Being a former German colonial you will find a lot of variety in beer. The most popular beer brand amongst safari tourists is “Kili” which is the purest beer without any cornstarch.

Wines are mostly imported from South Africa. You can find some French or Italian brands depending upon which hotel you are staying in.
