VENUE: Seats 415. Air-conditioned.

FOOD: Lots to choose from here, with a different African dish of the day ($10) each night. There's also a kebab plate ($7) and samosas ($3; two for $5). Fried plantain is sweet and delicious and comes with a kebab for $5. There are several African beers. The Kalahari beer is smooth and refreshing.

DISPLAYS: There are tables full of artifacts from various African countries. You'll see masks, statues, musical instruments, games and baskets made of materials such as wood, palm leaves, ivory and clay. There are lots of African crafts, jewelry and clothing for sale.

SHOW: Every night is different at this pavilion, which represents many nations. A most enthusiastic host enhances this cultural safari. She introduces each troupe, telling a little about their dance. The comprehensive printed program helps you follow along. The dancers are marvellous -- full of life, dressed in flamboyantly coloured and patterned costumes and extremely graceful. Accompaniment is recorded singing, drumming and wild animal calls. Dances from Ghana, Zambia, Sierra Leone and Nigeria were featured Sunday.

LOST IN TRANSLATION: The display area would benefit from more written descriptions of the items shown.
