How to arrange meals
Tell us what you would like when you book, or message our team once you have checked in. Requests made the day before allow us to shop for fresh ingredients, which is the difference between a good breakfast and a rushed one. Meal charges are added to your bill and settled directly with Olive Homes.
Cooking for yourself
Every apartment is fully furnished with a private kitchen, cooker, fridge, cookware and utensils, so guests on longer stays often cook some meals and order others. Supermarkets and fresh produce markets are a short drive away in Njiro and central Arusha, and our team is happy to point you to the closest ones.
Meals around safari days
Early departures for Serengeti, Tarangire, Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro often start before a normal breakfast time. Let us know your pick up time and we can arrange an early breakfast or a packed option so you do not travel on an empty stomach.
Good to know
Meal supplements are charged separately from the room rate, and no refunds are issued for meals that are ordered but not consumed. Full details are set out in our booking policy.
