MWABONWA NO BEENZU KU KU SHUNGU NAMUTITIMA!
(Welcome to Zambia, home of the smoke that thunders), the mighty Victoria Falls, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World!
I’m Sophia, co-founder & proprietor of MWABONWA Cultural Experiences. For over 15 years, I thrived in the Zambia’s hospitality industry serving & arranging activities for our international guests along our tourist corridor, which includes the falls and beyond.
The falls are very significant to Zambia, but there is something much more amazing that falls deeper & and is mightier than thunder! Would you like to experience Zambia, beyond the roar of the mighty Victoria Falls, beyond the tourist corridor? If so be our guest to create a memorable experience!
MWABONWA offers the only way to authentically experience Zambia, through my people & rich culture. We take you beyond the tourist attractions and invite you to be our guest in our providences & homes, where you can experience our Zambian life style as a local.

5.00This was an amazing experience that I would recommend to anyone. The hospitality and After a short walk from town, we were welcomed into Sophia and her family's beautiful home where we were greeted with local drinks and introductions. We were immediately made to feel at home. After we had finished our drinks, we were taken of a tour of the house and given some background of what Mwabonwa Experiences meant, how it was started and how it was supporting the local community. We then sat down to eat the most delicious meal- nshima, pumpkin leaves with groundnuts, stewed beef and beans- and were shown how to eat correctly. We spent time swapping stories and learning about how local life really is in the town. We were also able to rearrange the date to fit our schedule by contacting Sophia and explaining. The most memorable part of my trip by far!
Great value for money, great experience

4.00Firstly, we mistook the date for another and the woman who organises was kind enough to reschedule the day after. Her and a daughter of hers picked us up from town, and walked to her village while learnt many things about her life, culture etc. In her house, live 12 people, she made us visit, wash our hands, meet everyone. The drinks and food where the best meal we ate all week. Better than our hotel, or than what we ate at Limpos or Cafe Zambezi. Really good food, good atmosphere, you eat with your hands, sitting on the floor. Great stuff.
