Kosher Dining on Safari

Finding a suitable vacation spot if you are Jewish can be a challenge.

With so many of our guests looking for a kosher offering, our Lion Sands Game Reserve team decided to create a bespoke solution that caters for different levels of observance. We take care of 'the detail' so that you can fully relax and enjoy your stay.

For strictly kosher guests, we arrange for a Mashgiach to travel to the lodge to kasher a designated kitchen. He then remains on-site throughout your stay, to supervise all meals prepared by our chef.

Meal service and kitchen cleaning are carried out in accordance with kosher principles. We utilise crockery and cutlery that is only used for kosher catering. If you prefer, good-quality, single-use sets are available at a small surcharge.

Stainless steel pots and pans are boiled and torched clean between meals. New sets, kept in their packaging, are also available at a small surcharge.

If you would like a Jewish chef to prepare your meals, we will gladly arrange for someone to be brought in with the Mashgiach.

These kosher dining options are available to guests staying at Ivory Lodge (excluding the Fish Eagle Villa).

For guests staying at Ivory Lodge's Fish Eagle and Lion Sands River Lodge, we offer a self-supervised kosher offering. Kosher meals are freshly prepared on-site in dedicated areas of River Lodge’s main kitchen and in the private kitchen of Fish Eagle Villa, which can be inspected and supervised by our guests.

Meal service and kitchen cleaning are carried out in accordance with kosher principles, and include the usage of stainless steel pots and pans, and crockery and cutlery dedicated solely to kosher catering. 

Pots are boiled and torched between meals. If guests prefer, good-quality, single-use sets are available at a small surcharge.

Guests can also specify whether they would prefer Mehadrin Commission Meat and Cholov Yisroel dairy products, as well as any other dietary requirements.

So, if you’d like to remove the ‘kvetching’ and stress from going on safari, give us a shout on concierge@more.co.za
