Jungle Afternoon Tea

An indulgent addition to an afternoon in the wild!

Taking the art of wilderness dining to a new level, our high-tea experience in the jungle is truly special.  Our team will pick a beautiful spot near a river, by a waterhole or with a scenic vista. Guests descend from their vehicles, stretch their legs and indulge in some exquisite creations from our pastry kitchen. Our rangers may scour the area for some foot-prints and possibly piece together some animal movements from the previous night. You just might learn how to identify the age of an elephant from studying its footprint – with a well-jammed scone in hand no less!
