Fire. Coast. Celebration.
The Tamarind story
For more than five decades, Tamarind has shaped some of Kenya’s most recognisable hospitality experiences.
Each destination has its own rhythm, but the standard remains the same: warmth, generosity and a deep sense of place.
The ritual
At Carnivore, service is not hidden behind a kitchen door. It arrives at your table—carved, presented and shared in full view.
The Carnivore tradition
A legendary feast built around whole roasts, generous service and the anticipation of the next carving.
