If there’s one thing we love as much as glamping, it’s the delicious food we enjoy while doing it! Our lives and adventures revolve around food, and at AfriCamps, we know there’s no better celebration of food (and life) than when the fires are lit, sides are prepped, and the only thing left to do is BRAAI.
Every year on 24 September, we celebrate Heritage Day in South Africa. The braai has become synonymous with our country’s heritage, giving rise to Braai Day in 2005. But make no mistake – South Africans don’t need a reason to light the fires. With thousands standing by with their braai spice in hand every weekend, we’re sharing some of our favourite glamping-friendly recipes.
Suggested by AfriCamps camp owners from across South Africa, each recipe brings something special to the table, whether you’re enjoying them at your favourite AfriCamps location or home.
African Cape Malay Marinade
AFRICAMPS AT DOOLHOF, WELLINGTON
The Doolhof Team believes a braai can’t go wrong if it’s served with “wine, wine, wine!” However, a good marinade can make or break your braai. Try their African Cape Malay Marinade recipe with fish or meat.
INGREDIENTS
2 tbsp cumin seeds, paprika, ground coriander
1 tsp each of thyme leaves and rosemary
3 crushed garlic cloves
zest and juice of 1 lemon
50g fresh coriander
2 tsp plain feta
1 tsp salt
100ml olive oil
100ml sunflower oil
INSTRUCTIONS
Combine all ingredients in a jug blender and blend into a loose paste.
Pour half of the marinade over your meat 30 minutes before the braai and use the remaining marinade for basting as you braai.
Important tips:
Don’t marinate for longer than 30 minutes as the salt and lemon may overpower the meat.
Spices like heat!
Just before the meat is done, baste it one more time.
Remember to take credit for the marinade!

Karoo Lamb Chop Marinade
AFRICAMPS AT KAROO 1, HEX VALLEY

Add your chops, seal the bag and massage the marinade into the lamb.
Refrigerate for about 1 to 2 hours, or overnight for maximum flavour.
Preheat your braai or grill to medium-high heat.
Grill the chops for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the lamb is cooked through and slightly charred. Be careful not to overcook.

1/2 Chopped Onion
2 Cloves of Garlic
1 tbsp Butter
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1/4 Cup Crumbled Feta Cheese
Fresh Herbs
INSTRUCTIONS
Cut the butternut in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds.
Melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened.
Add the spinach and cook until wilted. Squeeze out any excess water.
Stir in the lemon juice and feta cheese.

Greek-style Leg of Lamb
AFRICAMPS AT PAT BUSCH, ROBERTSON
Lindi and Stephen Busch, the owners of AfriCamps at Pat Busch, share their go-to recipe: Greek-style leg of lamb inspired by Justin Bonello. With a symphony of herbs, this dish will transport you straight to the mountaintop.
INGREDIENTS
Lamb
2.5kg deboned leg of lamb
500ml Bulgarian yoghurt
6 cloves of finely chopped Crushed Garlic
3 Lemons
A Small Handful of Finely Chopped Rosemary
A Couple of Pinches of Smoked Paprika
Salt and Cracked Black Pepper
Vinaigrette
4 Brown Anchovies
A Drizzle of Olive Oil
A Clove of Garlic
Half Squeezed Lemon
INSTRUCTIONS
Lamb
Combine the yoghurt, garlic, lemon juice, rosemary, smoked paprika, salt and black pepper.
Using a sharp knife, make several small holes in the leg of lamb and rub the marinade all over. Cover with cling wrap and refrigerate for two days.
After two days, braai the lamb over medium coals for about 30 minutes, or longer depending on your desired level of doneness.
Baste the lamb with the leftover marinade periodically. You want the lamb to caramelise on the outside, and be cooked, but still pink, on the inside.
Once done, remove the heat, put the lamb aside to rest and rustle up a quick vinaigrette, which will break down the fattiness of the meat.
Vinaigrette
If you have a blender handy, blitz until fine.
If you’re in the great outdoors, use a mortar and pestle to mix the anchovies, garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil.
Three-cheese Braaibroodjie
AFRICAMPS AT KAM’BATI, SWELLENDAM
A braai is not a braai without a traditional braaibroodjie! Jaco and Dene Badenhorst, camp owners of AfriCamps at Kam’Bati, suggest pairing your steak with their delicious three-cheese braaibroodjie (Afrikaans for ‘barbecue sandwich’).

Ostrich Biltong Potjie
AFRICAMPS KLEIN KAROO, OUDTSHOORN
This uniquely South African dish comes highly recommended by AfriCamps Klein Karoo owners, Arnold and Esti-Mari. It’s a perfect combination of a gamey taste and a smokey, rich favour.

Rump Tail
AFRICAMPS AT OAKHURST, WILDERNESS
Jake and Claire Crowther, the owners of AfriCamps at Oakhurst, recommend trying the rump tail. This cut, also known as Pichana, is a South American speciality that’s best cooked over a very hot fire to sear the outside and quickly braai the meat. It’s perfect as a flavourful starter!
INGREDIENTS
Rump Steak
Olive Oil
Braai Salt Rub
Course Salt
INSTRUCTIONS
Coat the rump steak on both sides with olive oil and a generous amount of braai salt rub (to taste), and do not remove the fat layer as it is a healthy fat and this is where the tremendous flavour comes from.
Place the steak on a braai grid on a very hot fire. Braai for a few quick minutes on each side, until it’s nicely seared and slightly charred.
Remove the steak from the braai and let it rest on a cutting board for a few minutes. Then, slice it into thin 5mm slices.
Sprinkle the sliced steak with a twist of course salt, to taste, and serve immediately as a starter.
Stuffed Kudu Backstrap
AFRICAMPS ADDO, EASTERN CAPE

Slice the kudu backstrap in the middle and fill with the filling.
Wrap the filet with streaky bacon and secure it with toothpicks.
Cabbage on the Coals
AFRICAMPS AT GOWAN VALLEY, THE MIDLANDS
This cabbage recipe from AfriCamps at Gowan Valley has come a long way. Many years ago, Brett, the camp owner at Gowan Valley, and Jake Crowther, the owner of Oakhurst, were touring through Africa. Upon arriving at a farmer’s house, they wanted to impress the farmer’s three beautiful daughters by contributing something to the braai. Their choice? A cabbage! And so, this simple recipe was born. (Tip: Kids will love this veggie, especially if it’s followed by braaied marshmallows!)
INGREDIENTS
1 whole cabbage
brown onion soup powder
butter
foil
INSTRUCTIONS
Cut the cabbage into large slices without slicing all the way through.
Sprinkle brown onion soup and butter between the slices, cover with foil, and braai for 45 to 60 minutes, turning occasionally.
Venison Sirloin
AFRICAMPS AT WHITE ELEPHANT SAFARIS, PONGOLA GAME RESERVE
Dr Heinz and Debbie Kohrs, camp owners of AfriCamps at White Elephant Safaris, bring a taste of the African bush to your table with their venison sirloin recipe. This dish only requires five ingredients and pairs perfectly with a traditional chakalaka game braai wors and a glass of delectable red wine for a truly authentic South African experience.
INGREDIENTS
Olive Oil
Balsamic Vinegar
Fresh Lemon
Ina Paarman Garlic Pepper Spice
400g Venison Sirloin (Kudu or Wildebeest)
INSTRUCTIONS
Pour into a shallow dish and combine a large glug of olive oil and balsamic vinegar, a squeeze of lemon juice and a good sprinkle of garlic pepper.
Lay the venison sirloin in the marinade, ensuring it’s well-coated on all sides. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, turning it occasionally.
Braai the venison sirloin slowly over hot bushveld wood coals (knob thorn or sickle bush wood).
Remember that venison is lean, so medium-rare is the ideal cooking temperature to prevent it from drying out.
After braaing, let the venison rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin medallions.
Sweet Simple S’mores
AFRICAMPS AT MACKERS, HAZYVIEW
Michelle and Ryan, the camp owners from AfriCamps at Mackers, have a sweet and nostalgic treat that’s sure to be a hit. Their s’more recipe only requires two ingredients and is a favourite among little explorers and adults alike.
INGREDIENTS
Caramel Marie Biscuits
marshmallows
INSTRUCTIONS
Toast the marshmallows over an open flame until they’re golden brown and gooey.
Place them between two biscuits, gently squeeze them together to spread the marshmallow, and let them cool slightly before taking a bite.
Brush the steaks with oil and season generously with Robertsons Braai & Grill Spicy BBQ.
Place on a grid over hot coals and braai for just long enough to brown the meat on all sides.
Place a big heat-safe or cast-iron pan on the grid.
Add the butter and Dijon mustard. Place the steaks in the pan and coat them well with the butter mixture.
Cook the steaks in the pan until done to your liking.
Salad
Add beetroot to a large pot, cover with water and bring to a boil then reduce to simmer until soft.
Drain the beetroot and place them aside to cool, then peel and slice for later use.
In one medium-sized bowl, add beetroot, red onion, olives, feta cheese (crumble) mint and Knorr Moringa dressing, mix well and serve.
Succulent Halloumi and Veggie Skewers
AFRICAMPS WATERBERG, LIMPOPO
Juliet and Dr Philip Calcott, the camp owners of AfriCamps Waterberg, share their vegetarian-friendly recipe for succulent halloumi and veg skewers. This flavourful and easy-to-make dish is perfect as a starter or a side dish, and it’s sure to please everyone at the table.
INGREDIENTS
1 Pack Braai Halloumi
Onion or Red Peppers (Optional)
1 Punnet of Button Mushrooms
1 Pack of Cherry Tomatoes
Crushed Garlic
Olive Oil
Braai Skewers
INSTRUCTIONS
Cut 2 cm cubes of halloumi, and if the mushrooms are big cut them in half, otherwise use them whole.
If adding onions or peppers, cut these into similar-sized chunks to the halloumi.
Thread alternate chunks of your ingredients onto the skewers.
Brush the skewers with a mixture of olive oil and crushed garlic.
Braai the skewers until browned, being careful not to burn the ingredients or let the cheese melt and drop off.
For added protection, you can place some tin foil on the braai to prevent items from falling off the skewers.
These skewers are perfect as a starter or a side dish to accompany your main course. Enjoy them with a refreshing salad and a glass of South African wine.
