Lapa
A lapa is a structure that is popular in South Africa. It usually consists of a thatched roof supported by wooden poles. Lapas are commonly used as semi-open entertainment areas. It is sometimes misspelled as lapha. Lapa can suitably be accepted as a variant of the widely known gazebo.
Lapa in Toro River Lodges is a luxury version of the traditional one. In our lapa you can take a meal or a snack, coffee or tea. Here you can hold a meeting or browse your mobile device. Lapa is the living room of Toro River Lodges, a place of meetings and stories.
Boma
In the ancient times a boma was a livestock enclosure, stockade, corral, small fort or a district government office and community. This term is incorporated into many African languages, as well as colonial varieties of English, French and German.
In our version, boma is a place of evening gatherings around the fire, a place to enjoy your dinner in a private environment that is safe and charming. Our Boma provides you with familiar warmth, intimacy, and pleasant time before you go to sleep.

Brunch
It is not a breakfast, it is not a lunch. Coined in England at the end of the 19th Century, this was always more than a term. Brunch is a way of life for the people that walk, move, and enjoy something active and entertaining.
In South Africa, brunch is a favourite activity of many families. It is globally-distinctive in that the food consumed is light, buffet type but also very carefully chosen. Served with careful thought it is dedicated to provide you with the taste of Africa, and the taste of safari.
