Pronounced “bry”, a braai is the Afrikaans word for barbecue. There’s no better way to spend a few hours at lunchtime or in the evening around a braai-fire sampling South African delicacies such as springbok, kudu or ostrich steaks, boerewors (farm sausage) and chicken kebabs, along with mielies (corn) and roasted butternut and potatoes, while sampling fine South African wines and beers, brandewyn (brandy) and cane spirit, with home-grown music playing in the background, and koeksusters and melktert (traditional South African desserts) to round off the meal.

The ideal number of visitors per braai is 20, with 10 friendly Durbanites on hand to answer all your questions. Should your party be less than 20 persons, then we will combine you with other smaller parties. Every visitor attending a braai evening will receive a bottle of South African wine to take away with them after the event.

Durban has a large Indian population, very proud of their origins and their culture. Experience true Indian cuisine at one of our “Taste of India” evenings, with Durban specialities such as samoosas and chilibites for starters, a selection of curries and vegetables for main course, with naan and roti on the side, then a selection of Indian sweetmeats for dessert, along with South African beverages.
An Indian music and dance troupe will provide the night’s entertainment.

All ladies will get their hands painted by a renowned mendhi artist, part of the true Indian experience. (Mendhi, sometimes spelt mehndi, is a temporary form of skin decoration, and lasts up to one week before fading completely)
The same numbers apply as per the braai evening above.

A Zulu family will be your hosts for this once-in-a-lifetime experience, where you’ll be able to feast on traditionally-prepared delicacies, while a Zulu dance troupe will delight you with their amazing rhythms and frenzied movement. Join in the dancing, and impress your friends when you return home with your new-found talents. Taste the traditional Zulu beer, served from a gourd during your welcoming ceremony, a must for all visitors to our Kingdom!

Every visitor attending “A Night in Africa” will receive a Zulu beaded souvenir as a gift. The same numbers apply as per the braai evening above.
