Bush Dining

From a traditional barbecue in a lantern-lit boma to a fireside feast in a starry riverbed, we create dining occasions at Thornybush that are unique and magical experiences. We can prepare a romantic à la carte dinner and serve it on your private deck or set the scene for you to celebrate that special occasion. At Saseka Tented Camp, we offer a tasting menu experience and a Pan-African culinary evening and if you’re staying at one of our family villas, a personal chef will prepare your meals with local flair.

Bush breakfasts are served in true Out Of Africa style. As you arrive, you’ll be welcomed by bowls of warm water to wash your hands before you sit down at tables set under the trees. Tuck into platters of seasonal fruit, yoghurt and our delicious homemade muesli, followed by a continental or full-cooked breakfast, coffee, Mimosas and Bloody Marys.

At Thornybush our menus are paired with superb South African wines, and we pride ourselves on using fresh produce from local suppliers and our community farms. We cater for all dietary requirements. Halaal and Kosher food is also available on request.
