Taste Namibia's diverse flavors, from game meats to coastal seafood.
From the arid landscapes to the coastal towns, Namibia's food scene is as diverse as its geography, offering an authentic taste of the country's culture on your Namibia Safari Tours.
Meat and seafood
Namibian cuisine is a paradise for meat lovers, with game meat being a staple. Savor specialties like biltong (dried, seasoned meat), venison, and the traditional braai (barbecue).
The coastal town of Swakopmund is renowned for its fresh Atlantic seafood. Feast on line-caught fish, oysters, and rock lobster, reflecting the bounty of the cold Benguela Current.
Farm Fresh
Inland, the fertile lands contribute farm-to-table vegetables and fruits. Markets are teeming with organic produce, offering a taste of the local agriculture. Indigenous ingredients like marula and Kalahari truffles are foraged seasonally, adding unique flavors to dishes.
German Influence
The German colonial past has left its mark on Namibian cuisine. Enjoy hearty portions of schnitzels, sausages, and freshly baked bread and pastries. For dessert, taste the German-influenced pastries or a slice of melktert (milk tart), a sweet conclusion to any meal.
Local Brews
Quench your thirst with Namibia's award-winning beers, thanks to its German brewing heritage. Don't miss out on a cold Windhoek Lager or a craft beer from a local brewery.
Street Eats
Street food stalls offer cheap, cheerful bites such as fat cakes (fried dough) and kapana (grilled meat), perfect for on-the-go snacking.
