About BulltongAfrica Biltong, made in South Africa.

BulltongAfrica is a UAE-founded brand selling South African biltong in Dubai and across the Emirates. It was started in Dubai in July 2025 by Rafiq Dawood, 21, a finance student and first-time founder who wanted a high-protein snack that was simple, tasty and halal.

The cattle are South African, and the biltong is cured and packed in South Africa before it reaches the UAE. Vinegar, salt and spices go into the cure. The beef is dried slowly by air instead of cooked. The ingredient list and nutrition panel are printed on the back of each pack.

There are six flavours, from Traditional Hunters to African Heat, in 35g and 90g packs. Every pack is halal; a 35g pack carries 19.4g of protein and the 90g pack 49g.

Over 4,000 packs are out there since July 2025, sold and sampled: on this site, in school vending machines around Dubai, at a sports-court cafe, at a campus minimart and on the shelf at Sqoon. Questions? WhatsApp +971 52 961 8856 or email raf@bulltonguae.com.
