    Dining

    Etali’s cuisine is a contemporary fusion of traditional African flavours with an Asian twist. Meals are light and healthy with lots of fresh seasonal and organically grown vegetables, fruit and herbs. There is no set menu as the chef extraordinaire selects only the best local produce daily to work his magic. Etali house wines are supplied by Glenwood Estate. Etali also offers traditional South African dinners in the stone built ‘lesaka’ kraal close to the waterhole. Bush breakfasts and dinners are also available on request.
