Selati Train Restaurant & Museum at Skukuza Camp: Stick with the fillet

    The venison was really
    tough...
    by diver-x
    Probably the most interesting restaurant that we ate at inside of Kruger National Park was the Selati Restaurant at Skukuza rest camp. The restaurant is in the old train station that used to service the park and there's even an old locomotive and passenger car there.

    All of the restaurants in Kruger that we ate at offered pretty much the same fare: buffet dinners consisting of some kind of stew, chicken, some kind of roast or chop, salad, fruit, rice, potatoes, cheese and a desert tray.

    However, at Selati, we were able to order meals off the menu. I ordered the venison, while Cliff ordered the fillet. Well, my jaw got a lot of exercise with the venison, but Cliff's fillet was pretty darned tender. We ordered the most expensive bottle of wine on the list, which came to about $15 or $17 USD. It was drinkable, but not the best South Africa has to offer. I think the whole dinner cost us about $40 or 50 USD.

    The service, as at all of the park restaurants was impeccable. The second you clear a plate, or finish a glass, somebody is there to take it out of your way and offer you more. I give Selati a B- overall.

    Stick with the fillet!

    We found that we did not need anything fancy for food during our 3-days in Kruger. We usually went with fruit and water (from our large flask that we had bought in Sabie) as we drove on our early morning game viewing tours. For lunch, we timed our trips to arrive at one of the game camps where we would usually have a quick sandwich from their restaurants, usually toasted ham & cheese or mayonnaise & chicken, washed down with a cold Lion lager or two!

    For our evening meals, we would get slightly more serious usually opting for a tasty beef curry or the like! This photo shows the river viewing area of Oliphants camp where we enjoyed our lunchtime chicken & mayo sandwiches with a beer, while watching elephants cavorting in the almost dry Oliphants river below. While we were there, a sudden summer rainshower opened up and poured down for 15 minutes, then it was all over!

    Another lodge where the dinner was included with the accommodation. A beautiful dinning table and atmosphere in a real African safari.

    They served us some traditional soup for startes and very nice main dish. For dissert we had some cake.

    A Braai
    by Jenniflower
    They come in all shapes and sizes, for young and old. The braai.

    This picture shows a braai that was made from the rim of a car tyre... quite rustic and elementary but does the job! On the other hand you can go to a supermarket and pay a couple hundred Rand for a posh braai with lots of extra features, wheels etc.

    My choice? The one before you. Keep it simple to fully appreciate it's pleasures.

    Dinner in the bush
    by phil_uk_net
    Traditional food, an open fire and just the sounds of the bush to listen to. Fantastic. The only thing separating us from marauding lions was a very thin fence.
    This was included in the room rate. See details in the 'Accommodations' section.

    As you are in the middle of nowhere - RIGHT IN THE WILDERNESS - there are no restaurants. All lodges' offer breakfast, lunch and dinner which are included in the price as well as all safari trips (2 per day). You form a BIG family and share the same table with other participants, rangers and your lodge hosts. It's fun as you get to meet new people, you can ask them questions if you have just arrived or if you have stayed longer and become a - PRO (LOL)- you can spice meal times by telling your personal TRUE-STORIES!

    I'm sitting in the lower left coner awaiting for the open-air buffet dinner to start

    Some private game reserves go beyone all boundries to make the visit a spectacular one. Here in Londolozi we were treated to a breakfast in a dried out river bed after we returned from our game drive. Hot English Breakfast with champagne right in the heart of the bush!!
