Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti Unveils New Menu

Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti has introduced a refreshed menu at Nuru Restaurant, bringing together seafood dishes, hearty grill selections and Mediterranean influences, set against sweeping views of the Serengeti plains. The new menu focuses on bold flavours, fresh ingredients, and a more relaxed, ingredient-led approach to dining.

At the centre of the menu is a strong focus on coastal cuisine, featuring fresh seafood prepared in a way that keeps flavours clear and well balanced.

Highlights include the Zanzibar Catch of the Day, a Josper-grilled fillet finished with citrus butter, olive oil, and capers; Grilled Calamari served with chermoula butter and grilled lemon; and the Mixed Seafood Grill, featuring prawns, calamari, and tuna steak seasoned with house-made Mediterranean spices and sea salt. The approach is simple, let the ingredients speak for themselves.

Alongside the seafood selection, the menu features a range of dishes from the land, developed by Chef Moustafa. Options include Harissa Marinated Lamb Chops with a yoghurt and mint glaze and rosemary jus, as well as South African beef cuts, including tenderloin or striploin, prepared with olive oil, thyme and Maldon salt to highlight their natural flavour.

Chicken Shish Taouk, marinated in yoghurt and sumac and served with pickled onions and tomato, offers a lighter option, while the mixed grill brings together beef kabob, Chicken Shish Taouk and lamb kofta with freshly baked saj bread and salad.

For guests seeking standout grill options, the menu also includes Black Angus Tenderloin, New Zealand Lamb Rack with a herb crust and lemon‑garlic glaze, and a Wagyu Burger layered with aged cheese, caramelised onions, roasted tomato and crispy pancetta on a truffle brioche bun.

Premium Wagyu Rib Eye and Tenderloin (Marbling 5+) are Josper‑grilled and complemented with rosemary sea salt and truffle butter, while the Australian Tomahawk is presented as a generous, shareable dish, served with a red wine reduction.

To finish, desserts strike a balance between familiar and creative. Options include Olive Oil and Orange Cake with yogurt sorbet, honey and almond crumble; Pistachio Baklava with vanilla ice cream and rose syrup; and Tiramisu alla Serengeti with mascarpone cream and an Amarula drizzle. A warm Chocolate Fondant with hazelnut gelato rounds things off.

Nuru Restaurant offers a welcoming setting for breakfast, lunch (seasonally), and dinner, with panoramic views that connect the dining experience to the surrounding landscape.
