π₯ Safari Supper
No spreadsheets. No colour-coding. No scheduling headaches. Enter your street or community and a date, share the link Safari Supper writes for your WhatsApp, and it builds the perfect evening from the replies. All you do is approve the plan.
Also known as a progressive dinner.
βPutting this together before was something of a cross between a military operation, a Sudoku puzzle and an episode of The Traitors.β
β Kim & Warren, Safari Supper organisers
Now Safari Supper does all the hard work for you.
Create your event
Name it and pick a date β or poll a few and let the app find the evening that suits the most households.
Share one link
Safari Supper writes your WhatsApp invite. Neighbours tap their household and reply β no emails or addresses needed.
They say who's in
Who's coming, who can host a course, any allergies β it all fills in as replies land. No chasing, no spreadsheet.
Approve the plan
One tap builds an evening where nobody meets twice. Everyone gets their own itinerary β you just sign it off.
This is a real, repeat-free plan β who's hosting each course and who joins them. It's exactly what prints: one tidy page for the door, or a PDF to share.

Safari Supper isn't only for the organiser β it gives every household their own evening from a single link.
πΊοΈ A personal itinerary
Every household gets their own evening β where to go, when, and a map to each door.
β° Reminders on the night
A live countdown and a nudge when it's time to move on to the next house.
π₯ Dietary needs handled
Allergies and preferences are passed quietly to each host.
π Calendar invites
Every course drops into their diary with a reminder β one tap.
π΅οΈ Optional icebreakers
A little fun before the night β like Two truths and a lie about your neighbours.
π¨οΈ A printable keepsake
One tidy page for the door, or a PDF to share β plus it works offline.
Every guest can play their evening through before it even starts β the clock winds from house to house, so everyone knows where they'll be and who they'll be with. Give this one a go:
The real page follows tonight's clock. Play it through to watch your evening unfold β where you are, who you're with, and when you move on.
Simulated 6:30pm
Optional icebreakers make the evening even more memorable. Switch on Two truths and a lie and everyone shares two surprising facts and one fib β the winners are revealed on the night.

Which one's the fib?
Play the free version β β set one up for any gathering, no account needed.
Everything you need for a brilliant night β what to cook, how it all works, games to play, and more.
What is a safari supper?
The idea, the history, and how a moving dinner works.

Warm up a fresh table of neighbours at every course.

The same evening, the American way.
Can I organise this?
If you can start a WhatsApp group, you can run a Safari Supper. The fiddly part β working out who visits whom β is exactly what the app does for you.
How long does setup take?
About five minutes. Name your event, pick a date, and share the link β the plan builds itself from the replies.
Does it have to be three courses?
No β three is just the classic: starter, main and dessert, a different house for each. It's your evening, so add a course (a fish course, a cheese round) or run just two. Welcome drinks to start and a nightcap to finish are optional too β switch them on or off to match your street's tradition.
What should we cook?
The trick is make-ahead food you can leave while guests come and go β a cold or room-temperature starter, an oven main that looks after itself, a dessert made the day before. We've gathered easy ideas the kids can help with.
How much work is it, really?
Very little. Your neighbours reply on their own, and you just review and approve the plan. No spreadsheets, no colour-coding, no late-night sudoku.
What do my guests get?
Set up, invite everyone, generate and publish the plan at no cost, every time. Membership is an optional contribution β it supports the project and brings the extras that make it effortless year after year.

A real evening, read-only β tap a household and see exactly what a guest gets.
Their own itinerary with maps, calendar invites, reminders on the night, and optional icebreakers β all from a single link.
Can I run it as a fundraiser?
Beautifully. With hosts providing the food, overheads are tiny, so almost everything you take goes to the cause β a low-cost, high-fun fundraiser for schools, churches, halls and clubs.
How much does it cost?
The essentials are always free β set up your event, invite everyone and publish the plan at no cost, every time. Membership is optional: a contribution that supports the project and brings a few extras that make running it year after year effortless. Suggested amounts are on the membership page.
