Preparation is key! The great benefit of planning the meals for your camping trip is that you will spend less time deciding what to prepare each day. You will also not be stuck with a lot of food at the end of your trip.  And it means you won’t have to fork out money at a nearby grocery store. After all, going camping is about having a good time – not spending all your time slaving over meals.

When packing the food for your trip, be aware of how you plan to keep your food cold and dry for the duration of your stay. Make sure your cooler box is large enough. Have extra sealable plastic bags on hand for any leftovers. Ice packs can last a while, but you will probably have to purchase extra ice to ensure your food stays fresh. 

To restrict your intake of harmful carcinogens, cover your vegetables in foil before you place them on the braai. The foil protects them from burning in the hot coals or open flames.
