Klein Tambotie: Our Dinokeng Restaurant at Tshikwalo Game Lodge
Our Dinokeng restaurant is open to overnight guests and day visitors.
Dining at Klein Tambotie
When you book a meal at our Dinokeng restaurant, you’re eating under a canopy of Tambotie trees on the lodge grounds.
Breakfast is cooked and served early for guests heading out on a game drive. Lunch runs at an easy pace. Dinner is full à la carte, served once the sun has dropped below the tree line.
Klein Tambotie is open six days a week, with Sunday evenings and Mondays off. Plan your meals around that if you’re staying with us over those nights.
Celebrating an anniversary or birthday? Let us know in advance and we’ll sort out personal touches like decorative settings or a small gift to mark the occasion.
