A release  from the GTA said that this 3-day, 2-night adventure presents an immersive cultural journey featuring a day at Taiwu Falls, which includes swimming, hiking, and fishing. Participants will then delve into a pottery session, guided by locals, to grasp the craft’s rich history and master the art of pottery-making.

The release said that the experience continues with early morning anteater spotting in the vast Savannah, followed by a visit to a nearby ranch for activities including horseback riding and cow milking. Archery and cotton spinning demonstrations are also included. The package then leads visitors to the Toka Primary School for connections with both locals and pupils.
