Abstract
The leisure constraints and experiences of African women in the Netherlands were investigated using a qualitative study design. A sample size of 14 African women from two churches in the Netherlands was used for the study. These women provided information about their participation in leisure activities and constraints to their involvement in leisure. A convenience sampling design was used to sample the respondents. A semi-structured in-depth interviews guide was used to collect data from the respondents. The study revealed that income, jobless, illness, language barrier, time, and inadequate planning are major factors hindering African women from experiencing their leisure activities, and hence cannot fully enjoy their leisure. It was recommended that African Women needs to apportion some parts of their savings to maintain their leisure activities and finance the leisure cost, this will help them to enjoy the benefits of leisure activities.

Key words: Leisure constraints, leisure experience, inadequate planning, language barrier, African women
