Dining

At Makalali

Dining at Makalali is a culinary adventure. The cuisine is a combination of regional African cuisine which represents a melting pot of cooking styles left behind by centuries of exploration on this great continent.

Dining is casual and relaxed and at Makalali, our chefs provide an array of dining experiences, from dinner in the bush or the legendary ‘boma dinner’ under the stars. Other options include the indoor-outdoor dining area where you can enjoy a plated dinner or a more casual family style dining with other guests.

We understand that children enjoy lighter, smaller meals and we have therefore catered to their specific needs. This menu has a choice of all their favorite foods to satisfy their taste buds. Our chefs have prepared appetizing meals using fresh, healthy ingredients and these include favorites like: Fish & Chips, Spaghetti Bolognaise, Hamburgers, Roast Chicken with Rice and Pizza. Please liaise with your Camp Manager / Chef to arrange your children’s meals.
