Owning a breath-taking view of the Klein Drakensberg mountains, the alfresco restaurant that operates from the decked terrace at the Khaya Ndlovu Safari Manor is the perfect spot to enjoy a delicious meal, high-tea, tapas, or sundowner. In fact, it is beyond compare!

The dining area overlooks a wetland that serves as a natural playground for many bird and game species, and it is not unusual for a visit to the restaurant to turn into an exciting game viewing experience. However, the territorial leopard tom, Xivati that reigns supreme at Khaya Ndlovu is inclined to disrupt the easy ambiance more than necessary, when he stops over for his version of a sundowner!

In addition to the delicious cuisine on offer, it is also about taking advantage of the beautiful lowveld weather, the peace and tranquility of the lush Khaya Ndlovu garden, the sparkling infinity pool and the romance of the filtered, shifting light that seeps onto the deck through the overhanging branches of the Marula and Wild Pear trees.
Chef Garth nails the classics, such as prime rib on the steak or roasted pork belly with crispy crackling and throws an astonishing twist on his desserts with favourites like bacon or burned butter ice cream, all served with equal measures of bliss, by a friendly and enthusiastic group of waitstaff.
