Carrot Baklava

This is our take on the traditional Turkish sweet pastry. Every Sunday lunch our chefs produce this tasty and unique dish called carrot, almond and dill baklava. The naturally sweet carrots, crunchy almonds and refreshing dill topped with a crispy filo pastry are a delicious combination and perfectly light for the hot Selous afternoons! No wonder we give out the recipe every week to our guests!

Leopard

This beautiful Leopard is a regular sighting for Sand Rivers camp, he prefers to spend his days perched in this enormous Baobab tree on the edge of Lake Tagalala, from this tree he has a very good view of a couple of the lakes bays, where he can watch unsuspecting animals coming down for a drink.
