There’s nothing quite like dining in the wild after finishing an incredible game drive in the private Klaserie Nature Reserve. Every now and then, when the weather allows it (summer thunderstorms are regular!) our teams from both Africa on Foot and nThambo Tree Camp head out to a clearing in the bushveld and arrange a scenic dinner setting under the open skies. The “bush braai” is a highlight for those who get to experience it: toasting to the safari life and chowing down on grilled meat, salads, and fragrant garlic bread. Here is a look at the ‘behind the scenes’ process involved with organising this outdoor feast.
Camp managers, Jen and Nadia, accompanied by our filming team, willing student-guides, and the multi-talented cooks from both camps, take all the equipment needed to seat and feed all guests and guides and beautifully decorate a selected spot in the bush. Guests arrive at the end of their game drive, are offered the drink of their choice and invited to sit around a lantern-lit table under the darkening skies to enjoy a traditionally prepared meal out in the wild!
