There’s something undeniably magical about dining beneath a vast African sky, surrounded by the sounds of the bush and the warmth of a crackling fire. At Intundla Game Lodge & Bush Spa, this experience isn’t just a meal — it’s a sensory journey that celebrates the rich heritage of outdoor dining, where every evening becomes an unforgettable event.

At the centre of Intundla’s culinary magic lies the Boma dinner — a cherished tradition that brings people together in a rustic, yet elegant setting. As the sun dips below the horizon, casting golden hues over the tranquil dam and the surrounding bushveld, guests gather around a roaring fire in our traditional boma. The scent of grilled meats, fragrant spices, and freshly baked breads fills the air, promising a feast that’s as indulgent as it is authentic.

The Boma experience is about more than just dining — it’s about connection. The circular enclosure, lit by firelight and lanterns, creates an intimate atmosphere where conversations flow as freely as the fine South African wines on offer. Whether you’re here for a romantic getaway, a corporate team-building retreat, or a celebratory event, the Boma setting encourages relaxation, storytelling, and camaraderie.

At Intundla, we believe that food tastes better outdoors — and our chefs make sure that every dish lives up to the breathtaking surroundings. Our bush dining menus feature a fusion of traditional South African flavours and modern culinary techniques, offering everything from succulent braai meats and grilled game to vibrant salads, homemade potjies, and decadent desserts.

Imagine savouring tender lamb chops, flame-grilled to perfection, or tasting a rich oxtail potjie that’s been slow-cooked over the fire for hours — all while a gentle breeze rustles through the trees and the distant call of a jackal echoes across the valley. It’s a sensory feast that goes beyond taste, immersing you in the essence of the African wilderness.

The Boma at Intundla isn’t just for casual dining — it’s also a spectacular venue for events. From intimate birthday celebrations to grand corporate functions, the lodge’s team expertly curates evenings that impress and inspire. Picture a product launch where guests sip cocktails under the Milky Way, or a year-end function where laughter and live music fill the night air. Every detail, from the table settings to the bonfire, is thoughtfully designed to create a seamless blend of elegance and adventure.

For companies seeking to elevate their conference or team-building getaway, a Boma dinner offers the perfect conclusion to a productive day. After brainstorming sessions and outdoor challenges, teams can unwind with good food, great company, and the captivating ambiance of the bushveld — fostering camaraderie in a way that a traditional banquet hall never could.

What sets Intundla Game Lodge & Bush Spa apart is the ability to craft not just a meal, but an experience. As the flames dance and the stars emerge in the ink-black sky, there’s a palpable sense of being part of something timeless — a gathering around the fire, sharing food, stories, and laughter, just as people have done in Africa for centuries.

Whether you’re a nature lover, a foodie, or someone simply seeking a break from the ordinary, our bush dining and firelit evenings offer a culinary adventure like no other. Come and experience the enchantment of Intundla, where every dinner under the stars becomes a cherished memory.
