Cuisine and Wine

When it comes to mealtimes the kitchen at Tree Lodge is open to guests, ask the chefs questions about food preparation, what is for dinner, how did you cook that or just sit back and watch them work. This is one of the nicest aspects of the lodge, the willingness of the chefs to share secrets of their trade just adds another dimension to one's experience at the lodge.

Breakfasts are very flexible and are offered either at the lodge or in the form of a picnic feast while out on a game drive. Lunches again depending on what activities are planned is either at the lodge or as a picnic in the National Park.

Dinners are a 3-course affair in either the indoor dining area or outdoors in the Boma under the African stars and next to a roaring fire - weather dependent.
