If you'd prefer to keep things simple, we can help you plan your meals before arrival.
Dining options include:
Leadwood Bush Bites: Pre-order selected frozen meals, including pastas, to enjoy during your stay. Please note that this accommodation type does not have a braai oven, so pizza options may not be suitable.
Restaurant bookings: We can assist with arranging restaurant dining options at neighbouring lodges.
Bring your own: Pack your favourite ingredients and meals to prepare at camp.
We also sell firewood, ice, charcoal and firelighters at the camp, so you can stock up on the essentials for a relaxed evening around the fire.
