Learn first hand about the life of a Rasta, cook Ital food over a wood fire, experience Roots and Culture and the unique Patios language of Jamaica. Explore Jamaica with Mokko or his kids as your guide. Read a letter of welcome from Mokko. He has raised 6 children with Doret and you can meet the whole family at Riverside Cool Cottages.
In addition to running Riverside Cool Cottages, Mokko is also available as a guide to Jamaica. As such, he will keep you safe and teach you the Rasta ways. Read the story, Mokko Saves My Life. He is happy and fun to be with and very accepting of all people. He shows you places you could not find on your own and helps you meet people you would not otherwise meet. You will find yourself well connected in his company.
"Our experience with Mokko was great. Mokko is the ultimate Bush Doctor, and healed our colds while we were in Jamaica. From Mokko, we learned to find the real local stuff and nature which benefited the rest of our trip. We weren't afraid to take the route taxi or bus. We keep in touch with Mokko and will certainly see him again on our next trip."
With Dread Talk, Velma Pollard has done a remarkable job of both describing the language of Rastafarians, highlighting its growth from and influence upon Standard Jamaican English and Jamaican Patois, and explaining the cultural and philosophical rationale behind the language.
