Is there are more spectacular place to dine than cosied up in front of a fire, on the edge of the Crater?
Our gourmet restaurant showcases locally inspired dishes, crafted from the finest seasonal ingredients, sourced from local markets and sustainable suppliers. We pair these with fine wines for an unforgettable dining experience.
The culinary talents of our chefs are put through their paces. They serve up a diverse menu that allows you to sample locally-inspired traditional Tanzanian dishes as well as international cuisine, with an emphasis on seasonal ingredients and creative presentation.
Beautifully curated culinary experiences
There are two dining areas at the lodge, depending on the temperature. The restaurant inside is cosy, boasting a roaring fire for colder African nights, while the outdoor dining enjoys an open-air fire, which makes for the perfect place to gather under star-soaked night skies. Both sport uninterrupted views that drop dramatically down into the Crater.
Lounge & Unwind
There is also a neighbouring bar and lounge area and a snug little library. We highly recommend that you try a local speciality cocktail in the form of a dawa. The word ‘ dawa’ translated from the local language, Swahili, as medicine and it is a deliciously refreshing alcoholic drink of white spirits poured over honey or brown sugar, lime and mint, freshy picked from the lodge’s garden.
