Baobab Table is a curated cultural experience, not merely a restaurant. Guests embark on a three-hour culinary journey across Africa, cuisine, music, storytelling, dance, visual arts and interactive performance inspired by different regions of the continent, following a carefully choreographed programme that begins with a welcome ceremony and ends with a grand cultural finale.

The guest journey

• Arrival — a traditional African welcome ceremony, a signature welcome drink, African percussion and interactive storytelling set the tone.
• Interactive cultural experience — a drumming workshop, traditional face painting, bead-making, spice appreciation and a traditional coffee ceremony engage guests directly.
• Pan-African tasting — an 18-course tasting menu representing more than 15 African countries, with each course introduced through storytelling that explains its history, ingredients and cultural significance.
• Live performances — a marimba ensemble, Afro-jazz, traditional dancers, poetry, fashion showcases and contemporary African music run through the evening.
• Cultural marketplace — guests can purchase curated African products before departing, extending spend and brand reach.

The cuisine

Signature dishes are inspired by eighteen countries, South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Mozambique, Angola, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Ghana, Senegal, Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt and Madagascar, with menus that evolve seasonally to showcase regional ingredients and culinary traditions. The breadth is a deliberate differentiator: it makes each visit a journey across the continent and gives the kitchen a near-limitless canvas for seasonal reinvention.

The evening programme

The three-hour experience is engineered as a precise operational sequence, so that the kitchen, floor and stage move in concert and each guest receives the same choreographed journey. The illustrative programme below shows how service, performance and interaction are interleaved to sustain pace and build to the finale.
