Bush Breakfast on safari

Among the many safaris I have embarked on, one particular event stood out the most. bush breakfast! Bush breakfast is a classic safari highlight, one that should not be missed.

Imagine this: a steaming cup of tea wakes you gently as the first light paints the sky. You embark on an exciting game drive, perfectly timed to maximize your chances of encountering the magnificent Big Five – elephants, rhinos, lions, leopards, and buffalos.
While you’re off on your adventure, your hotel/lodge’s dedicated hospitality team will be one step ahead.

They’ll arrive at a picturesque breakfast spot, transforming it into a haven with tables, chairs, a crackling campfire, and a charming “bush kitchen.” Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted with a refreshing glass of sparkling wine and zesty orange juice. Take a seat and savor a full English breakfast unlike any other, surrounded by breathtaking scenery. The chef will be on hand to cook your favorite combination of sausages, bacon, eggs, tomatoes, and toast to perfection.

For an unforgettable touch, live music can be arranged to enhance the ambience. After a delightful breakfast, another game drive awaits, taking you back to the lodge with lasting memories.

Two destinations provided the most amazing bush breakfast experience.

Serengeti National Park (Bush breakfast with Serengeti Balloon safaris)

The Balloon Safari

Balloon Safaris in Serengeti usually require very early morning set off. The location of your lodge from the balloon safaris set off point will determine how early you will be required to wake up. Every visitor is expected to be at the balloon safari set off point by 5:30am. The Balloon safari offers a unique and breathtaking perspective on a safari adventure. It is the most iconic safari you will ever have.

In a Balloon safari, you gently drift above the vast expanse of the savanna or lush grasslands at sunrise. In a hot air balloon, you’ll have a 360-degree view that lets you appreciate the scale and untamed beauty of the African wilderness in a way that’s simply impossible from a jeep or safari van. You can spot animals roaming freely across the plains, rivers snaking through the landscape, and distant mountains framing the scene.

Unlike a traditional safari van, a hot air balloon ride is incredibly silent. The only sounds you’re likely to hear are the gentle whoosh of the burner and the calls of the wildlife below. This peaceful atmosphere allows you to be fully immersed in the sights and sounds of nature, creating a truly magical experience.

While you won’t be right next to the animals on a balloon safari, you might get a whole new perspective on them. Soaring above the treetops can give you a chance to spot herds of animals grazing peacefully below or even witness predator-prey interactions unfold from a safe distance.

Balloon safaris typically take place early in the morning, allowing you to witness the sunrise as you ascend. The combination of the rising sun painting the sky with vibrant colors and the vastness of the landscape stretching out beneath you is truly awe-inspiring. Some locations even offer sunset rides, where you can enjoy the golden light bathing the savanna in a warm glow.

A hot air balloon safari is a luxurious way to experience a safari. The basket typically holds a small group of people, ensuring a more intimate and personalized experience. Some safaris even include champagne or breakfast served in the air, making it an unforgettable memory.

Murchison Falls National Park (Breakfast at the Top of the Falls)

Apart from Serengeti Bush breakfast, the other out of this world breakfast I have had the pleasure to witness is breakfast at the Top of the Falls in Murchison Falls National Park.

Imagine this: Murchison Falls roars in the distance, its spray creating a refreshing mist that dances in the morning sunlight. You arrive at a viewpoint overlooking this awe-inspiring spectacle, not just for any breakfast, but for a feast fit for royalty amidst the untamed beauty of Africa.

Forget crowded hotel dining rooms. Here, your table awaits at the top of the falls, offering a panoramic vista unlike any other. As you sip your coffee or tea, the thunderous cascade becomes the soundtrack to your meal, a constant reminder of the power and grandeur of nature.

This isn’t your average breakfast. Having a meal set up specifically for you at this iconic location creates a sense of exclusivity and adventure. You’ll feel like you’ve discovered a hidden gem, a secret spot reserved for those who appreciate the finer things in life, combined with a touch of exploration.

A breakfast at the top of Murchison Falls is more than just sustenance. It’s an experience. It’s a chance to create lasting memories, to capture photos that will be the envy of your friends back home, and to tell stories that will be cherished for years to come.
