Itinerary
First, you'll visit The Small Things and learn about their work supporting orphaned and vulnerable children and families in the community. Then we'll go together to Tengeru, where you will learn from traditional potters how to prepare the clay, turn it on a foot-powered wheel, and fire it in a traditional kiln to take home with you. Throughout the day, your experienced local guide will also teach you about the culture and history of the local Meru tribe.

Outstanding!! The guy who does the pottery class is a true artist who knows everything about clay and does a great job teaching and sharing. The ambiance is wonderful. The funds benefit a children’s home nearby which is run by wonderful kind people.

I loved this tour and the people I met along the day. It was fun, I felt welcomed all the time. This gives a very close and honest insight into village life and the wonderful tradition of pottery production. I could have stayed for days. The link between tourism and community help is very well done here - with respect for everyone's perspective and wishes.

A wonderful way to spend an afternoon and get a taste of life in Arusha. My family of five each learned how to throw a clay pot. My daughter even got to milk a cow! Reuben is an amazing guide.
