Wilderness Picnics
Enjoy an unforgettable al fresco dining experience during your Samara stay.
Samara’s wealth of stunning landscapes positively begs to be the setting for a delicious meal. Aside from the beautiful locations, gourmet picnic food has a certain je-ne-sais-quoi that just epitomises holiday mode.
What is it that makes food taste better when eaten outdoors? We’re not sure of the exact recipe, but it probably has something to do with the smell of the campfire, the hunger-inducing fresh air, and the pleasing parallel of sipping a Scotch on the rocks, well… on the rocks.
As well as dining on your lodge verandah or in the outdoors “boma”, a traditional reed enclosure at Karoo Lodge with a campfire at its centre, there are myriad other dining options to enjoy at Samara. From a picnic lunch in the riverbed at the height of summer with cool water flowing past your toes, to our iconic mountain picnic experience on the Samara Mara – each setting is as special as the next.
