We had a great time. Seemed like they were a bit short-staffed but the waiters did a good job of trying to fill the void. The food was delicious and the beer was on point. No complaints.

Wonderful addition to the Safari Park! My husband and I have been members for 46 years, and the 2 meals we've had at Mkutano House in 2026 are at the top of the list of dining experiences we've had, not just at the Safari Park but ANYWHERE. The Africa-inspired food is delicious, beautifully prepared and presented, healthy and flavorful. The attention to detail in the architecture and decor enhances the experience, and of course being able to sit and watch the elephants is an unmatched bonus to the whole experience. What a terrific way for humans, animal ambassadors, and cultures to interact joyfully. Thank you!

Was over for a business lunch; the ambiance and the noise level were just perfect for a nice conversation. All of us were vegetarian for the day, the menu is light on vegetarian food and we ended up having the Power Bowl. The server told us that he will make sure to give us some extra sauce which helped since it did get a bit dry. They have seating in the patio too which also is a great option.

Had such an amazing time at the Grand Social. Food and drinks were delicious (the wood fired pizza was amazing!) Music choice by the DJ was perfect and the ambience was so chill and relaxing. Sad this was the last weekend of the season but we’ll definitely be back next summer!
