Where the vibrant spirit of South Africa meets global convenience. We bring authentic flavors, premium quality, and the warmth of a braai to your doorstep—no matter where you are in the world.
At The Savanna, we understand that true comfort often comes from the taste of home, the joy of discovery, and the quality of what’s on your plate and in your glass. That’s why we’ve curated more than just a store—we’ve built a destination for food lovers, expats, adventurers, and anyone who appreciates the rich culinary heritage of Southern Africa.
Our Story
Born from a passion for authentic South African flavors and a commitment to quality, The Savanna started as a simple idea: to make the finest biltong, boerewors, wines, and groceries accessible worldwide. Based in San Francisco but rooted in South African tradition, we bridge continents through taste, delivering carefully sourced products that tell a story of craftsmanship, heritage, and joy.
Our Mission & Core Value
To deliver authentic, high-quality South African food and drink experiences—making every meal a celebration, every gathering more memorable, and every taste a journey back to the savanna.
We believe good food and drink bring people together. Whether it’s the savory snap of boerewors on the grill, the rich aroma of aged biltong, or the crisp finish of a South African wine, our products are crafted to create moments worth savoring.
