Most lodges and camps grow organic fruits and vegetables and love cooking and sharing exciting local cuisine with their guests, so you can expect to be genuinely spoilt while in the wilderness.
We received regular feedback from our guests on how amazed they were that they ate a wide variety of exotic dishes in the middle of the African bush or had spectacular dining experiences.
Most safari lodges cater to dietary requirements, so you need not worry whether you have intolerances or allergies, are gluten-free, or follow a special diet! It is always advisable to let the camps or lodges know of any dietary requirements when booking, mainly if they are located in remote areas, so they can prepare for this beforehand.
From the time you start your day, you can expect biscuits, tea, and coffee to fuel you for an adrenalin
rushed early morning game drive before returning to your lodge for a delicious breakfast buffet, or you may pack your picnic breakfast on the go and have the once-in-a-lifetime experience in the bush.
Most lodges have buffet restaurants on-site so you can expect a lovely variety of dishes for lunch or dinner, complete with decadent desserts and fresh fruit, and there is bound to be something to suit everyone. Cuisines tend to be a mix of local, Western, and Asian.
