This is the most exciting activity amongst our visitors. It is done every day in the morning and evening hours. We take our visitors through step by step milking process for the prestigious ankole ankole. Our visitors get a chance to learn techniques of hand milking with the traditional milking equipment called Ebyanzi- Miking churns.

Spending a day with ankole cattle relieves stress. Our clients are given a chance to spend a day on the farm grazing the ankole cattle. It involves going after the cows while they feed and giving them water (okweshera).This can go up to when the cows return to the kraal in the evening. One gets a chance to engage in all day farm activities as cows are herding.

Every Tuesday and Saturday, our clients are able to experience and learn how our ancestors used to control external parasites (okwozya ente), internal parassites deworming (okugaburira) using the traditional medicine and techniques.

This is a practice of making ghee. Traditional, this activity is reserved for women and girls.  Our clients get introduced to this process. They have a chance to participate and learn to make ghee. Our guests are taken through a couple of other activities such as smoking milk pots (okwitira) for serving milk, making fire for cows (okuhembera) and many more.

Agriculture is now  a major subject at schools, institutions, Universities etc. At our farms, we have well trained staff offers educative sessions to students, researchers and other farmers on care, management and breeding of the Ankole long horn cattle. We also offer short courses in cattle breeding and dairy business.

Many of visitors from urban areas always have different imaginations of how the night goes at the cattle farm. Well, the night experience/ night life at the farm is composed of recitations (ebyevugo), games and songs of the Ankole tradition over a camp fire. These steer up the entire experience as one stays at the farm. The ebyevugo could probably be the origin of hip hop & rap music.
