We went to this place for the first time today and it was pretty good.We ordered the turkey pesto sandwich and the pasta, along with a pretzel and cheese.The food wasn't hot and the pretzel was kind of hard but everything was flavorful.There is a nice terrace overlooking the lagoon below.If you feel like digesting after a large meal you can take the 40 minute tram ride that's very close by.We paid $52 after our member discount for two of us to eat but that's to be expected when coming here.A bonus is that the people who work here are very nice.Overall good food and good experience!
Went there for lunch.They have paninis which were warm.Kids menu is a joke.Two tiny chicken strips with few carrots and crackers.Paninis were good but the staff was super slow.The lines was long because the folks preparing food were not efficient.
Okavango Outpost is the worst eatery between the zoo and safari park.Not only is the selection limited to deli-style "paninis" (aka cold sandwiches) and prepackaged salads, the service is atrocious.A few months ago, this would have been a different review.However, the manager and staff today were unfriendly, lacked customer service, and simply don't know their own menu.In short, the pictures on the menu do not match what is served (especially the treats/desserts), and rather than remaking or actually fixing the problem, they argued with the customers and simply gave a refund without another proposed solution.The dumbest part is that one staff member said the customer's expectation and request was correct, but the supposed manager said "no" and took on a "defend your own" approach rather than a customer service one.Definitely will not be returning here despite holding a park membership.
