Restaurants

Waterbuck Lodge Dining

At Waterbuck Lodge, all meals are inclusive.

A hearty breakfast is enjoyed either in the bush while on game drive, or back at the lodge on the deck overlooking the waterhole.  Guests may choose from a continental breakfast selection or have a full English breakfast – or both!

Prior to the afternoon game drive, an elaborate High Tea is served, made up of sweet and savoury dishes.

In the evenings, dinner is generally enjoyed al fresco in the open-air boma.  From time to time, the lodge will also present bush dinners – typically a ‘braai’ or barbeque, with a selection of meats and typically South African dishes as accompaniment.
