Ever wonder what the food will be like on safari? Join us as we break down the daily menu during your stay at all our properties.
Fresh, Local Ingredients
At Mawe Lodges, we take pride in sourcing most of our ingredients locally. From spices and cooking oil to rice, coconut, flour, and vegetables, we ensure that the produce comes directly from local farmers and markets. This farm-to-table approach guarantees fresh, high-quality meals for our guests. We import select items such as olive oil, wine, and pasta for a touch of international flavor.
Typical Daily Menu
Breakfast:
Start your day with a buffet or à la carte breakfast featuring cereals, fresh seasonal juice and fruits, bread, pancakes, toast, coffee, tea, and an egg station where you can choose how you like your eggs prepared. And more…
Lunch:
Lunches can be enjoyed either on safari or at our camps and lodges. Here are the options:
- Traditional Lunch Boxes are perfect for on-the-go meals during safaris or airport travel. These easy-to-eat boxes contain a salad, a choice of meat or vegetarian options, fruit juice, and an apple.
- Hamper Lunch: Ideal for bush dining, this option includes a mix of wet and dry foods served with full cutlery. It’s a healthier and more sustainable alternative, reducing packaging waste. The hamper menu consists of a salad, main course, dessert, fruit, juice, and optional coffee or tea for an afternoon break.
- Hot Lunch: Enjoy a freshly prepared three-course hot meal from 12:30 to 14:00 when at the lodge during lunchtime. The hot lunch consists of a starter, main course, and dessert.
Dinner:
Dinner at Mawe Lodges is a four-course delight featuring soup, salad, main course, and dessert. Our diverse menu includes Indian, Tanzanian traditional, local, and European dishes, ensuring a unique dining experience every night.
Special Requests
We strive to cater to all dietary restrictions and preferences. Please let us know beforehand of any specific requirements so our chef can accommodate your needs. Given the remote locations of our properties, advance notice helps us provide the best possible dining experience.
Special Meal Settings
When weather and park regulations permit, we offer unique dining experiences, from bush weddings and dining under the stars to bush lunches. Feel free to contact us with any special requests.
Local Cuisine
Since the experience at the destination is highly associated with a local cuisine experience, we have dedicated a blog page specifically sharing our recipes for regional cuisine. Please visit our blog for more information about our cuisine.
