Dining

Every meal at Lion Sands celebrates South African flavours and the wilderness surrounding you. From refined plated dinners to relaxed boma barbecues under stars, bush breakfasts to surprise riverside picnics - dining becomes part of your safari experience, shaped by our chefs' creativity and the rhythm of the season.

Dining in the Wild

Breakfast beside the river where your morning game drive discovered lion tracks. Lunch on your private deck as vervet monkeys chatter overhead. Dinner around the boma fire whilst stars multiply above and stories flow freely. Some nights, lanterns light a table beneath ancient trees you didn't know existed. Each setting chosen to amplify the magic of what you're eating.

South African Wine

Our cellars showcase the Cape's finest - Stellenbosch reds that pair perfectly with kudu, crisp Franschhoek whites for fresh fish, boutique estates you won't find back home. We work directly with South African winemakers whose wines reflect our terroir and complement seasonal menus. Each bottle is matched to what's on your plate.
