A Feast in the Wild

At Auberge Safari, dining is not bound by place or time — it moves with the rhythm of the wild. A leisurely breakfast beneath a canopy of trees one day, a picnic lunch with your guide in the bush the next. From casual meals under canvas to lantern-lit dinners under the stars, the table is wherever the day takes you.

In Tanzania, food is connection

Our chefs craft dishes that celebrate this connection: to place, to season, and to the people around the table. Every plate is an expression of culinary mastery — in detail, in flavor, in execution — beyond what you'd expect from a kitchen under canvas. Every dietary preference and requirement is accommodated, meals shaped entirely around you with no set times and no shared settings. Children are as welcome at the table as anyone. Out here, food is not an addition to your safari — it's part of it.

Signature Dining Experiences

Breakfast Beneath the Trees

Breakfast itself becomes an experience when you're out in the bush — a table set beneath the canopy, freshly brewed coffee, and the gentle hum of nature all around. Spread before you: pastries fresh from the oven, homemade yogurt and fruit, and a hot breakfast of your choice, cooked on-site by our chefs.

  • Available at Chem Chem Lodge

Al Fresco Dining

Tables set in the shade of towering acacias, plates shaped by season and setting — al fresco dining at our camps is as much about where you are as what's laid before you. Breakfast, lunch, or dinner unfolding in the open air, the sounds and scenes of the wild in your backdrop.

  • Available at Nyasi, Songa, Mila, Little Chem Chem, and Forest Chem Chem

Garden Picnics

A private picnic amid the manicured lawns of Legendary Lodge, framed by tropical foliage. Comfy cushions beneath a makeshift canopy, drinks on ice, a basket packed with dishes prepared by our team — and nowhere to be except right where you are.

  • Available at Legendary Lodge

Dining That Restores

  • Ponya

    Wellbeing and dining become one in our Ponya menus — named for the Swahili word for 'heal' — which sit alongside our broader kitchen offering. Home-grown produce harvested daily from our greenhouse and locally sourced superfoods lie at the heart of every dish, available across breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Food that nourishes as much as it satisfies.

    • Available at Chem Chem Lodge, Little Chem Chem, and Forest Chem Chem

  • The Jetlag Box

    Tempering the weariness of long-haul travel, our jetlag box is a curated collection of homemade juices, smoothies, and dishes — each ingredient chosen for its nutritional value, designed to rehydrate, restore, and ease you back into your body before the next chapter of your adventure begins.

    • Available at Legendary Lodge

Dining, Where The Wild Sets The Scene

  • Bush Picnics

    When you're out on a game drive, dining becomes part of the adventure. Your guide finds the spot — a riverbank, the open plains, a shady tree — and lays out our signature picnic spread, with the bush as your dining room.

    • Available at Mwiba Plains, Mwiba Lodge, Chem Chem Lodge, Mila, Nyasi, Songa, Little Chem Chem and Forest Chem Chem

    Wild Dining

    A drive deep into the wilderness brings you to a dinner few destinations can match. Under canvas or a canopy of trees, a wholly private dining experience unfolds just for you — a table lit by lanterns, the wild wrapped around you, and course after course arriving in a flourish of flavor, prepared by our chefs on site.

    • Available at Mwiba Lodge, Chem Chem Lodge and Forest Chem Chem
