For a breathtaking dining experience under the starlit sky, a traditional South African barbeque (braai) is served at Embers, a unique outdoor setting within the reserve.
A wonderful addition to the Bushmans Kloof dining experience, Embers is built into a natural ancient sandstone amphitheatre of giant boulders overlooking dramatic cliffs and valleys, and lit up by a roaring fire and hundreds of candles and lanterns. Diners are spoilt for choice with a South African salad buffet and homebaked breads, a choice of grills which includes Karoo lamb, traditional boerewors sausage, succulent steaks and chicken kebabs, and of course delectable desserts.

Example of a Typical South African Braai:
A South African braaivleis is characterized by an abundance of red meat, cooked on an open fire so that the taste is magnified and coated with the delicious flavour of open coals. Most notably the hub of the braaivleis is the traditional Afrikaner boerewors (farmers sausage), a deliciously moist, spicy, fatty sausage and also 'chops' otherwise known as lamb and beef cutlets and thick beef and lamb steaks. An influence from the Cape's Malay heritage is the sosatie, a mouth-wateringly spicy kebab of skewered meat pieces interspersed with onion and red peppers delicately eaten off a wooden stick, while the sauce runs down your hands. These uniquely South African concoctions have become an essential ingredient of the braaivleis experience here.
The meat is savoured together with a home-brewed tomato bredie - a delicious authentic stew made primarily of tomatoes and onions stir-fried over an open fire. Then a dollop of pap (a porridge cooked until it is paste-like and firm) is added to your plate, over which the delicious bredie is spooned, creating a truly authentic South African food experience.
