Visit Mwenge craft Market, the famous Tingatinga and Wonder Workshop

Full day excursion
All transfers included!

After a delicious breakfast, depart for Dar City at around 9 am. First of all, we visit the export quality Mwenge Arts and Craft market where you can watch carvers at work, and purchase anything from wood carvings, traditional cloth and jewelry, paintings, weaved baskets and accessories to name but a few.
We then proceed to the Wonder Workshop a definite high-light of the day, an organization where disabled members of the community are given the opportunity to create art works from waste products such as used soda cans, paper, car parts, glass bottles, etc. Buying their artwork is a win-win situation; you support a good cause while they provide you with a truly unique form of art, nowhere else to be found in Dar es Salaam.
Last, but not least, we visit the famous Tingatinga Centre, one of the best places to buy these paintings, or just watch the artists at work.
After a hard day of shopping you definitely deserve a refreshing cocktail, on the way back to South Beach, a quick detour via Karimbezi restaurant will be made, just what the “traffic” needs to calm.
Arrive back at the lodge around 7pm where dinner can be ordered from the A-la-Carte menu.
