At Toka Leya, the Zambezi hums softly as chefs plate dinner on a candlelit deck. Later, drums and storytelling circle the boma at Savuti Camp. Seasonal feasts follow the herds with Olakira Migration Camp, while on Zanzibar’s sands at Kilindi, a private table glows as waves fold into the night.

Experiences & Highlights

Alfresco dining turns the bush into a private restaurant with the sky as your ceiling and wildlife for company. In the Serengeti, dinners with Serengeti Under Canvas and lunches from Olakira Migration Camp set simple linen, glowing lanterns and attentive service among sweeping plains. At Klein’s Camp on the Kuka Hills, sunrise breakfasts overlook valleys where giraffe and zebra move through morning light. In Botswana, a boat ride from Vumbura Plains or an island setting near Jao sets the scene for relaxed lunches between activities.

At Toka Leya on the Zambezi, riverside decks pair fresh, local dishes with the soft sound of flowing water, while in Hwange, Somalisa Camp arranges starlit dinners near a busy waterhole where elephants often arrive quietly. In South Africa, Lion Sands River Lodge surprises with sandbar breakfasts and private deck dinners, and Simbavati Waterside can arrange a picnic on the dam wall after a gentle morning out. Whether a family style feast or a romantic table for two, your team handles every detail so you can enjoy fresh flavours, conversation and the setting.
