    Firstly, I want to commend the staff on their very attentive service - absolutely no problems there. Overall, the food was OK - nothing awful but certainly not great. The mussel pot was really just a bowl of cream with some mussels in, not really seasoned and a bit sickly. The fish pate was quite sweet - again, not bad but not great. We had a meat sharing platter for our main - it was always going to be a bit of a challenge as we like our meats cooked differently, but agreed on medium rare as a compromise. Unfortunately, it was all cooked rare, which meant it needed to go back for extra cooking which left it a bit tough. Again, everything was also a bit under-seasoned which didn’t help. So, sadly, not the best experience despite our high hopes, but certainly not terrible and the staff really did their best to make things right.

    Karibu Restaurant is a fantastic choice for South African Cuisine! I came with a group of 20 (pre-reserved) and because we were a big group, we needed to choose from a set menu. The set menu options had all choices, good for the seafood lovers, meat lovers, local (ostrich), and vegetarian. All clients enjoyed the meal and the ambiance of the restaurant.

    Fish was overdone and chicken curry needed help. Chicken salad and chicken schnitzel was good.

    We chose an African restaurant for our last night on the continent. This place offers dishes you don’t find in the UK, springbok, kudu etc, all served generously and imaginatively. We loved it there
