‘Safari Leaders’ Food legends, Maggie Beer and Simon Bryant at KI

The KI Food Safari kicks off at Southern Ocean Lodge on August 24, 2013 and charts a route of culinary discovery across Kangaroo Island in search of fabulous food and wine, hand-picked straight from the source. The six night KI Food Safari is a hands-on, muddy-boots paddock and vineyard discovery of Kangaroo Island's best produce and its journey to the plates and glasses at the lauded Southern Ocean Lodge.

South Australia's own much-loved food legends, Maggie Beer and Simon Bryant return for an encore performance as 'Safari Leaders', joined in 2013 by acclaimed chef and longstanding Sydney restaurateur, Damien Pignolet.  Each will guide excursions from farm to winery to choose the finest and freshest produce for the evening's menu. Guests can expect star appearances throughout by local producers and food personalities.

The Safari will travel across Kangaroo Island, a destination emerging globally as an island of exceptional food producers who operate on a mostly small scale, sustainable and personal basis. The Safari 'troopers' will meet
producers, taste straight from the source and hear remarkable stories along the way.

The six night itinerary will include a working experience at the Sheep Milk Dairy, a visit to the green pastures of Southrock Lamb and the shady groves of KI Olive Oil. Guests might pluck marron and abalone from the farm, savour pure Ligurian honey straight from the hive and shuck oysters from the leases at American River.

Relax with good company and enjoy fine winery lunches, cooking demonstrations, Southern Ocean BBQs and sunset drinks at Remarkable Rocks. Finish with the day's harvest celebrated in a spectacular menu enjoyed around the table at Southern Ocean Lodge.
