What health and safety precautions should I take.
Please let African Eye know in advance if you are traveling with any dietary restrictions or medical conditions that we may need to be aware of.

Our menus are designed to satisfy the most adventures and also the most conservative pallets. Our buffets always consist of a salad-building station, rice and vegan, Brazilian style beans, vegan and gluten-free lentils, a vegan or vegetarian carbohydrate such as pasta or potato-dish, and one light and one dark meat dish. Additional cuisine will be available for variety, however you can count on us always having an option you like.
