Learn about palm-wine harvesting

Collecting palm sap takes skill and involves risks, especially when climbing. If a producer welcomes visitors, observe from a safe place and ask before taking photos. A demonstration, tasting or participation is not guaranteed.

Things to see and do

  • Speak with a producer who welcomes visitors.
  • Observe tools and preparation from a safe place.
  • Ask about local uses of palm sap.
