As we’ve been raving about the “Sundowner” tradition that many of the Yampu Team have recently indulged in, we thought it was time to give you the chance to make your OWN “Sundowner”!

A term coined in the 1950’s, “sundowners” refer to the refreshing cocktail enjoyed after a long day at work (at sundown!). Evolving with the tourism of South-East Africa, “sundowners” are now a relaxing excursion that often follow and exciting day on a game drive.
