Dining

Meals at Baines River Camp are at your own convenience and served according to your schedule and preference. You don’t even have to eat in camp: delicious breakfast or lunch picnics may be packed for you to enjoy out on your game drive or boat cruise.

Evening dining is a relaxed affair, enjoyed with either fellow guests on the outside dining area, under the African night sky or as a private dinner on your veranda. Choose your starter, main and dessert over a pre-dinner drink, presented by the talented chefs Crispin and Titus. If you fancy something entirely different, discuss your preferences with the staff.
