In Selous Ngalawa Camp, you can expect good simple fare, although there’s not a huge variety. Breakfast is a buffet consisting of hot cinnamon rolls, eggs, and toast served with coffee or tea and juices. Lunch is a buffet or a simple packed lunch of sandwiches, fruit, and cakes if you’re going out on a full day drive. Dinners are a three-course affair, often taken out on the terrace under the stars, weather permitting.
Starters are served at your table; think tempura vegetables or an onion soup with warm bread rolls. The main course is a buffet of various meats, pasta, curries, and vegetarian dishes. The dessert was once a sponge cake with chocolate sauce, a little bit bland, but it’s hard to get a lot of ingredients so far out in the bush. If you’re lucky, the bushmen may entertain you while you eat and during your walking safari with singing and dancing.
