    Dining

    Enjoy delicious meals at Lion Sands Ivory Lodge with a unique African twist. The 3-course dinner is an à la carte affair, with a menu that changes daily and includes unique specialities such as zebra and black cherry potjie, or crocodile kebabs with a lemon butter and apricot sauce.

    Meals can be served out on the large wooden decks under the shade of the mahogany trees, in the intimate dining room, or under the stars in the boma area. For something more intimate, choose to dine in the privacy of your suite.

    For a real culinary experience, request a bush dinner or bush breakfast – sample delicious food at a table for two, surrounded by the African bush.

    Lion Sands Ivory Lodge features a separate, fully Kosher kitchen.
