Much of what we eat comes straight from our land: fresh vegetables, fruits, herbs, and greens harvested just steps from your room. What we can’t grow ourselves, we source from nearby markets, supporting local farmers and bringing you the freshest seasonal ingredients East Africa has to offer.
Tanzanian food draws on local ingredients and flavors influenced by Indian and Arabic cooking: fragrant spices, slow-cooked stews, coconut curries, and plenty of rice. Our menu is flexible, so you can enjoy traditional Tanzanian dishes, meals inspired by local flavours, or a more European-style menu (whatever suits your taste). But we always encourage a little adventure on your plate – some of the local specialties are worth trying!
Meals are made to share around our big family-style table in the main retreat house. Whether you’re vegan, dreaming of grilled feasts by the fire, or just in it for the marshmallows, our private chef Diana has you covered. She’s cooked alongside our founder Dave for years and can create whatever menu you’d like. Simple, special, or somewhere in between.
All your food is included with your stay – three hearty meals a day and homemade snacks whenever you get peckish. We also include freshly squeezed juices, teas, coffee and unlimited drinking water, purified on site to help eliminate the use of disposable plastics.
We have the option of a bar available for guests to buy a selection of beers, wines and spirits – including some excellent local wines now coming out of the Dodoma Region of Tanzania.
One unforgettable moment was when the village mama came to cook chapati for all the builders. Everyone side by side, sharing stories, laughter and recipes from their own mothers back home. It was food that nourished body and soul, rooted in nature, connection, and the joy of sharing something truly good. Magical.
