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.

Where to go on Safari?

Since we custom design according to what you want we can create most if not all of the trips we have on the site as a Kosher Safari and Tour ensuring that

• Sabbath’s are scheduled in the major cities.
• 3 Minyonim Daily are scheduled into the tour activities.
• 3 kosher meals daily
• If requested Shiurim with local rabbis can be arranged.

White Lion Timbivati South Africa Safari

Generally Cape Town and a South Africa Safari make up the basic components for a South Africa tour and Safari.

For the safari portion once we know the ages of the kids we will try find a Safari lodge that has a kids safari program and that will accommodate the dietary food requirement’s.

Specialized photographic safaris ca be arranged for the serious photographer.

Walking safaris and or birding safaris can be combined in as well.

Passover Tours  These are especially popular and its recommended to book way in advance.

The hotel we use in Cape Town is a short few minutes to the local shul, a minutes walk to the ocean promenade with its wide open lawn space and playgrounds for families to spend together and for kids to let of some energy.

The Kosher facilities at this hotel includes two separate Kosher kitchens, one meat and one dairy, which are under the supervision of the Cape Town Beth Din.

We offer expanded options for some of the more popular tours such as in Cape Town for the Table Mountain trip.

If  your travel party has some folks who like to walk we can arrange a guide or I will do it to walk up Table Mountain.

It takes about 90 to 120 minutes and its best done early in the morning meet the others on top and then take the cable car down.

For the scenic Cape Point Tour if part of the group wants to bike in the reserve, it has some free ranging grazing antelope and baboons we can organize that.

Another variation is to use a side car motorcycle tour for part of the tour.

In the Cape winelands we can go to a winery that has specialized dark chocolate to pair with kosher wines as well as kosher wines. They have juice sampling for the none drinkers.

Victoria Falls and a visit to Chobe National park Botswana is a great combination when added to Cape Town and a South Africa Safari due to the diverse eco systems of a land safari in South Africa and water focused safari in Botswana.
