ZAMBIA — The Royal Livingstone Hotel by Anantara has introduced two exclusive dining experiences that showcase Zambia’s beauty and local flavours.
These new offerings combine gourmet cuisine with Zambia’s stunning natural beauty, providing a unique and luxurious culinary journey.
Set against the majestic backdrop of Batoka Gorge, the Gorge Picnic offers a unique encounter with nature. Guests enjoy an exclusive helicopter ride to Bobo Camp, a restricted area boasting a private beach along the Zambezi River.
Awaiting them is a lavish picnic featuring local specialties like Zambezi River bream enhanced with ponzu and beef boerewors enriched with a unique herb jus.
Visitors can unwind on luxurious blankets and cushions, enjoying gourmet bites amidst the striking gorge cliffs and the serene river flow.
Ideal for significant celebrations or elite corporate gatherings, the helicopter departure offers a breathtaking aerial view of Victoria Falls, concluding the experience memorably.
The Zambezi Dining Experience starts with a sunset exploration, deepening guests’ understanding of Zambian life and traditions.
The adventure begins at the herb garden, where guests are introduced to local agricultural practices with a starter of tomato jelly and cured river bream accompanied by a chikanda carpaccio and Zambian okra salad.
A golf buggy then whisks guests to the riverbank for the main course prepared by a private chef, featuring grilled Zambezi bream with tomato fondue and wilted spinach. As the sunset paints the sky, stories of the river’s lore enhance the dining experience.
Further along, guests are treated to insights into traditional Zambian farming methods and culinary techniques, enjoying beef and nshima prepared traditionally and served authentically without cutlery.
The evening caps off with dessert at a vantage point overlooking Victoria Falls. Amidst the spectacle of the cascading waters, guests can indulge in cassava cake and Mubuyu mousse, rounding out a night steeped in the locale’s history.
These bespoke dining experiences at the Royal Livingstone Hotel not only offer a taste of local culture and scenery but also promise unforgettable moments in the heart of Zambia. This luxurious retreat invites you to indulge in these exceptional culinary adventures.
