The Savanna started out as a shop in London which has opened a number of branches throughout London. The most recent branch of this shop opened in Liverpool Street Station. Visit the website at
I have visited branches of this shop myself on several occasions and have brought a range of products including Biltong which is dried beef similar to Jerkie, Droewors which are dried sausages and Boerewors which are high quality fresh sausages made with beef and pork.
Various flavours of Biltong and sausage are available as well as pickles, chutneys and a range of south African crisps sweets and drinks.
I placed an online order from home in Stepney using my own debit card and had it delivered to an address in Exeter. The ordering process went well and the products were delivered in a reasonably timely fashion though the currier did deliver them a day later than expected along with dog food ordered from a different supplier. This was not the fault of the vendor however.
I am not south African but I am advised that the taste of the sausages is reasonably authentic and I do rather like their texture which is coarse and meaty though the Boerewors do leak a fair amount of fat. Biltong is dried meat that you can chew on. I rather like it though it is not everyone's thing but if chewing on highly flavoured dried meat sounds as though it may interest you then Biltong is worth a try then give it a go. It does soften up nicely in your mouth. The Droewors are dried Boerewors and they are not as hard to chew as Biltong though they have quite a long shelf life. I have also tried Chutney flavoured crisps or chips as they are called on the site made by Simba. I found them rather morish I must say.
I would highly recommend this south African deli and I give it 8 out of 10
