The Johannesburg Cuisine Safari is a three part dining experience curated across Johannesburg. The focus is on traditional foods, sometimes with a contemporary twist. Guests taste their way through the city spatially, historically, and culturally.

Where the tasting sessions take place will depend on the day, but there are always three components. Sometimes we feature our Soweto Soul Food Tasting Menu at the heart of the experience, sometimes it’s a Sotho inspired Farm to Fork Tasting Menu at an urban farm downtown.  Around one of these centrepieces, we explore some Pan African flavours, in a small eatery downtown, and some of the famous shisa nyama, cuts of meat barbequed street side.  Local drinks also feature, sometimes in the form of local beer and fermented maize drinks.

A typical itinerary could look like this:

  • 1400 collection of guests
  • 1430 Pan African course downtown
  • 1530 Farm to Fork Sotho Tasting Menu in Bertrams
  • 1700 Shisa Nyama in Soweto
  • 1800 Drop off back at hotel
