The Carnivore, Nairobi
The last time I was in Kenya (July 06) I was told the Carnivore
restaurant had been closed. I've been asked if it has re-opened, but all the info I can find on a quick web check is dated; even their own website is dated 2006. So: has it re-opened since then, and is it currently open during the unrest? Thanks Liz -- http://www.v-liz.com - Kenya; Tanzania; Namibia; India; Galapagos |

The Carnivore, Nairobi
Hi Liz/Pat
We were over there last summer, and the Carnivore was open (August time). However, they are no longer allowed to sell there exotic 'game', so it is beef, pork, lamb, ostrich, chicken only. I believe it was felt to send the wrong message to the tourists, and some of the tribes were (understandably) annoyed that they were not themselves allowed to kill the zebra, impala, crocodiles etc for meat. It was still a good atmosphere, but the novelty value isn't there, and I actually really liked the Impala! Whether it is still open 6 months on I don't know.

Hi Charles,
I`m sure Liz will reply but thanks for the info. My husband, Andy, reminded me the Carnivore was part of the Tamarind group, he found their site and also told me he recalled the exotic game was no longer available. Like you I liked the impala, which I`ve eaten there. Charles, my first African experience was when Andy got a job in the Niger Delta, Nigeria, one evening there was a BBQ and one of the men brought back a small gazelle, I don`t know how it died but it was delicious, so tender. Re the Carnivore, at one time there were antelope and Ostrich which were "farmed" under licence, David Hopcraft used to have a game ranch and was a main supplier I believe. I can understand the message being sent out but the bush meat trade, as we know, continues in some areas. Pat.

It was actually an enquiry I got due to me putting on my website that it was closed! Naively, I'd assumed that the game sold there was ranched!
