We LOVED the opportunity to try all the wonderful game! Ostrich, kudu and springbok were my favorites. They are very lean and high protein meats. And the tomatoes and squash were fantastic, too. South African red wines are terrific, and your glass is rarely left half full :-)

 | Botswana Safari Lodges: Eating on Safari    |  | |
 |  | ||
 |  on May 31, 2004 |
One of the most wonderful surprises was the high quality of food in the safari camps we visited (Sandibe, Savute and Nxabega). In the first two, dining was communal, although at Sandibe you were served at your seat, while Savute uses a buffet presentation. At Nxabega, you have options -- to romantically sit together at secluded, set apart tables for two, or at this table with some of the people you've met. As all are basically outdoor settings, candles, lanterns and torches provide lighting. The camp managers and the guides also join you at dinner and conversation always was stimulating in our experience. The ccafrica camps served more game (kudu, springbok, ostrich) dishes, usually with either Malay or African spices. Savute was a bit more European/UK influenced in main dish choices (beef straganoff) , but all three were really top notch...and light breakfast, brunch, morning drive snacks/drinks, poolside/deck drinks, snacks, "tea", sundowner drinks/snacks, dinners are all included. We LOVED the opportunity to try all the wonderful game! Ostrich, kudu and springbok were my favorites. They are very lean and high protein meats. And the tomatoes and squash were fantastic, too.

| Picnic under the sun  | | |
| | ||
 |  on April 19, 2003 |
When you travel by truck by the lonely roads of this flat country, a tree by the road side may be a perfect place for a stop and a nice lunch under the tree, on the shade. Although we went in winter (august) the sun was really strong, so all shades were welcome... |

| Bush Brunch | | |
| | ||
 |  on March 27, 2006 |
Not really a restuarant. But the camp staff laid on a wonderful brunch out in the bush to end our morning safari. In a trip wher great food is commonplace, the setting of these bush meals makes them outstanding. As an added extra we were given a greeting of a local song and dance by the staff, all under the shade of a huge baobob tree Presumably the local predators are not used to having their food cooked so none seemed to be tempted to come and join us for lunch. |

We ate at the Chobe Game Lodge. Our stay included all meals and they even packed us a big, wonderful breakfast for one of our safaris. They always had plenty of drinks on the game drives for us too. The food was wonderful. Pictured here are the warthogs that grazed outside our rooms and sometimes were on the menu! That's my son in the background |

| Granny's Kitchen  | | |

 |  on September 27, 2008 |
This cafe was en route to Meno a Kwena, we stopped off to pick up a sandwich for lunch. Unfortunately, our wait which amounted to approx. 45minutes tried our patients and so we left empty handed. Africa time is one thing but when no sandwiches arrived after this period of time and with us being the only customers, we concluded they had gone to make the cheese. |

| CHICKEN LICKEN: SLYDERS TO GO | | |
| | ||
 |  on May 19, 2008 |
Chicken Lickin has some good combo meals and side dishes. They are famous for their small chicken sandwiches called “Slyders” that you can pick up in multiples. The ladies that work here are friendly and fast. How good is it? Its ok, its fast food fried chicken. They have lots of locations across Botswana and they stay open a bit later than most. I ate at one very late one night. Delicious, but I hadn’t eaten all day. By the way, Chicken Licken has a great sense of humour. They were taken to court by KFC because they felt their name was to close to their “Finger licking good” slogan. KFC lost. Then Chicken Licken ran a TV advertisement that had an old guy who looked like Colonel Sanders eating here. They lost that one. |

| Nata Lodge: Salads and Sandwiches | | |
| | ||
| on September 27, 2008 |
Nata Lodge is a lovely stopping off point for lunch. A cool ladies bar area to sit in eating a meal from a vast menu. From typical African carnivorous food to salads and sandwiches are amongst the choice. The setting is relaxing and facilities great. SADLY, ON THE 25TH SEPTEMBER, THE LODGE WAS BURNT DOWN IN A BUSH FIRE. A TRAGEDY INDEED. |

| Brunch at Camp | | |
| | ||
| on April 8, 2004 |
After a morning's game viewing you come back to camp for a brunch like this. Because you are up really early for the first game drive and have been out having a great time you can build up a healthy appetite and need something pretty substantial to keep you going until 4:00pm when you have tea and cakes before the evening drive.

 |  on August 25, 2002 |
In realta' viaggiando in tenda, non ho potuto frequentare i ristoranti. Mi e' capitato di fare colazione in qualche resort di lusso, dove la colazione e a buffet. C'e' una grande scelta costa poco (questo nel 94) ed e' accessibile a tutti. . In reality I travel with a tent, so I wasn't able to frequent the restaurants. Sometimes I went to get breakfast in some luxury resort, where you can enjoy a great choice of food, cheaper ( this in the 94 ) and is accesible to all. |
