With your own dedicated chef, each menu is crafted with the artistry and precision of a Michelin-level kitchen, offering a culinary journey that captures the spirit of the Zambezi and the traditions of the Zambian people. Much of what is served begins just steps away, in our organic gardens where seasonal herbs, vegetables, and fruits are grown by hand. We proudly source from local markets, selecting only the freshest produce to complement our homegrown harvests.
