We believe that dining is not just about food; it's about an experience. We use seasonal and fresh ingredients to create hearty, yet elegant dining experiences that are as memorable as they are delicious. Our culinary approach is an integral part of our world-class safari experience, whether it's a leisurely lunch watching over elephants at a nearby waterhole or a dinner under the stars after a day of wildlife sightings, we ensure that any dietary needs are met.

A Local Taste With A Global Touch

Our meals celebrate South African flavours, created from local produce and enriched with the stories of our heritage. This is why we've teamed up with renowned South African chef Karen Dudley, who brings a wealth of culinary expertise and has dazzled palates both locally and internationally.

A Culinary Artist At Work

After closing her beloved Cape Town restaurant, The Kitchen, Karen started a new chapter that brought her to the kitchens of Sabi Sabi. Free from the demands of restaurant ownership, she now channels her creativity into enhancing the dining experiences at our lodges. Karen's work involves not just introducing new dishes but also mentoring our chefs, imparting crucial skills and a deep understanding of global flavours and contemporary cuisine.

Your Invitation To Dine With Us

At Sabi Sabi, every meal tells a story. Many guests leave with a copy of the Sabi Sabi cookbook or a handwritten recipe as a treasured souvenir, allowing them to relive their safari through flavours at home.

We invite you to dine under the African sky, surrounded by the sounds of the wild and the tales of the bush. Our culinary offering is an integral part of the safari adventure and one of the many reasons our guests return.
