The Thirsty Giraffe Pub And Grill

Great vibe,good food and friendly staff. No play area for kids at the moment. Vegetarian options: They only have a few Vegetarian options. Would love to see more on the menu!

Family Grill, drinks, wild nature feel, relaxation, off road drive, jungle gym, domestic animals in a wild nature reserve etc. This place is awesome. Just to be away from town with friends or family with children. Very nice. Friendly people and owners are quite unbelievable, so filled with life and love . Atmosphere Felt like home. Awesome pub and grill. Kid-friendliness: Bring your children. This place is fantastic coz your children can enjoy the food and have plenty of space to play. You can enjoy with your spouse or friends without you having to worry about the children. Safe and sound.

We love visiting The Thirsty Giraffe when we are in Hoedspruit. The place has a very welcoming atmosphere with incredibly friendly staff and great food! The best Steak in Town!!! Escobar the bird is pretty cool too! Even the Birds are Thirsty at the Thirsty Giraffe!

Nice bush pub close to Hoedspruit. Very friendly staff and the food is also good. Enough activity for kids to keep them busy while you can enjoy your drinks and food.Food: 5/5

The donkeys inside the bar were my favourite part of this experience. Chilling there like they own the place. We had a fantastic server and the food was cooked to our liking.Food: 4/5

A hidden gem on the R40 , well sign posted almost opposite Tshukudu Private Game Lodge. Family friendly. Staff very friendly. Great portions of food. Not expensive. Nice menu to choose. No rush so go to relax and enjoy the daily afternoon visit of the donkey to the pub. Horses may pop their heads in for a scratch. Owner very chatty. Home to Hoedspruit Parkrun. Certainly go back there.

It's a favourite! Vic produces excellent cuisine. Staff are friendly and efficient. I would recommend it highly.Food: 5/5

A nice hidden "watering hole" in the hoedspruit bush...the menu boasts some south african portugese inspired dishes..all prepared well and tasty. The service was good and the food was delicious.

If you go there for the views, you will not be disappointed. You can have a drink on the top terrace. See the mountains, the sunset.. The view is awesome. They have chickens, donkeys, cows, ducks, geese, rabbits... They are free to go wherever, they 6would even walk into the restaurant... We had a pizza and squid. The was thin crust with a thick garnish and the squid was so tender... Delicious .

A really great restaurant, very good food especially the steaks and very friendly service. The cocktails are delicious. You can sit outside and be greeted by donkeys in the parking lot, who also look at the table to see if you have everything. Very dear animals. We felt very well looked after and can only give our unreserved recommendation.
