Why We Love This Unique Experience

Experience the magic of Cape Town’s Royal Boma at Makers Landing, where the rich heritage of Africa unfolds in a captivating sensory journey. Explore the continent’s golden age as the tales of legendary kings and queens from the 11th to 18th centuries come to life through storytelling, music, and dance. Indulge in a 7-course African royal feast, savoring flavors from Southern, East & Central, West, North Africa, and the Islands—each dish a revival of cherished recipes steeped in love and tradition.

This evening is not just about dining; it's a complete cultural immersion.

Live performances featuring ancient and modern African drums accompanied by stunning dance acts will transport attendees deeper into the continent's rhythm. Each performance is crafted from genuine traditions, and proceeds from this experience directly benefit the communities that preserve these rich cultural legacies.
