Breakfast at Singita is a very special time of day. Usually served after the early morning game drive, the menu includes fresh, homemade pastries, eggs cooked to order, a variety of cereals, a fruit, cheese and cold meat selection, hot pancakes and even a breakfast pizza! It's easy to indulge, but for the more restrained among us, there are plenty of light, healthy options like this delicious granola. Today, head sous chef at Singita Kruger National Park, Andrew Nicholson, shares his recipe which is perfect for a hearty breakfast or a tasty afternoon snack:
