Food and Nutritions on safari
The culinary experience on a safari can vary significantly based on the duration of your trip and your choice of accommodation. Luxury lodges typically offer a wider array of dining options compared to mobile camps, as they are equipped with full kitchens and facilities to preserve food for extended periods.
Regardless of your dining choice during a Tanzanian safari, you can expect meals to be freshly prepared and delectable. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to savor local dishes, enhancing your cultural immersion.
Most safari operators are well-equipped to accommodate dietary restrictions, including vegan and vegetarian preferences. It is advisable to inform us of any specific dietary needs at the time of booking to ensure that special meals can be arranged for you.

Safari-Inspired Wine Pairings for Different Animals
Big Game: Pairing with Bold Red Wines
When you think of big game, think of big, bold red wines that match the majesty of the beasts. A full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon or a robust Malbec pairs beautifully with the thrill of watching a lioness hunt or an elephant family bathe in the mud. The intensity of these wines perfectly encapsulates the drama of the wild while offering a lush backdrop for your outdoor dining. It’s like sharing a toast with the kings and queens of the savanna!
Birdwatching: Light Whites and Rosés
For those who prefer feathered friends over furry ones, light whites and refreshing rosés are your go-to companions. A crisp Pinot Grigio or a delicate Rosé can add a touch of elegance to a birdwatching session as you sip and scan the skies for vibrant birds. These lighter wines mirror the effervescence of nature, ensuring that even a gentle breeze feels like a celebration. Plus, they pair wonderfully with picnic snacks like cheese and crackers—perfect fuel for your birdwatching adventure!
