Kosher Food
Kosher food in Africa is certified by the Beth Din of South Africa which is the Jewish religious court responsible for ensuring that food and other products meet the standards of Jewish dietary laws.
Stainless steel pots and pans are boiled and torched clean between each meal or for a nominal fee new pots, pans, plates, and cutlery/flatware will be supplied and be inspected by you when you check into the safari lodge or camp, or if you prefer you can bring in your own pots & pans. After every use, they are washed in a special designated area. During your stay, you are more than welcome to inspect the kitchen to ensure you are pleased with how your meals are being prepared.
Deluxe Option
At our approved Kosher Safari Lodges, Pareve meals will be prepared fresh on-site by chefs who have been trained in kosher catering, and at your request, kosher milk products as well as kosher meat from a Mehadrin Commission Kosher Butchery will be brought in.
Private & Exclusive
A Mashgiach who is Shomer Shabbat and has completed the Mashgiach kashrut course will be flown into the safari lodge. If the lodge doesn't have a dedicated kosher kitchen, he will set up a temporary separated kitchen with new cooking utensils & equipment as well as import the Kosher approved ingredients including Chalav Yisrael & Mehadrin meat as well as shabbos candles and fragrance for havdalah. He will supervise all the cooking.
If needed we can also get a private Jewish Kosher chef from a recognized kashrut authority to accompany him. Both of them are very involved in the Jewish community in South Africa and work with full permission of their overseeing Rabbi
