Here's the menu for Carnivore. We were definitely carnivores - the ostrich and crocodile were delicious! We also enjoyed heaping servings of lamb and the most delicious melt-in-your-mouth turkey I've ever had. I stayed away from Chicken Gizzards and Livers, as I had enough organ meat at Eid el Kibir!
Meats were all cooked in this open kitchen format - on spits. I especially enjoyed the zebra print on the chefs' hats.
To serve the meat, waiters came around with chunks on swords and sliced off pieces. We had a little white flag on the table to put down when we surrendered. You know you've had a lot of meat when people start asking if you meant to put your flag down. We lasted a lot longer than they thought we would!
The meat was phenomenal, but Pat still decided to have a bit of bread and butter as a part of his meal.
Carnivore used to serve a great variety of game meat (zebra, wildebeest, etc.), but with new anti-poaching laws in effect, there are too many regulations for them to serve these meats. The Kenyan government doesn't want a market created for game meat, so just ostrich and crocodile now. After eating all these awesome meats, we went off to see ostriches and crocs alive. :)

looks like traditional markovich chaos, glad you had just as good of luck as we did in kruger!

I'm impressed that they offered a vegetarian option, although I don't know why you would go there to eat meatless.
silly
This is the restaurant you should take me to when you finally get around to proposing to me.
Fun times! I have also been to the carnivore, and apparently before they had to stop serving all the wild game as I remember Zebra being pretty good, but loved the hertebeest!
