Tastings At AKV

[heynowirv]

I was just reading a blog from 2009 where the restaurants (all 3) were giving interesting samplings of their foods.Apparently you meet at Boma 4PM and then they take you to all 3 restaurants.Soups,breads to name a couple of dishes. Does anyone know if they are still offering this?

It sounds like the beginning of Wanyama Safari. You meet at Jiko about 4, have appetizers and a beverage, then go on the AKL/AKV safari. Return to dine at Jiko.

It's not a safari as I've read it in the DFB from 2009. It sounds like it was a free tour at AKL

I think they still do something like that at Jiko. If I run across our activities info from our May stay I'll take a look but I'm not certain where that is. The resorts board for AKL probably has some info or someone would know.

I wonder if you're thinking of the Culinary Tour of Boma and Jiko, 2 restaurants not 3. There is one of just Sanaa, that's listed as Cultural, but when I went there was food! I've gone on the first tour twice, and it's still on the September activities list at 3:45. Once we got some Butternut Squash soup, once a zebra dome at Boma. Then we went to Jiko, had a bread service appetizer at the bar, while a chef talked about the spices. At the tour over at Sanaa, there was a bread service at the end, thoroughly explained by the head chef.

Do you have a link to it?

we just went 2 weeks ago
Culinary Tour at Boma/Jiko
meet at the Boma platform at 3:45
Lots of cool info on the restaurants, and a bowl of soup, a zebra dome, and a bread app at Jiko
I thoroughly enjoyed it and will be taking my SIL on our family trip in November
