Set under the starlit sky, surrounded by the natural sounds of the Sabi Sand Game Reserve, a boma dinner is more than just a meal—it’s an experience that celebrates the wilderness, camaraderie, and the flavours of Africa. Take a look at the highlights below.

A Lantern-Lit Setting

After an afternoon game drive and a chance to freshen up, guests are guided to the boma—an open-air dining area steeped in African tradition. Historically used as a safe enclosure, the boma has evolved into a sacred space for gathering and celebration. At Leopard Hills, the boma is a beautifully designed structure encircled by natural wooden walls and illuminated by flickering lanterns.

At its heart is a large open fire, a symbol of warmth and togetherness in the bush after dusk. As the flames crackle and the stars light up the sky, you’ll find yourself embraced by the tranquil beauty of the African wilderness, creating the perfect setting for an unforgettable dining experience.

A Culinary Showcase of South Africa

At Leopard Hills, the boma dinners are a celebration of African-inspired cuisine, with a menu crafted to showcase the rich culinary heritage of South Africa. Using the best and freshest locally sourced ingredients, each dish is designed to take you on a sensory journey through the flavours of South Africa.

Highlights of the boma menu include:

• Braai (Barbecue): A mouthwatering selection of meats, including lamb chops, steaks, and chicken, grilled to perfection over an open flame.
• Potjiekos: A traditional South African slow-cooked stew made with tender meats, seasonal vegetables, and aromatic spices, cooked in a cast-iron pot.
• Freshly Baked Bread: Warm, homemade bread and rolls are perfect for pairing with hearty stews or mopping up delicious sauces.

Vegetarian and vegan guests are also catered for, with a variety of thoughtfully prepared dishes ensuring that everyone can enjoy the magic of the boma.

An Evening Under The Stars

A boma dinner is about more than just great food—it’s an evening to connect, reflect, and share. Guests and guides gather around the fire, recounting the day’s adventures while sipping on a glass of South Africa’s finest wine. The sounds of the bush—chirping crickets, distant roars of lions, and the rustle of leaves—create an enchanting soundtrack to the evening.

Each meal is a reminder of the magic of being on safari, with its untouched landscapes, incredible wildlife, and moments of quiet connection.
