Real Traveler reviews for Mama Africa

  • Gatgina Rated: Rating of 5 out of 5

    Mama Africa

    Restaurant | by Gatgina a 22 year old female | Dec 31 '03

    "Brilliant food- had a game stew with springbok, kudo... and some unknowns but brilliant!"

    Went to eat which was fantastic. Also danced in the dancefloor area afterwards which was great. Beautiful place, beautiful food.
