Unforgettable Meals in the Heart of the African Bush

Bush Dining

Experience the magic of dining in the heart of the African bush with our special outdoor dining experiences. These memorable meals connect you with nature in extraordinary settings, creating moments that will remain with you long after your safari ends.

At Sekala Private Game Lodge, we believe that where you dine is just as important as what you eat. Our bush dining experiences allow you to enjoy exceptional cuisine while immersed in the sights, sounds, and scents of the African wilderness.

Boma Dinners

Our traditional boma dinners offer an authentic African dining experience around a crackling fire under the star-filled sky. Enclosed by a circular reed fence in traditional African style, the boma creates an intimate setting for enjoying the finest cuisine while connecting with the wilderness around you.

The Boma Experience includes:

  • Traditional South African Cuisine

    Featuring local specialties and regional favorites prepared with authentic techniques

  • Interactive Food Stations

    Watch as our chefs prepare dishes before you, adding a theatrical element to your dining

  • Communal Dining

    Foster connections with fellow guests while sharing stories of the day's adventures

  • Local Entertainment

  • Storytelling & Star-gazing

  • Nocturnal Soundscape

The boma experience typically features more relaxed, family-style dining with multiple options to satisfy all tastes. Weather permitting, this is a regular feature of your stay at Sekala.
