Johannesburg Cuisine Safari

Private Tour

Duration: 4 Hours

The Johannesburg Cuisine Safari is a comprehensive three-part dining experience curated across the city. Focusing on traditional foods with contemporary evolutions, guests taste their way through the city’s complex spatial and cultural history.

The safari is built on three essential pillars that showcase the diversity of modern Joburg:

• The Smoked Meat Scene: We explore the innovative wood-fired techniques taking Soweto by storm, offering a contemporary twist on traditional barbecue.
• Indian Influence in Fordsburg: We journey into the aromatic streets of Fordsburg to explore the rich Indian heritage of the city, sampling legendary street food, spices, and traditional dishes.
• Pan-African Flavours: We head into the city center to visit small, specialized eateries that showcase the diverse flavors and culinary traditions of the broader African diaspora.

Throughout the journey, local drinks feature prominently, from craft beers to traditional fermented maize drinks. By meeting the cooks and vendors, you gain an intimate understanding of how these three layers—tradition, continental migration, and the deep roots of the diaspora—define the Johannesburg of today.
