  1. Rumi Daley

    Our experience with the Middle Eastern Gourmet Safari far surpassed any expectation. Our beautiful tour guide Ulku was not only knowledgeable but also incredibly passionate about the local food scene. She shared her insights into the history and culture behind each dish adding a whole new dimension to the tasting experience. We covered several suburbs and at each stop we were met with open arms to sample the food. It truly was a non stop feast. Highlights included stopping at a a Turkish market. Ulku showcased some of her favourite products and gave us lots of ideas of how to use the ingredients at home. Being shown what to buy and where to buy it from, I now have a bag full of amazing ingredients and can look forward to trying to recreate some of the delicious dishes that we sampled on our tour. A special shout out to our tour bus driver Kemal who made the day extra fun with his humour and kindness. We can’t wait to join another tour with them!

How does a gift certificate work?

Our Gourmet Safaris gift certificates are valid for 12 months and can be used on any of our safaris. You can nominate part or all of the amount of a safari. Safaris range in price from $130 to $165. Bookings can then be made online ​or over the phone ​by calling (02) 8969 6555 by the recipient using the gift certificate number.

Do I have to nominate which tour my friend receiving the certificate attends?

No – the beauty of this system is that you give your friend an inspired present and they can choose which Safari and date​ suits them.

Do I need to be vaccinated to do a tour?

Yes, we require all our attendees to be fully vaccinated

Can I buy gift certificates for more than one person at a time?

Of course. This often happens around Christmas and is easily done in one transaction. You will have a Continue Shopping prompt and be able to fill in details for as many as you’d like.

Why do you need my friend’s mobile number and email address?

This just makes it easier for us if you would like the certificate sent by us to the recipient with your message.

Can I change my booking?

Our terms are “bookings are final at time of payment” but if we receive sufficient notification we can usually make changes for you. (Obviously the more notification the better). Unfortunately if we are notified in the week leading up to the tour, we would be unable to change/cancel/transfer your booking (unless we have people on a wait list and they are able to attend). Bookings are transferrable so if you are unable to attend you can transfer the booking to someone else.

 

Why are Gourmet Safaris Gift certificates the perfect gift?

We find most people treasure experiences over gathering more stuff. A Gourmet Safari opens up new and delicious worlds and is always a fun day out, whether people are dedicated cooks or just love exploring new flavours and places.

Does Safaris director Maeve attend all the safaris?

As many as she can but each safari is led by experienced guides who have grown up with the food you’ll be exploring. Many live in the neighbourhoods the safaris visit which gives our tours a unique edge. You’re welcome to email or call Safaris manager Suzy to check which safaris Maeve will be attending. info@gourmetsafaris.com.au or 02 8969 6555.
