Lakeside Dining

Where You Eat Is The Point

At the heart of Jozini Tiger Lodge & Spa is an open plan restaurant set inside a wraparound viewing deck, with floor to ceiling views over the water. Breakfast is included in the rate and is the easiest meal of the day to linger over. Through the rest of the day the kitchen runs generous buffets alongside a la carte, leaning on local flavours and what is in season.

In the evening things move outside. The deck is the sundowner spot, and the boma is set up for groups around a fire pit, with a full bar, braai and buffet area and the dam wall in the dark beyond it.

Dining

Open Plan, Wrapped In A Viewing Deck

The restaurant is stand alone and the extensive menu is matched by the views and the service. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are all served here, buffet or a la carte depending on the day and the group. Indoor tables sit under the thatch; the deck runs right around the outside for anyone who wants the sun.

The Bar and Viewing Deck

Hours: 9:00 am – 16:00pm

Drinks

Sundowners Above The
Dam Wall

The bar serves through the day and the outdoor deck is where the evening happens. After a day on the water it is the obvious place to end up, with the light going soft over the lake and the Lebombo Mountains behind it.
