"Have you ever wondered about the roots of bush dinners? This delightful tradition hails from Africa’s rich outdoor culinary heritage, particularly in East and Southern Africa. It emerged as a way to savour meals amidst the breathtaking wilderness, often during exciting safaris."

"Historically, bush dinners began as nourishment for hunters who couldn’t bring their kill home after a long day. Meals typically included fresh meat, stew, and vegetables. This time also provided an opportunity for Indigenous communities to gather around fires, sharing delicious food and stories, deepening their connection to nature and one another. While this experience has evolved from rustic to a more luxurious concept, many traditional elements remain. This idea elegantly combines the communal spirit with gourmet flair, allowing diners to savour fresh, local ingredients and enjoy breathtaking landscapes."

"At lodges and safari camps, bush dining has become a celebrated experience, where guests dine under the stars, surrounded by the sounds of nature."

"Join us at Samburu Sopa Lodge to experience bush dining for yourself. The Samburu sky is clear almost year-round, adding a special lustre to the outdoor dining experience, enhanced by the dazzling stars. Complete your evening with vibrant traditional Samburu dancers, who bring an extra touch of magic to your meal."
