[header] Cuisine

The cuisine at RiverBend is the perfect fusion of traditional European food and Pan-African fare.

Matched with an award-winning wine list, a meal at RiverBend is a gastronomic experience. Executive chef Christopher Whitham believes that dining should be an experience, not simply fulfilling a desire to eat. "My guests have the option of choosing from a café-style A'la Carte menu for a leisurely and relaxed lunch, to a 7-course dinner experience that would please the most sensitive of connoisseurs."

Meals are not restricted to the dining-room and guests are encouraged to make use of one of the verandahs or to arrange a packed picnic to enjoy on a game drive. Candle-lit dinners in the privacy of your suite are arranged for a truly romantic treat.
