Food & Drink at Kafunta Safaris

SUSTAINABILITY & ORGANIC FOOD

Our cuisine is inspired by Africa’s rich cultural heritage, it is sophisticated, tasty and healthy and no matter what your dietary restrictions are, our chefs will be happy to prepare delectable dishes to please all palates. We hope to surprise your tastebuds with our selection of fresh vegetables, juicy fruits and Zambian-sourced meat and fish that compose our every-day menu at Kafunta River Lodge and our two bush camps. We grow our own herbs and part of our vegetables such as lettuce and tomatoes. We look at Mfuwe growers for staple supplies and the rest of our kitchen provisions are ordered from Chipata or Lusaka.

OUR FOOD

Our preparations are varied and inspired by African and Worldwide gastronomic cultures to result in an aromatic fusion of food served in spectacular wilderness settings.

OUR CHEFS

All our chefs are Luangwa locals and are passionate about food preparation and learning new culinary skills. We offer on-going training with in-house or visiting gastronomic specialists and together they design the season’s menu, from morning snacks to desserts.

OUR GARDEN

We strive to source our food as locally and as sustainably as possible. We have a huge elephant-proof garden where we grow herbs, tomatoes, lettuce, etc and we rely on local farmers for much of our fresh supplies.
