How happy was I to finally find a miniature bottle of Amarula! More so as it is a gift for a special occasion. I waited longer than anticipated for delivery but Royal Mail was at fault not Savanna. Fa... Toon meer

Lots of fat & gristle, not dry enough , worse ever

Very disappointing quality, nothing like the photos

The biltong I received was full of large pieces of fat, gristle and tough sinew. Much of it was extremely difficult to chew, and I ended up removing and throwing away a considerable amount, as you can see from my photo.

This is also nothing like the product photos online, which show lean, well-trimmed pieces without all this visible fat and gristle.

What makes it even more disappointing is that I have bought £3 packs of biltong from Sainsbury’s that were considerably better quality than this.

For a specialist South African food retailer charging a premium price, I expected much better-quality beef and much better trimming.

Poor value and very disappointing. I wouldn’t buy it againi

Antwoord van The Savanna

Hello Zoe,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear that your recent biltong was so disappointing, particularly with the amount of fat, gristle and tough sinew you experienced.

We completely understand your frustration, especially when you have purchased from us expecting the quality associated with a specialist South African food retailer. This is certainly not the experience we want our customers to have.

We would really like the opportunity to address this matter for you and investigate the batch you received. Please email us at customerservice@thesavanna.co.za with your order details and, if possible, the photos you mentioned, so that we can look into this further and assist you.

Kind regards,
The Savanna Team

Only half of my order arrived

My original review is below, written on 3/9/26, referring to an order from 27/8/26. It prompted a rapid response from Savanna .... a whole lot faster that their Customer Services Team's response! Another week on (8/9/26), and still no meat. An email from Charles was full of apologies and assurances that he had "personally escalated" the order. Two days later, still no acknowledgement that it has even been dispatched. Two weeks on from placing the order - NOTHING, except a voucher for 15% discount should I be stupid enough to use them again.

Only half of my order arrived. Contacted by email, but just an auto reply. Several more emails ha e been ignored. Tried phoning - selected Option for Customer Service, but no answer. Call went to voicemail, but unable to leave message as voicemail box is full. Presumably with other complaints?

Customer Services team seem to have vanished ... as has my order. Maybe they've stopped trading?

Hello Mr Cooke,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and please accept our sincere apologies for the frustration and inconvenience you have experienced.

It seems you have unfortunately caught us during an exceptionally busy period, and we are sorry that this has resulted in delays in responding to your emails and calls. We completely understand how concerning this must be when you have only received part of your order.

Please email us at customerservice@thesavanna.co.za with your order details so we can look into this for you. We would really like the opportunity to make this right.

Kind regards,
The Savanna Team

We have been a family of fairly regular customers over many years and appreciate the opportunity that Savanna provides for us to enjoy SA products. However, the last few orders of our favourite Chilli Bites have proved to be disappointing, as a significant proportion of the meat sticks are very sinewy and difficult to chew, so much so that we have thrown away some of the totally inedible ones. This is most disappointing and a waste of expensive meat; and makes us hesitant to order more of the same.

The boerewors was well packed but not very cold so that needs to be improved, the gems were perfect and we are enjoying them with the wors on braais.

Price was ok, communication and delivery good. If the wors was colder more frosty instead of Luke warm I’d be very happy.

The farm wors I feel had too much starch but we will see what the rest is like very soon.
Thank you

Great choice of SA products

I placed my order on the Wednesday and was hoping for weekend delivery. They only despatched on the Friday but because I said it was urgent (was having a braai after the rugby!!) it arrived 9:30am Saturday morning. Great products. The thin wors was really good as was the biltong with a little fat. Our friends were asking where we bought it from so you will have another customer soon! Thanks, Licille and team :)

Well done Savanna definitely going yo carry on dealing with you. Thanks

I bought items and it took more than 7 days to be delivered. It was for special occasion and the occasion passed before items could be delivered. The items are legit and precisely what I needed but their service is just bellow the line.

We understand how disappointing this must have been, especially as the order was intended for a special occasion and unfortunately arrived after the occasion had passed.
