The premium safari experience has become synonymous with exceptional cuisine.
African cuisine is incredibly diverse and rich in flavour and is the perfect way to elevate your safari experience. There is nothing like eating local cuisine to truly immerse yourself in the local culture. In fact, a trip to Africa is the perfect opportunity to simultaneously have an adventure, a culinary experience and a cultural getaway.
Not all of us are blessed with the greatest cooking skills (and there’s nothing wrong with beans on toast), but if you’re lucky enough to have the foodie gene, here are our top five safari lodges offering an incredible dining experience:

1. Angama Mara, Kenya
Located in the spectacular Maasai Mara, Angama Mara believes that excellent food is a core element to an excellent safari experience. The food is inspired by the early days of safari cooking and focuses on freshly made, perfectly cooked dishes. The food is simply, yet beautifully, presented and celebrates local Kenyan ingredients. Angama Mara’s culinary philosophy is simple: food should be delicious, unfussy, joyful and generous. The dining experience ranges from breakfast on the tent deck to picnics on the Mara plains and family-style BBQs in a lantern-lit forest.
