On a Timon Safaris adventure, meals ensure guests have a delightful and energetic experience during their safari excursions. Here’s an overview of the typical meal arrangements when on safari with us:
Meal Arrangements with Timon Safaris
1. Breakfast:
- Lodge/Camp Breakfast: If you’re starting the day at your lodge or camp, you can expect a hearty breakfast, usually buffet-style. Choices often include fruits, cereals, bread and pastries, eggs cooked to order, sausages, bacon, coffee, tea, and juices.
- Early Morning Game Drives: If you’re heading out early for a game drive, a lighter “bush breakfast” or packed breakfast might be provided to maximize your wildlife viewing during the prime early hours.
2. Lunch:
- Lodge/Camp Lunch: Lunches at lodges or camps often mix local Tanzanian dishes and international cuisine, served as a buffet or set menu.
- On-the-Go: You’ll have a packed lunch if you’re on a full-day game drive or excursion. This typically includes sandwiches, fruits, snacks, juice or soft drinks, and sometimes a sweet treat.
3. Afternoon Tea/Coffee Break:
- Some lodges and camps offer an afternoon tea/coffee break with light snacks, especially if you’re heading out for an evening game drive.
4. Dinner:
- Dinners are delightful, often occurring under the African sky or in a cosy dining area. Depending on the accommodation, it might be a three-course meal, a buffet, or sometimes even a traditional Tanzanian meal. Expect a starter, a main course with meat, fish, and vegetarian options, and a dessert.
- Some places may offer special themed or barbecue nights for a unique dining experience.
5. Dietary Restrictions:
- Timon Safaris understands that some guests may have specific dietary needs or restrictions. We try to accommodate these needs, including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal, and more. It’s essential to inform us in advance to make arrangements accordingly.
6. Drinks:
- Water, coffee, and tea are typically included with meals. Some lodges and camps might contain soft drinks, beers, or wines. Premium drinks or a more comprehensive selection of alcoholic beverages might be available at an additional cost.
Timon Safaris believes in providing an authentic and immersive experience. Meals are a chance to refuel and experience local flavours, share stories of the day’s adventures, and connect with fellow travellers. We aim to ensure you’re well-fed and satisfied throughout your journey with us.
