Cape Town, South Africa

African Dinner & Drumming

Authentic Tasting Menu and Live Performance Enjoy an immersive experience of African music, dance, storytelling and cuisine in the heart of Cape Town. Head to an African restaurant where you will be welcomed by a griot , or West African praise singer, and live djembe drumming with a Malian Bamana puppet show: an ancient traditional art using brightly colored masks and dolls made of wood and metal. After the opportunity to participate yourself, you will be served a tasting menu of 14 seasonal, authentic African dishes. African meals are traditionally served family style, with a sumptuous feast that is designed to be shared. While you dine, you will learn about each dish's country of origin and the cooking techniques and spices used to prepare them. Throughout your meal you will see interpretive dances performed in colorful costumes to live music bringing classic African stories to life. Then, transfer back to the pier. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines.
