Sundays River Restaurant

A Taste of Africa, is a true gem of the Eastern Cape, just five minutes from the Matyholweni Gate – the southern entrance to Addo Elephant National Park. Nestled beside the Sundays River, our restaurant and coffee shop is a favourite stop for travellers, wildlife enthusiasts, and locals seeking great food and warm hospitality.

Whether you’re exploring Addo’s elephants, cruising along the river, or simply passing through Colchester, you’ll find a relaxed space to unwind and refuel. Our menu is inspired by the authentic flavours of South Africa – from hearty breakfasts and generous lunches to flavour-packed dinners and sweet treats. You can even enjoy a traditional braai experience, freshly prepared and served with genuine Eastern Cape warmth.

Take your pick: enjoy a cosy table indoors or soak up the sunshine in our peaceful garden surrounded by birdsong and the scent of the bush. Whichever you choose, you’ll be tempted to linger long after your meal is done.

Planning a special occasion?

A Taste of Africa is also available for private functions, birthdays, and group celebrations. Combine your event with a Sundays River cruise for an unforgettable experience that pairs adventure with great food and easy hospitality.
