Bush breakfast in Akagera National Park – A bush breakfast should be booked before you set off to ensure proper arrangements, as most of them start very early in the morning. You will be driven to the best spot in the jungle.
On the way, as an early explorer, you will get to gaze at elephants, hippos, lions, giraffes, birds, and many other animals, as most of them wake up early in the morning to search for food and water.
The wild setting of a bush breakfast surpasses other activities, as it only requires a delicious meal cooked by the best chef, a natural spot, and the company of your fellow adventurers.
Some tourists ask, What is a bush breakfast? In simple terms, a bush breakfast is a breakfast picnic cooked out in nature. The menu is entirely up to you. If you are a vegetarian, options like fakon (fake bacon) will be available for you.
Flasks are always filled with hot water for coffee or tea lovers, and if you prefer juice, mention it in advance so it can be included.
A typical English-style breakfast might include eggs, sausage, tomatoes, a glass of freshly pressed orange juice, and toast. If you prefer to prepare your own breakfast, here are a few things to consider:
- Choose the right location where you want your bush breakfast to be prepared. Tour guides will always recommend the best and safest spots for you, where you can gaze at Lake Ihema and watch hippos while enjoying your breakfast.
- Prepare the necessary equipment, such as a skottle or gas bottle for cooking, a pan, eggs, bread, fruits, and a flask with hot water for making tea. Don’t forget napkins and cutlery. Bring a cloth to lay on with your family while you enjoy your meal.
- Pack the right attire for the bush to make you feel the spirit of “Africa.” A hat, safari earth-colored dress or trousers, simple shoes, and sunglasses will make your bush breakfast experience comfortable and enjoyable.
Remember to take everything simple, as simplicity is the key to a successful safari. Let each moment fill your heart as you quietly watch the birds and wildlife of Akagera.
You are free to film the surroundings, take a walk, and stretch your legs before heading back to your booked lodge for more exclusive adventures.
