07 Oct Braai Under the Stars: A Truly South African Experience
The Magic of a South African Braai
There is something truly unforgettable about a braai under the stars at Golfers Lodge 167. The soft crackle of firewood, the warm glow of the flames, the scent of sizzling meat drifting through the bushveld air, all while a canopy of African stars lights up the night sky. A braai is not just a meal; it’s a moment of connection, of slowing down, and of celebrating togetherness.
At Golfer’s Lodge 167 at Zebula, this experience comes alive in the most authentic way. With a private boma and open firepit, the lodge offers guests the chance to gather with family and friends, creating memories that stretch far beyond the dinner table.
A Tradition That Defines South Africa
In South Africa, the braai is a way of life. More than just cooking outdoors, it’s a tradition that unites people from all walks of life. Unlike a typical barbecue, a braai is about taking time, waiting for the wood to burn to perfect coals, sharing stories around the fire, watching the rugby game and letting the night unfold naturally.
Here in Zebula golf estate, a braai takes on a whole new meaning. The surroundings are untouched and peaceful, making every bite taste richer and every laugh feel louder.

The Bushveld Feast: From Firewood to Flavour
The ritual of a braai starts long before the first bite. Lighting the fire, stacking the wood, and waiting for the coals is part of the magic. Once the flames settle, the feast begins.

Stars glisten brighter, the Milky Way stretches above, and every constellation feels close enough to touch. As you sit back by the fire, the only sounds are nature’s own soundtrack, the distant call of a nightjar, the rustle of wildlife in the bush, and the low hum of crackling embers.
It’s the kind of night that reminds you of life’s simple joys: good food, good company, and the beauty of the world around you.
