Premium Droëworse Made in Kenya
Heritage, quality and convenience in every bite
What is Tanda?
For generations, communities across Africa preserved meat through careful drying, creating a nutritious, flavourful food that could be enjoyed long after it was prepared. This tradition not only helped extend shelf life but also celebrated the value of quality ingredients, resourcefulness and craftsmanship.
At Tanda, we honour this heritage by combining traditional drying techniques with modern food safety standards and production practices. The result is a premium droëworse that delivers authentic flavour, exceptional quality and everyday convenience.
Made from carefully selected meat, natural fat and a balanced blend of spices, Tanda brings together the best of tradition and modern innovation in every bite.
Our Heritage
Across Kenya, preserved meat has been known by many names in different communities, such as sirikan among the Maasai, rukuri/nyama g'utaada among the Kikuyu, aliya/athola among the Luo and sirigenik among the Kalenjin. While the names and methods varied from community to community, they shared a common purpose: preserving quality meat and creating food that could be enjoyed long after it was prepared.

These traditions were more than a way of preserving food. They reflected resourcefulness, craftsmanship and an appreciation for quality preservation. They sustained families, accompanied travellers and became part of the cultures and communities that shaped Kenya.
Droëwors is inspired by this heritage and Tanda is the pinnacle of droëworse. We have taken one of Africa's oldest food traditions and reimagined it for the modern lifestyle. Combining the timeless practices of drying meat with modern food safety standards and production techniques, we are bringing together heritage, quality and convenience in a way that honours the past while serving the needs of today's consumers.
