After three decades of treating both local and international guests with Dawa, pioneer Carnivore Restaurant mixologist Sam Kivelenge aka Dr Dawa got laid to rest at his Kitui home in a ceremony attended by family members and friends. The Saturday, August 1, ceremony marked an end of an era to an icon, the man behind the world-famous Kenyan cocktail Dawa, which was invented at the Tamarind Group’s The Carnivore restaurant in the 80s.

Dawa, Kiswahili word for medicine, can pass as the most popular cocktail in Kenya and a common drink for tourists, most of whom would visit The Carnivore to have it.
