On Arrivial you meet the artisans and learn a little of the History of Imigongo Art. Then its time to start making your own buy building the foundation from a mixture of mud and cow dung!

At noontime, you’ll share a simple local meal with your artisan teacher, with plenty of time to chat and learn about each other’s lives. After lunch, it is back to your own work of art with sanding and painting.  You will love being with the artisan, and we can assure you whilst you work together you will also be laughing together.
