Just let us know in advance, and we will ensure your food preferences are met.
What can I expect to eat & drink on safari?
During your Tanzania Safari, breakfast is usually a buffet-style “British” breakfast, featuring items like omelettes, potatoes, bacon/sausage (similar to hot dogs), toast, cereals, and more. For lunch, you can expect cold chicken, yogurt, juice, hard-boiled eggs, raw veggies, and baked goods like cake or cookies. Dinner usually includes meat, potatoes or rice, and vegetarian options.
Is it okay to eat salads, fruits, and drink the water?
It’s safe to eat fresh salads and fruits during your safari, as they are generally safe and healthy. However, tap water in Tanzania is not safe to drink directly. We recommend drinking bottled or filtered water throughout your safari to avoid any health issues.
Can special diets be accommodated?
At Bush Lion Tours, we can accommodate a wide range of special diets. Whether you’re vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, or have any other dietary requirements, we will make sure to arrange meals that fit your needs. Please inform us about your food preferences when booking your safari, and we’ll take care of the rest to ensure you enjoy your trip without any concerns about your meals.
