Formal Dining:

Meals can be enjoyed in our sophisticated dining room, which is attached to the bar and formal lounge and overlooks the lush rolling gardens. For larger groups, a separate private formal dining room is available, which houses a single large oak table seating up to 36 people comfortably.

 Waterfall Dining:

The incredible four-storey waterfall, which is within walking distance of the lodge, is a secluded and romantic spot at which we can arrange an unforgettable dining experience. A wonderful choice for a surprise engagement or a special celebration.

 Picnics:

Ever popular with families who visit us, our picnics are a hit with children and can be set up in various locations around the lush lodge gardens. Our picnics run throughout the year and are weather dependent on the day.

Private Dining:

Guests are always invited to join us for meals in the spacious dining room or gazebo at the main lodge, but there is the option for more private dining in the open-air dining area of your villa. Each of our 6 villas features a private dining area on the covered patio, which seats up to 8 guests comfortably. Meals are prepared by our in-house chef and can be tailored to your tastes and dietary requirements.

 Amphitheatre Dinners:

For a special occasion, you might opt for an atmospheric dinner in the lantern-lit Amphitheatre at Lejwe La Metsi. Eroded over thousands of years by the rain, a natural boma has been carved out of the rock creating a natural ‘dining room’ under the stars. Eating surrounded by dramatic rock formations, illuminated only with paraffin lanterns and fire baskets is a wonderful way to spend an evening with family and friends at Lejwe La Metsi.
