JW Marriot Masai Mara Lodge has partnered with Kosher Certified South Africa to introduce kosher cuisine to its menu.
Rabbi Avigdor Bokow and his team, Velvy Bokow and Aharon Bogatie, have provided guidance and introduced a pool of Mashgichim (supervisors who ensure that food is produced according to the kosher requirements) for kosher clients.
“Our special kosher kitchen stands as a testament to our dedication to cater for the unique preferences and dietary requirements of our esteemed kosher guests. Rooted in rich traditions and meticulous attention to detail, our kosher offerings seamlessly integrate with our lodge's renowned commitment to rejuvenating your mind, body and soul,” the lodge said in a press release.
The kosher kitchen was sourced from Tomer Gerichter and Rafael Hazan who are both Jewish Israelis and own a Kenyan company, Container Design Africa Ltd.
They designed, manufactured, transported and installed the 40ft container kosher kitchen which is the first of its kind in East Africa.
