AfriCamps’ Favourite Braai Recipes

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

  1. Combine all ingredients in a jug blender and blend into a loose paste.
  2. 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!

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

  1. Combine the yoghurt, garlic, lemon juice, rosemary, smoked paprika, salt and black pepper.
  2. 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.
  3. After two days, braai the lamb over medium coals for about 30 minutes, or longer depending on your desired level of doneness.
  4. 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.
  5. 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

  1. If you have a blender handy, blitz until fine.
  2. If you’re in the great outdoors, use a mortar and pestle to mix the anchovies, garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil.

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!)

  • brown onion soup powder
  • butter
  • foil

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Cut the cabbage into large slices without slicing all the way through.

AfriCamps Klein Karoo: The perfect place to relax with your family in Oudtshoorn

africamps klein karoo oudtshoorn boutique glamping south africa tent family

Oscar, Linda, and their two kids Jonah and Milou, better known as Onze Rondreis, are making their way across South Africa. After spending 30 days exploring The Mother City and its surroundings, this travelling family set out for the N1 on a road trip to Johannesburg. Of course, a small detour to AfriCamps Klein Karoo along the way was an opportunity they could not pass up. Read all about their glamping adventure in the uniquely South African town of Oudtshoorn.

From Cape Town via the magnificent route 62, we travelled to a quiet village called Oudtshoorn. At the heart of the Klein Karoo, we stayed in a boutique glamping tent with a dam in our backyard and amazing views of the mountains. While the children went to the playground just behind the tent, we had our first drink on the deck and enjoyed the amazing sunset.

africamps klein karoo oudtshoorn glamping south africa

AfriCamps Klein Karoo is a spacious camp with 12 glamping tents, each boasting views of the dam. There is a small playground, a large pool, and a small pool for the little children. The hospitality at the camp is great! While checking in, the host gave us the tent next to the play area (a different tent than we were assigned) so that our children could visit the playground by themselves, fantastic! Small snacks and drinks are available at reception while bottled water, which you can fill up at the reception, is provided in the tent.

READ MORE: Pet-friendly glamping at AfriCamps (including Oudthoorn)

We arrived quite late and decided to have dinner at Buffelsdrift Game Lodge Restaurant, a 5-minute drive from the camp. This was also recommended by our host AfriCamps. What a great place! While eating the most delicious burger (or of course other mains), you can hear the honks of hippos. The game lodge also has three elephants (unfortunately, we didn’t get to see them). This is definitely a place you have to go when you’re staying at AfriCamps!

In Oudtshoorn, there are a lot of activities, depending on your preferences. During our stay, we went on a tour at the Safari Ostrich Farm during which we rode on a tractor with a guide. It was fun for both the children and adults and really informative. Before or after the tour you can enjoy the lovely meals while the children have fun at the playground.

READ MORE: Ostrich Farm Tour & other onsite activities

Back at the tent, our braai baskets, which we ordered at the reception, were delivered. They included lovely pieces of meat, delicious bread with garlic butter, and two different homemade salads. Of course, we also had some marshmallows for the children! When it started to get cold and late, the children fell asleep in their warm beds (preheated with electrical blankets). With a glass of wine and the wood stove on, it was the perfect end to the day. Tip: in the evenings, go outside and enjoy the darkness. There are so many stars, and if you look around with a flashlight, you might see some impalas or elands walking in front of your tent!

The next morning when we woke up, our breakfast baskets were delivered. With some bread, yoghurt, fruit, muesli, eggs, bacon, sausages, milk, and orange juice, it was a luxury to start the day!

WATCH: AfriCamps Klein Karoo Glamping Adventure in South Africa

After breakfast, we went to the Cango Caves. During an hour-and-a-half-long tour, we wandered through the caves, 600 meters deep, and visited six chambers. This tour was both informative and fun! The children could walk and explore the caves by themselves! Nice tip: don’t bring jackets, it’s warm and humid, so no need for extra clothes.

After all, we loved our visit to AfriCamps Klein Karoo, the perfect place to relax and enjoy your favourite activities.

The story behind SA’s favourite glamping brand

How did two Dutchies create South Africa’s favourite boutique camping brand? The Dutch travel magazine, Oog Voor Afrika recently interviewed AfriCamps’ co-owners Jeroen van Rootselaar and Manou Bleumink on the origins of AfriCamps and their road to success. We couldn’t keep this story from our local community, so, here it is! The story of how two Dutch entrepreneurs revolutionised glamping as we know it in South Africa.

A NEW START

After arriving in South Africa, Manou Bleumink and his girlfriend Willemijn started a homeshare B&B in their rented house to help make ends meet. The demand for student accommodation grew and so they founded Cape Town Rocks. Their successful company filled a gap in the market for the rental of beautiful apartments, houses and student rooms. This was their first encounter with the tourism industry in South Africa.

Jeroen van Rootselaar and his partner Katelijne arrived in South Africa in 2006 with two backpacks, some surf equipment and a website about internships. As a student, Jeroen completed an internship in Cape Town and fell head over heals for the city. The couple saw a gap in the market after their own internship in the Mother City and started the internship agency, 4exchange.

The two companies overlapped in the market for student housing, but after a chance meeting over a beer, Jeroen and Manou clicked instantly.

Soon we started brainstorming about starting a business together and, coincidentally we both thought of different forms of tents and camping gear. That’s how AfriCamps was founded.

africamps klein karoo oudtshoorn boutique glamping south africa

THE CHALLENGE: AFRICAMPS

Manou: ‘We both saw a glamping trend starting in Europe. At various farms and campsites, you suddenly saw cheerfully decorated “safari” tents. That was funny to see for the Dutch in South Africa because the original form of the safari tent really comes from here. The tents in Europe, with their double bedrooms, kitchen and bathroom, however, seemed more like canvas cottages suitable for the whole family. Our idea was to import the glamping trend to South Africa. We could not find local tents that met our requirements and importing tents was too expensive. We decided to buy a sewing machine and learn how to work with industrial sewing machines and canvas.

With the help of YouTube videos, we tried to familiarise ourselves with industrial sewing machines and canvas.

After eight months of designing, sewing canvas, building furniture and welding couplers, we built a life-size glamping tent in an old asbestos factory building.

Jeroen: ‘Then things went quickly. Investors picked up our plans and with their financial help we set up a production facility in Atlantis. Atlantis has a huge youth unemployment rate, so we trained young, local labourers.

On 1 November 2015, exactly two years after the purchase of our first sewing machine, we opened our first camp at one of the biggest working ostrich farms in Oudtshoorn.

Now we have eight camps at the most beautiful locations in the Western Cape. Since 1 July 2018, there is also a camp in Hazyview, Mpumalanga. All camps can be booked separately, or as a route. Our vision is that guests can experience how an authentic South African family lives in their country, while learning everything about real South African products. As an AfriCamps guest, you will meet the farm owners, become acquainted with their produce and the unique fauna and flora of the area.’

THE FUTURE

Jeroen: ‘The future of AfriCamps is bright. People show a need for meaningful travel experiences where the local people, the country and food can be experienced in an authentic way. AfriCamps offers that experience like no other. With the opening of AfriCamps at Mackers in Hazyview, Mpumalanga, we have taken the first step in our national expansion plan.’

People from Namibia, Botswana and even Zimbabwe have expressed their interest in AfriCamps. Signs are promising that we can make AfriCamps the glamping brand of Southern Africa.

What is the unforgettable memory? The wow moment?

Manou: ‘There are countless! But what really stood out was when I arrived with my family at our first camp in Oudtshoorn. We looked out over the dam and saw the tents looming in the distance under the splendour of the setting sun. An unforgettable feeling.’

Jeroen: ‘The moment our investors decided to invest a serious amount in the wild plans of two boys, a sewing machine and a self-made glamping tent. Manou and I dreamed enormously and all of a sudden there were serious entrepreneurs who dared to dream with us! I got the opportunity to start up a unique company for the second time and, once again, realized that South Africa is the country of unlimited possibilities.’

Blog post: AfriCamps at Ingwe

There are few places in South Africa that could be called paradise. One springs to mind, especially for those who are familiar with the popular resort of Plettenberg Bay. Conveniently situated only within half an hour from this town is a gem of a destination, The Crags.

(Click here to go to our camp page  in the Crags or continue reading this blog post below)

You will be almost overwhelmed with the plethora of activities, adventures and places to visit. A definite favourite for locals and tourists alike is the boutique wine estate, Bramon Wine Estate.As the first wine estate in The Crags, they pioneered vineyards with their first vines, Sauvignon Blanc, resulting in Plettenberg Bay being classified as a Wine of origin region.

Winning awards both nationally and internationally (most recently double gold in 2015), this family run estate lead to the birth of Plettenberg Bay’s own Bubbly and Wine Route

The aspiring owners Peter and Caroline Thorpe hope to create a ‘Sparkling Wine Route’ in the near future. Enjoy the restaurant uniquely set in the vineyards and gardens overlooking the Elephant Sanctuary and Tsitsikamma Mountains; or the cathedral-like cellar.

For the more adventurous, the pristine indigenous forest of AfriCamps at Ingwe offers a haven for plant, bird and animal life and is a very special location to restore your soul. Relish in a pre-hike breakfast or lunch picnic as you are guided along a hiking trail in the natural forest, hearing about the flora and fauna of the region. Or savor celebratory sundowners as part of your hike.

africamps at ingwe plettenberg bay boutique glamping south africa

The Eden to Addo Corridor, being the most bio-diverse corridor in the world, passes through a portion of the farm where AfriCamps at Ingwe is situated.

For the intrepid adventurer, the family hike with the Eco Warriors is guaranteed to quench your thirst for adventure and exploration and is also for a good cause, namely the Green Ticket

Orienteering, trail running, mountain biking and horse riding are also among the numerous activities on offer. Or plant a tree in support of the local NPO. For those wanting a restful time, soak up the tranquil sounds of nature, breath in the fresh air and enjoy the spectacular forest, mountains and calm surroundings.Discover delightful water adventures with the Keurbooms River Gorge, Bitou River & Wetland and Keurbooms Lagoon; all offering guided canoeing eco adventures. The Keurbooms River Nature Reserve is a world heritage site with sightings of ververt monkeys, blue duiker, mongoose, grysbok and the elusive leopard. This is best suited for the active traveller who loves the outdoors while having fun on the water. Each of these canoeing adventures offers something distinctive.

africamps at ingwe plettenberg bay boutique glamping south africa

Paddle on the lagoon, venture to the other side to visit Keurbooms beach or canoe to either the Bitou or Keurbooms River. In and around the lagoon there is lots of wildlife to be seen, such as flamingos, spoonbills and oyster catchers.

The Keurbooms River Gorge is one of the most beautiful in the world, with numerous secluded beaches amidst the natural forest and high gorge solid with vegetation in an untouched atmosphere

Along the way, settle on white beaches with picnic baskets, a good book and a bottle of wine; while the kids safely explore. The Bitou River section winds along a channel through a wetland system, with plenty of birdlife including South Africa’s national bird, the Blue Crane; and the African Fish Eagle. Enjoy the Keurbooms Lagoon with the beauty of Bird Island and the largest breeding colony of Kelp Gulls, amongst other bird species.

One can easily understand now why this region is named the ‘Jewel of the Garden Route’, with its splendid natural selection of beauty in its forests, beaches, lagoons and magnificent mountains.

Fishing in the dam

Last month was the start of our Snap- Share-Win photography and video competition. A competition where each month the best AfriCamps moment will win a free one-night stay for 5 persons at one of our AfriCamps farms or who would receive a R500,- cash back on their current stay.

The directions are simple.

Make the most of your time at AfriCamps Klein Karoo and send us the memory in either photo, video review or blog post. Then upload it to either our Facebook or Twitter page (tag AfriCamps in and use ‪#‎WeAreGlamping‬) or send your entry via email to hello@africamps.com.

Our first entries came in and showed us that guests were taking to the view, the relaxing atmosphere and were making us envious with their braai skills.

africamps boutique glamping south africa

Most of February had perfect skies and beautiful weather. These guests showed us that there is much more to the dam than only adding to the view, as they spent some of their time fishing.

The one thing that we have come to realize about the game on the farm is that they are not shy. These guys seem to bring out their best poses for guests, as every photo which is sent to us seems to capture their model moments perfectly.

A massive congratulations to Francisco and Sofie who are our winners for February and a big thank you to everyone who entered.

Let’s see what March has in store for us.

Ostrich Farm Tours

Ostrich farm tours are famous for this region. The tours which run at AfriCamps are headed up by Laura and her team, on one of the largest Ostrich farms in South Africa.

africamps boutique glamping south africa

We chatted to Laura to get the behind the scenes look at how it all got started and to find out a bit more about these birds.

When did you first start the Ostrich farm tours?

  • About 15 years ago, just after I met my husband.  My mom in law asked me to show her guests at the B & B she was running at the time, the farm, as I speak German and Dutch.

How many Ostriches did you start with?

  • About 1000, and we now farm with over 25 000 birds, ages ranging from one day to about 15 years’ old.
africamps boutique glamping south africa
As seen on the Ostrich farm tour

Did you name them all?

  • No, we do not have so many names, to start with……
africamps boutique glamping south africa
As seen on the Ostrich farm tour

Do you or Piet have a favourite Ostrich?

  • We had a little dwarf female that grew to about half a metre, and then stopped… But unfortunately we had to kill her when bird flu was diagnosed on our farm about 6 years ago. All the birds had to be killed then, it was a very sad day. We had to start all over again.

Can you see different personalities in these birds?

  • Ostriches are very stupid animals. Their brains weigh about 40g, compared to the eye that weighs 60g! So you can just imagine. They stress very easily and they are frightened by the slightest noise or light. When thunder strikes, the just keep running around in circles like a chicken without a head. The breeding males are very aggressive; they do not allow anyone near them.
As seen on the Ostrich farm tour
africamps boutique glamping south africa
As seen on the Ostrich farm tour

How old is the oldest Ostrich that you have?

  • Our breeding males are about 15 years old. We have one breeding pair on the farm, Jannie and Rosie, named after my mom and father in law. They are about 25 years old.

It basically says on Wikipedia that male ostriches’ have one true love. Is this true?

 “Territorial males typically boom in defence of their territory and harem of two to seven hens;[48] the successful male may then mate with several females in the area, but will only form a pair bond with a ‘major’ female.[48]”

  • Yes, they say that ostriches mate for life. We have at least 2 females to each male, and they have to stay together on the farm. After the breeding season – Aug – April – they separate the males and females. They get a 4-month holiday, during which we harvest the feathers to export to Rio for the Carnival.  Then we must make sure that the same males and females are put together again. They have tags on their necks to identify and help with this process.
africamps boutique glamping south africa

Who takes care of the ostriches?

  • Japie Potgieter has worked on the farm with us for over 13 years. He knows everything there is to know about ostriches. When to pluck, vaccinate, feed, weigh etc. How many birds at any certain time on the farm – and he is responsible for about 10 000 of these birds! He has a team of dedicated workers (not everyone on the farm knows how to work with ostriches).
