How to lay out a camp kitchen

  • Place the kitchen downwind of the tents, at least 10 metres away.
  • Put it under a gazebo or dining shelter for shade and rain cover.
  • Use one table for preparation and one for serving, and keep the cooler in the shade.
  • Set up a hand-washing station with soap next to the kitchen.
  • Hang a lantern over the cooking area for evening meals.
  • Breakfast: eggs, sausages, toast and tea or coffee from one big pot.
  • Lunch: wraps and salads prepared in the morning and kept in the cooler.
  • Dinner: nyama choma, ugali, kachumbari and a one-pot stew.

Safety tips

  • Never cook inside a tent.
  • Keep gas cylinders upright and away from heat.
  • Store food sealed. Monkeys and baboons raid unattended kitchens.
  • Have water or sand nearby to put out flames.
