After an adventurous day, experience a true taste of South Africa with a braai
around a boma fire.

The African boma (also known as a kraal) has a long history dating back to pre-colonial Africa when native groups used wooden fences to enclose livestock and fortify family homesteads. The closely knit branches were more akin to walls than fences and also served as a windshield. Today, while many farmers still use this method to fence in livestock or enclose a homestead, safari game lodges around the continent have also adopted this and celebrate in the architectural history of the African boma, using the stylised wooden structures to enclose outdoor dining areas and create a warm, inviting space where guests can enjoy dining under the African night sky.
