Set on a 55,000-acre private reserve near Victoria Falls, Matetsi River Lodge blends untamed Zambezi adventure with a dining experience unlike any other. With just 18 river-facing suites, each with its own plunge pool, guests savor the rhythm of life on the river — from game drives and cruises to secluded sandbank feasts under the stars.

At the heart of the lodge is its kitchen, where Zimbabwe’s leading chefs reimagine the region’s bounty. Fresh river bream, organic garden harvests, and sustainably sourced game are transformed into contemporary creations that honor local flavors while earning praise on the global stage. Here, every meal is as memorable as the safari itself. 🥂🧀🍇

Suspended 1,000 ft above the Great Rift Valley in the Maasai Mara, Angama Mara delivers an experience as dramatic as its views. At its heart is the legendary Out of Africa picnic – a private affair set on the very spot where the iconic scene was filmed, complete with linen-draped tables, crisp champagne, and sweeping Mara horizons. 🥂

Back at the lodge, a fresh, locally inspired menu draws from Maasai traditions and the fertile lands nearby, bringing a refined taste of Kenya to the table. 🌿🇰🇪

South Africa has fast become one of the world’s great culinary capitals. It is a place where bold flavors, rich heritage, and a new wave of world-class chefs come together to redefine the dining experience. 🍣🥢

From Cape Town’s award-winning restaurants to Cape Malay kitchens simmering with spice, and fine dining in the Winelands, cuisine here is deeply rooted and wildly inventive. Whether you’re in the city or on safari, expect food that tells a story – rooted in place, elevated in ex*****on, and delivered with signature South African warmth. 🇿🇦

New month, new flavor. 🍴✨

This August, we're following the flame.

From the crackle of open-fire cooking beneath endless skies to multi-course tasting menus in the wild, Africa serves up a sensory journey like no other.

Whether it’s under the stars in Zimbabwe or deep in the savanna stillness of South Africa, every dish tells a story — of country, of culture, of connection.

Are you ready?

At Sirai House, the safari doesn’t stop at the game drive. Experienced riders can saddle up for an unforgettable horseback safari, quietly moving through the bush beside big game like lion, black rhino, and more.

These rides are made possible by Sirai Stud, home to a carefully bred string of safari horses known for their strength, stamina, and calm temperament. 🐎

It’s a thrilling, elegant way to explore the wild – one that few ever get to experience, and even fewer will forget.
