When on safari what could be better than enjoying an African sunset with a delicious drink in hand. Our Morukuru Family speciality is the Swallow Tail - named after the Swallow-tailed Bee-Eater. Look how this concoction mirrors the gorgeous green and blue plumage of that slender bird! Here’s a fast birding fact ...Before eating its meal, a bee-eater removes the sting by repeatedly hitting and rubbing the insect on a hard surface. During this process, pressure is applied to the insect thereby extracting most of the venom.
