Food & Drink in the Okavango Delta

The clink of silver cutlery on china, the sound of a cork popping from a wine bottle and the hum of good-natured table conversation is not something that's restricted to city restaurants. The Okavango Delta Accommodations are famous for their fine cuisine and the settings are sublime. Whether looking out over a lagoon inhabited by a chorus of frogs, or nestled in the boughs of a mighty riverine tree, your culinary experience is one that will not be forgotten in a hurry.

An early start to your game drive is vital in the bush so your first meal is likely to be tea or coffee served with fruit and rusks (a local biscuit). Awaiting your return is a lavish brunch: tables creaking with yoghurts, cereals, freshly-baked bread, cold meats, cheeses, bacon and eggs.

Your afternoon activity will sharpen your appetite for the evening meal. After sundowners in the bush or on a tranquil lagoon, freshen up and take your place at a table where candlelit silverware winks at you from starched linen.

Sumptuous dishes follow, accompanied by vintage wines and crystal clear Delta water. Prepare for a blend of local and international cuisine rounded off with coffee and digestifs around a fire while swapping game drive stories.
