FOOD AND WATER
A local chef will prepare breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Lunch and dinner will be a mix
of international and local cuisine, including traditional Namibian meals such as
poitjiekos (game stews) and braais (barbeques), using free- range game from the
game reserve. You don’t need to assist in shopping, food preparation, or clean up,
unless you want to. In the occasional event that we bring a picnic on a day trip, you
may be asked to help prepare your own lunch. Most meals will be eaten communally
on site in the mess tent dining area.
Tea, coffee, water, squash and snacks will be available throughout the day.
Alcohol consumption is not permitted by minors regardless of local law.
The following are examples of foods you may find in the field. Variety depends on
availability. We appreciate your flexibility
