Taste of African Cuisine
Many of our safari goers are after an authentic, African experience. This includes spotting Africa’s Big Five, meeting the locals, and of course, enjoying traditional African cuisine – full of goodness and flavour.

Africa’s Little Five: The True Heroes of the Bush
For most visitors to Africa, their ‘must see’ list is comprised of the celebrated and, suffice to say, famous Big Five: Lion, Leopard, Buffalo, Elephant and Rhino.
