Breakfast with Lions: Foodie Adventures in Africa

Experiences

Like no other experience, destination dining in Africa combines adventure, indulgence, and unforgettable moments.

Culinary adventurousness varies in intensity. While some people's pulses race at the thought of the Chinese restaurant around the corner, for others it can't be exotic enough. Frog legs in Vietnam? Tried it long ago. Häggis in Scotland? Favorite food. Hamsters in Peru? An authentic experience. If you take the happy medium route, you might find yourself in Botswana, Kenya or Zimbabwe. Because here Great Plains with its Destination Dining in Africa on the one hand delicious dishes and on the other hand special places – mit Gänsehautgarantie!
