Lunches generally consist of an assortment of filling sandwiches that vary each day. These sandwiches consist of either chicken, tuna, beef, or cheese, and come with delightful snacks such as biscuits and chocolates to cleanse that sweet tooth. A special lunch of hot chicken and chips with a traditional Tanzanian onion and tomato kachumbari are often served on one of the last days to warm up the body. Varieties of hot, chunky and delicious soups will also be on the menu. Lunch on summit day calls for a celebration with cakes, traditional sultana, and pancakes.
