Having dinner at the Carnivore Restaurant

The Carnivore is not just a restaurant – it is an experience. Travelers from the world over flock to this outstanding venue for what is hailed as the ultimate “Beast of a Feast”. Barbecue lovers will savor the unique tastes on offer, from traditional lamb, pork, beef, and chicken to the more uncommon ostrich and crocodile. The prime meat is ceremoniously roasted to perfection on Maasai swords hung over a huge charcoal pit and carvers then move from table to table delivering unlimited amounts onto cast iron plates. Add to this some delicious soup, fresh bread, mouth-watering side dishes, exotic sauces, and a selection of irresistible desserts. Diners will not go hungry — this is a feast that does not stop until a white surrender flag at the center of the table is lowered.

Combining the atmosphere of a rustic rural setting and a medieval banquet hall, this is arguably the most famous nyama choma (barbecued meat) in Kenya. Besides the hearty fare, a must-try is the house cocktail, 'dawa' (magic potion in Swahili), which serves to hydrate, refresh and sharpen your palate for every delicious bite. Since 1980, when the restaurant opened its doors over two million international guests have shared in what is known as "the ultimate Beast of a Feast".

The restaurant is famously known for all kinds of meat, but it also has a place for vegetarians. Vegetarians are well catered for and in an all-eat-as-much-as-you-can setting. Getting there
