Thank you to the people at Lower Sabie for the wonderful bush braai my niece had on Wednesday evening! I really appreciate you helping me out on this one! Hopefully i will get some pics when they back from honeymoon and will post.

Can you do a self catering bush braai? We have special dietary requirements

You can do a self-catering bush braai at any picnic spot during the day. The special bush braais offered from the camps are only available catered by the restaurants in association with the camps. If you have special dietary requirements they would take these into account.

Hi there helpful Mites
I am interested to know your experiences of Bush Braais at the various camps It would be helpful for visitors staying at many camps, to know where to book a bush braai

In addition, what is the minimum number of people in a bush braai? Could two guests go on a bush braai for instance?
Thanks in advance

Best settings for Braais IMHO, Mopani, Croc Bridge, but you have to be 4 or more peeps.

Best camp for Bush Braai - Lower Sabi
worst - Skukuza

Mopani.

Berg en Dal with Raymond

Lower Sabie - with Martie!!!

Done Satara
perfect
the braai was at the Nwanetsi picnic spot
we drove the S100 up to the spot

Believe the minimum number is 6 these days
But you can also book for your own group
2 being a group

Does anyone know actually where the bush braais are held on evening drives from the Phala Gate?

I think different camps use different areas. BnD was using a site out in the bush recently, but will now use the day picnic area. I believe Lower Sabie use Mlondozi picnic area mostly. Best to ask the camp/gate for more information.

We have always wanted to do a bush braai, but the details never worked out. In November we will bringing several 1st timers to South Africa and decided to book a bush braai from Olifants camp. The booking was extremely easy. I called Olifants reception and told them the date and the number of people in our group. They added the braai to our existing reservation and everything is handled.

I then received a request from Forumite Flying Cheetah who saw that we will be in the Berg en Dal area later in the trip. He has always wanted to do a bush braai but could not get the required minimum number of people and asked if anyone from our group was interested in joining him on a braai. Of course we all agreed. I called Berg en Dal reception and again the booking was very easy.

It is a bit pricey at R490 pp, but from all that I have read, it is a small price to pay for an unforgettable experience.

I will update the thread with our experience once we return in mid-December.

Daron, from what other people say, the food is delicious and plentiful..........add that to the evening drive experience and that's got to be well worth it!!

We're hoping to do one from Phala Gate when my daughter and SO are with us.

Do all the camps offer bush braais?
