Kosher South Africa Safari and Tours.
As a consequence of a history of devotion to core Jewish principles practiced by a fairly large Jewish population, South Africa as a kosher travel destination is uniquely equipped to handle and support a kosher South Africa tour and safari.
Kosher restaurants are available in Cape Town, Durban and Johannesburg.
The world of culinary expression is best experienced in Cape Town as its a foodie city.
The growth of vegan restaurants in Cape Town has lent itself to more creative menu options for Kosher meals thereby expanding the world of Kosher cuisine and creating the opportunity to experience world cuisine options as well.
As it was reported in a CNN article in December 2021 entitled “A Jewish culinary renaissance is expanding the definition of kosher food”
With the Cape Winelands a short drive away Kosher wines are readily available in Cape Town and other parts of South Africa that are certified kosher by the Cape Town Beth-din and the Orthodox Union of the United States.
Kosher South Africa Safaris
Under the authority of the South Africa Beth Din Kashrut Supervisor a Mashgiach is appointed to ensure that all meals, drink, snacks while on Safari are fully kosher.
There is a safari lodge that has a dedicated kosher kitchen that is locked up when not in use and no Mashgiach present. Even the manager of the lodge cannot access the kitchen until the Mashgiach is present on the property.
There are options when doing a Kosher South Africa safari to go to a lodge or rent out a self catering lodging venue that offers you more privacy, both will be under a Mashgiach appointed by the South Africa Beth Din Kashrut Supervisor.
