Durango welcomes a new culinary delight on wheels, as Chef Arnold Safari Ngumbao unveils his African fusion food truck, Chef Safari’s African Fusion. A familiar face in Durango's culinary scene, Chef Safari is renowned for his tenure at The Strater Hotel and his restaurant, Eat Zawadi. His culinary journey began at a tender age of 10, inspired by his father's illustrious career as a chef in Kenya. After honing his skills at Kenya Utalii College in Nairobi, Chef Safari embarked on a gastronomic adventure across Africa, gathering diverse recipes and mastering the art of African fusion cuisine.
Now stationed at Ted’s Rentals & Sales at 999 E College Dr., Chef Safari's food truck offers an array of mouth-watering dishes, from African Curry and Beetroot Hummus to Ethiopian spiced beef curry and Moroccan spiced lamb. Despite the challenges posed by city regulations and seasonal fluctuations, Chef Safari remains optimistic, believing in the warmth and allure of his spiced offerings. Open six days a week, Chef Safari’s African Fusion promises a delectable journey through Africa's rich culinary landscape.
