At Duba Plains Camp, located on the 33,000-acre Duba Plains reserve in Botswana, one of the most often-asked questions post-suppertime is ‘how do we make this at home?’. Thanks to the new ‘Interactive Kitchen’ experience, guests need wonder no more!

Buckle up for a Bush Breakfast at ol Donyo Lodge, Kenya
Serenely located in the Chyulu Hills, in the shadow of Mount Kilimanjaro, privacy is guaranteed at ol Donyo Lodge in Kenya. Home to an impressive stable of 20 horses, the lodge offers the unique opportunity to swap the rumble of the engine for the sound of hooves on the grassy plains. The most exhilarating way to start one’s day at ol Donyo is with breakfast in the bush by horseback! Here, guests will ride through the bush – spotting giraffes and cheetah as they go – before arriving at a delicious breakfast set up, accompanied by birdsong, under the shade of an acacia tree. This breakfast may be far from camp but the team doesn’t leave anything behind, with freshly baked goods, a hot breakfast, and fresh fruit-a-plenty making for a morning to remember!

Here, they will watch over the watering hole, truly immersed in the wild where the options for sightings are endless. Diners might be accompanied by giraffes bending awkwardly for their midday drink, resident elephant herds, wildebeest, and more. Recent guests even had the honor of seeing cheetahs with cubs as they tucked into their cheese boards!
