Menus vary daily and our staff chef, will certainly let the "vote" of the guests influence the menu selections. For example, if the party votes to have beef two nights in a row, so be it. As noted elsewhere, we are at your beck and call. Meals are either served on the poolside verandah, at night, under the stars in the Boma! or in the main lodge formal dining room.
