Kilima Game Lodge and Spa offers families the complete package for families to come and enjoy the ulitmate bush experience. Since today we live in an extreme modern enivorment returning to our roots is just what the doctor ordered. Spending time together as a family is very important and here at Kilima Prinvate Game Reserve and Spal is one of our most important missions.

A male lion roar can be heard up to 8 kilometers, it's a sound that makes you shake in your boots. The sound wave of a lion roar can let your hair rise up, your blood run cold and it awakens something in your soul. The lion is the second largest cat on earth after the tiger and these masters of the bushveld are not called "The King of the Jungle" without good measure. Here at Kilima Game Lodge and Spa in Limpopo the king along with his queen and followers rules his kingdom.

Sunland Baobab are found Kilima Private Game Reserve. An African icon that is the giants of the plains, they stand out on the horizon and have been the masters of survival.

This dish is easy to make and can be made in just a few minutes.

It is also very light and can work as a cold starter or as a canapé with cocktails.

Cheesecake is a wonderful dessert and tea time tart to enjoy. Lemon Cheesecake with berries and rum coulis are a popular dessert choice here at Kilima Game Lodge. And it is easy to make.

The only reason why I like summer is because of the fruit that is in season. 3 of my favourite fruits are Watermelon, Mangoes and Litchis and what better way to use them than in cocktails.

Here are three Recipes using these fruit.

Watermelon and Tequila Cocktail
Mango Martini
Litchi and Mint Fizz

Chocolate are a favourite for almost everyone and lots of different things have been mixed with chocolate. Nuts, raisins, mint, tropical fruit and even alcohol like rum and whiskey has been added in the past. Chili is not new to this, the heat in that is just enough as it really enhances the flavour of the chocolate.

Today I share a recipe with you that will have your dinner guests talking.

When going on a safari holiday in South Africa, one of the common yet still magnificent mammals you will come across is the giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalus). The giraffe stands between 3.5 and 5.5m high, weighs between 700 and 1400kg, with the average lifespan of 25 years.

At Kilima Private Game Reserve & Spa, on the 5th of July 2013, four of the gigantic graceful creatures visited the waterhole out onto which the lodge looks. Due to giraffes being browsers, they obtain moisture from the green leaves they eat and therefore will drink water every 2 to 3 days. The giraffe's brain can sit at about 5m above ground level and is situated about 2m away from the heart. When drinking water, they bend down and thus have specialised systems to control the blood flow to the brain preventing a huge head rush. These systems are found in the neck in the form of well adapted valves and networks of small capillaries that dilate and constrict to control blood flow to the brain.
