Expecting a
wide variety of
menu choices

Repeat performances

Don't be surprised if today's dish (with minor modification in name and flavoring agent) appears on tomorrow's menu in a sub-luxury lodge.

Game meat

Don't count on an extensive variety of game meat. Some animals are protected by law (unless the meat is available from a game farm or was legally hunted to cull a herd, it won't be on the menu).

Dining with
the same people
every night

Expand your experience

Occasionally ask the staff to sit you at a table with strangers. It's a good way to get to know other safari-goers - and to hear new safari stories.
