A Sky Safari Culinary Journey

7/30/2023

 

Whether travelling on in Kenya or Tanzania, guests travelling on SkySafari can expect a voyage of discovery through the food and beverage served at the all properties on their itinerary. Much emphasis has been placed on sourcing local ingredients with a play on traditional recipes.

 

 

 

 

The properties collaborate with regenerative farming practices, such as the Farmer Max chickens and Highland Pork Farmers. By supporting local agriculture,  they are not only sourcing high-quality meat but also promoting sustainable farming practices in the community.

 

 

 

 Nearly all the properties on the SkySafari circuit have their own shamba (kitchen garden) where fresh produce is grown. This not only provides flavorful ingredients, but also allows guests to learn about the environmentally conscious farming practices that are used.

 

At Serengeti Pioneer Camp guests wake up to a "sunrise on the rock" breakfast, offering African dishes such as Chipsi Mayai, a traditional Tanzanian street food eaten countrywide and Swahili coconut beans. See our Recipe of the Quarter.

 

 

 

 

At the Arusha Coffee Lodge, a new fine dining African-inspired tasting menu was introduced last year with a selection of elegantly plated small dishes incorporating uniquely Tanzanian ingredients.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Loisaba Tented Camp has its own take on utilizing a local invasive cactus with vividly pink prickly pear cocktails and ice cream regularly featuring in the menu.

Earlier this year, the Manor at Ngorongoro introduced a new farm-to-table dinning concept. Starting with fresh farm eggs and sourdough breads and culminating in a fine dining experience featuring five small courses, each highlighting the vegetables grown on the property from zingy fresh heirloom tomatoes to earthy sweet root vegetables.
