A Table With a View
Dining spots that are anything but ordinary
When the setting rivals the cuisine, a meal becomes more than nourishment, it becomes an experience. These exceptional dining destinations pair thoughtfully prepared fare with striking surroundings, turning every meal into a moment worth remembering.
SEYCHELLES
Alphonse Island
Dine on a sandbar surrounded by the shimmering blues of the Indian Ocean. As the tides retreat and the flats emerge, a beautifully presented buffet appears in this surreal setting. Barefoot, with your toes in the sand and a plate full of fresh island flavours, you’ll enjoy a feast that’s as spectacular as the scenery itself.
TANZANIA
Jabali Ridge
Tucked amongst ancient granite boulders and shaded by acacia and baobab trees, Jabali Ridge offers a magical evening dinner experience under the African sky. Guests enjoy a three-course gourmet meal surrounded by the sounds of the bush and the warm glow of lanterns in their boma. An elegant atmosphere where you can savour locally inspired dishes and share stories after a day of safari adventures.
KENYA
Ol Donyo Lodge
At the base of Mount Kilimanjaro, dining can take on a thrilling dimension. Enjoy a beautiful continental style breakfast, or refreshing sundowner in the lodge’s open-air hide, where elephants, big tuskers, and other wildlife come to drink just metres away. One lucky group spotted a cheetah and her cubs while sipping wine, a true safari moment to remember.
NAMIBIA
Wolwedans Camps
In the heart of the Namib Desert, Wolwedans presents lunch at their quirky and charming “Hard Rock Café”. A remote outpost surrounded by towering red dunes and rugged boulders. It’s a strikingly surreal setting where nature’s raw beauty and rustic elegance come together, offering a unique desert dining experience unlike any other.
ANTARCTICA
Echo Camp
One of the lunch experiences offered at Echo Camp takes the form of the Adventurer’s Picnic, an experience as bold and memorable as the landscape itself. Set against a vast expanse of ice and sky, guests gather for a thoughtfully prepared picnic featuring hearty, warming dishes designed for polar exploration. Surrounded by sculpted glaciers and the profound stillness of Antarctica, this is a meal where the setting eclipses convention. Sitting on fur wrapped chairs, bundled against the cold, lunch becomes a shared moment of wonder: raw, elemental, and utterly unforgettable .
MADAGASCAR
Miavana by Time + Tide
Miavana’s Seafood Beach Lunch is the epitome of effortless island luxury. Arranged on a pristine, powder-white beach, the table is laden with freshly caught lobster, prawns, and reef fish, grilled to perfection and paired with vibrant salads and chilled wine. The ocean laps just steps away, the breeze carries the scent of salt and citrus, and time seems to slow to the rhythm of the tide. It’s a celebration of place, flavour, and freedom. A lunch so beautiful it feels almost unreal.
