxed atmosphere, good food and gracious host. Don't be afraid to ask for some background music.

Love, love, loved it!

This experience was magical. It was far better than I expected. The space was clean and safe. The food was delicious which was a surprise as it included things I had never tried before. Our host was a delight. She was generous with her knowledge and introduced us to some locals who joined us and gave a short local language lesson with plenty of laughter. Would highly recommend.

Go Local!

The experience was truly a local gem. Miriam, our hostess, was a delight. Very warm and welcoming. She can sing, too! Food was very good-especially considering we ate items I had never had before! Our driver went out of his way to help make this experience a 5 star

Great Experience

She was very welcoming and a relaxed environment. Explained the dishes and sourcing for the food clearly. Made me comfortable to experience a new cultural experience for me. Delicious food, too, that I would never try in my country.

A must have experience.

Great experience, Iyaloos is a very especial host and having the possibility of tasting local dishes cooked in a traditional way and with the guydance of a professional was a very nice memory for life, thank Iyaloos!

Authentic experience on...

Authentic experience on the outskirts of the township. Despite request in advance as well as description online, a vegetarian option (so not chicken, fish or worms) was not really provided. We've learned about traditional dishes. Recooking is not possible because there was no recipe to take away and the instructor had prepared a lot and had also taken over a lot in the course or had not explained in detail. She was friendly, however, she has treated us in part very down from above. Drinks on site were cheap, but the free water was limited to one small bottle per person. Pick-up worked without any problems, but the journey took around 45 minutes on the way out, during which we did not know if we really arrived at our destination. Overall an exciting experience, but I wouldn't repeat it
