Enter the exotic Amarula African Oasis in Bedford Square during August and you'll be transported to the savannah with music, art, crafts and African rhythms. Bringing the heart of South Africa into London for four days of the summer, whether the sun is shining or it's pouring with rain, there will be plenty to get you in the holiday mood in the Amarula Africa Oasis.

A large slice of African heritage is set to take up residence in Bedford Square until Sunday 10th August as the Amarula African Oasis woos you with a variety of exciting, exotic and different events. Indulge in a little summer heat, and head to the khaki tents for some African colour and sunshine where you can sip on a cocktail or two or sample an ostrich burger from the barbecue.

Once inside you can indulge in delicious Amarula Cream cocktails created by Ben Reed, who is one of London's best known mixologists. The African Experience, the Exotic African and African Savannah are the three specially created cocktails that capture the spirit of the continent and will get you in the mood for anyone of the four special nights at the Amarula African Oasis. With different events taking place every evening, there is plenty to tempt you back for another visit.

African storytellers will create an authentic African feel with authentic stories from the savannah, and a world renowned DJ will keep your feet moving with addictive Afro beat music. Genuine African dancers and drummers will entertain you whilst you sip on your cocktail creating a truly exotic atmosphere.
