Allow yourself to be surprised by what a simple village kitchen can produce — a tree house on the shores of Lake Bunyonyi is awaiting you! Built and developed by generations of international volunteers, Edirisa’s cuisine goes far beyond traditional dishes. To be taken there and back in a (big and stable) dugout canoe is an unforgettable extra!

Highlights

• get picked up from your hotel by a knowledgeable guide in a traditional dugout canoe
• discover the intriguing world of Edirisa
• see how the lake’s famous crayfish are caught and prepared
• enjoy a sumptuous buffet meal in a treehouse (you can even help make it, if you fancy learning how to cook local dishes)
