The food at Manda embraces all the rich flavours not only of the sea but also the culture of both Swahili and European tastes. All the sea food is delivered fresh to the door by local fishermen and by our own fishing boats. Guests are able to sample their own catch. Fresh fruit, salads and vegetables are either grown at the lodge or flown in by air. We cater for vegetarians, children and special diets with prior notice.

Breakfast is a casual affair and guests appear in their own time. We serve a buffet of fresh fruit, home made cereals, yoghurt, breakfast bread and full English breakfast.

Lunch is normally a light meal with a variety of dishes served buffet style either in the dining room, by the pool or on Utamaduni, our 60 foot sailing jahazi.

Dinner is a three course set menu served under candlelight either in the dining room but more often outside under the stars.
