Old Canvas Expeditions
Specialist African Safaris - More than just a game drive

CULINARY ADVENTURES IN THE BUSH

Megan Harker left a successful career in corporate sales and marketing and now devotes her attention to her lifelong passion of cooking and natural flair for entertaining. With years of experience in the food industry and a sound culinary knowledge, she brings a fresh approach to cooking classes and team building events.

Megan's straight forward approach to cooking delivered with enthusiasm and commitment to making simple and delicious food, ensures guests leave her classes excited about the delicious food they've prepared and eager to re create dishes for friends and family.

Participants are never taken out of their comfort zone or feel threatened in any way. Our epicurean adventures are designed for those who have a passion for cooking but aren't professional chefs. We show you how every day meals and recreational cooking can be easy, delicious and presented in a gourmet style, and all of this in the bush!

We run our cooking safaris in the Bonamanzi Game Reserve. Set in a 4000 Ha, privately owned game reserve in the heart of Zululand, and bordered by the World Heritage Site of Isimangaliso to the east and Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Game Reserve a short drive to the west, it is the perfect place to learn to cook and enjoy the pleasure of being disconnected from our frenetic daily schedules. For a map of the region, click here.

Accommodation comprises delightful, air conditioned thatched chalets, all with en-suite bathrooms, set in beautiful, thorntree studded parkland with warthog and nyala wandering freely through the camp. Our studio is a beautiful, semi-enclosed deck overlooking an African waterhole where the water lilies splash their colour across the languid waters and frogs serenade one another late into the night.

Dinner, when you aren't cooking it yourself, is served beneath the star-studded heavens, while cathedrals of candles and a huge campfire throw flickering, golden shadows across enchanted faces. Delicious food, chilled drinks and convivial company are a given, and time is marked by the slow wheel of the Southern Cross through the African sky.

Old Canvas Expeditions' three-day cooking safari takes place over a weekend; with registration and introduction on a Thursday evening; then a full Friday and Saturday, and a half-day on Sunday.
