WHAT TO EAT & DRINK IN AFRICA

Africa’s food will set your taste buds singing and we’ll show you all the best dishes to try from satisfying stews and hearty porridges to barbecued meats packed with flavor.

Pap en vleis (south africa)

Pap en vleis is a classic South African dish and while every region has their own version it all boils down to the same thing - maize meal porridge and meat. The pap is the thick maize meal while the vleis can be any kind of meat you like! Simple, yet oh so satisfying.

Namibian venison (namibia)

Venison is eaten all over southern Africa but ask any Namibian and they’ll tell you the best venison comes from Namibia. It’s the meat of game animals like springbok, gemsbok and ostrich and it’s best eaten in a potjiekos (a hearty stew) or a traditional braaivleis, where the meat is barbecued over an open fire.

HOW TO TRAVEL RESPONSIBLY IN AFRICA

Respect the wildlife

Safari game drives are a thrilling experience but it’s important to always follow the rules of the reserves, never ask your guide to leave the trails or chase wildlife, and never use flash photography around animals.

Use water wisely

Water is extremely scarce in many African countries, so help save water by reusing towels and sheets, taking shorter showers, turning off taps tightly, and reporting any leaks.

Check your souvenirs

It is both unethical and illegal to buy products made from the tusks, horns, furs and skin of endangered animals, so go for more sustainable souvenirs like local arts and crafts made by passionate artisans.
