A Feast

For the Senses

The Ol Mesera Restaurant was designed and built-in Manyara for one reason: Celebrating Tanzanian hospitality. A feast for the senses, from the artwork, textiles, decor, friendly faces and the smell of the cooking fires burning.

 

Our Dishes are locally inspired dishes, created to celebrate the “Karibu culture” with a little bit of a modern twist. The two makes our dishes unique and stylish, giving you a whole new dining experience.

  • Ol Mesera is absolutely amazing! If you want delicious food, good service and amazing cocktails this is definitely a stop you need to make! The food is a great twist on traditional Tanzanian dishes. They have a tapas style menu, which lets you share and try different dishes with a group to ensure you don't miss out on anything. If you're travelling the northern safari circuit it's definitely a stop worth making!

  • I would rather dine at the Olmesera than carrying a lunch box, this place is amazing, and they also offer free activities before dining; such as the painting tour, ebony tour and tanzanite tour....the food here is also amazing, my go-to dish would be the Nyama Choma....it`s a mouth-watering dish!
