About Us

Our Story – From the Heart of Africa to the English Countryside

Safari Braai Shack was born from a love of bringing people together through food, music, and culture.
Inspired by the warm spirit of the South African braai — a tradition that’s as much about togetherness as it is about great flavour — our goal has always been simple:
to share authentic African hospitality right here in the British countryside.

Set within the charming White Horse countryside pub, just minutes from Woburn Safari Park, Safari Braai Shack combines the rustic comfort of a local inn with the vibrant soul of Africa.
The crackle of the log fire, the smell of sizzling meat on the grill, and the laughter of guests create an atmosphere that feels like home — wherever you’re from.

Our Food

Every dish is inspired by the tastes and textures of southern Africa, from smoky braai meats and boerewors to fresh salads, sauces, and comforting sides.
We take pride in using quality, locally sourced ingredients, blending them with our own house marinades and spices to create bold, unforgettable flavours.
It’s a menu made for sharing — because a braai is never meant to be eaten alone.

Our Culture & Community

More than just a restaurant, Safari Braai Shack has become a community hub — a place for celebrations, creativity, and connection.
We host live music, poetry nights, cultural festivals, and open-field BBQ events, giving guests a taste of African rhythm and rural charm in one experience.
From bikers’ rallies to vintage tractor shows, from family days out to romantic evenings by the fire — there’s always something happening here.

Our Vision

To celebrate unity through diversity, one meal at a time.
We believe food has the power to tell stories, connect cultures, and build friendships that last a lifetime.
Whether you’re discovering South African cuisine for the first time or coming back for a taste of home, you’ll always be welcomed like family at Safari Braai Shack.
