What is a braai in South Africa ?

At a braai, people gather around the fire to watch the host cook the meats. They even hang around well after the food is cooked and the fire is still lit. The braai is where family and friends gather around to share a meal, enjoy company, and drink a wide variety of wines South Africa has to offer.
Braai is a common (and very frequent) practice in any South African household, a braai is a fundamental part of South African culture and is a gathering of friends and family around a wood-fire grill in celebration.

When Do You Have a Braai?

South Africans rarely need an excuse to have a braai. In many cases, families will host a once-weekly smaller braai (even a breakfast braai) and do a bigger braai on special occasions. No matter the time of day, the day of the week, before or after work, rain or shine, braais can and will happen. So, if you are going to have a braai, do it whenever you feel like it on your Gijima Woodfired Experience Braai !
