A tremendous night out, with amazing food and a fantastic African drum and dance show, which involved all the audience. Excellent service from staff too. Well worth it!
The dinner food part was excellent but the show was disappointing since it did not include any traditional dancers as they are used on all the photo advertising for this combined experience. Instead, it only had drum performance and ended 30 minutes earlier at 9:20pm instead of the advertised 10pm. Hence this false advertisement should be corrected.
The customer service, food quality, experience, and ambiance is rich and welcoming. As a solo traveler, they had me one table to myself - that felt affirming and acknowledged.

It was okay. Not my kind of entertainment but I can see the enjoyment people get from the experience.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We appreciate your honesty and understand that the experience may not suit everyone’s personal preferences. We are glad to hear you could still recognize the enjoyment it brings to others. Your perspective is valuable and helps us continue to improve and cater to a wide range of tastes.
The venue was authentic, the food was plentiful and delicious, the music and dancing was good BUT There were far too many people crammed into the space. The buffet was chaotic, you couldn't see the dishes. It felt rushed. Our tabke was at the top at the back meaning we couldn't see the show. Not worth the money ! V disappointing.
Thank you for your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed the venue, food, and entertainment, but we are sorry that overcrowding, buffet organization, and your seating affected your experience. This is certainly not the experience we aim to provide. Your comments regarding capacity, organization, and table placement are very important to us, and we will be reviewing these areas with our team to improve comfort and overall guest experience. We also regret that you felt the experience did not offer good value for money. Thank you again for your honest feedback.
It was a nice experience but for the price I would have expect food to be cooked better. I couldn't cut through my piece of steak and it was less than 10 mm width. There were a few good options to choose from like the pork, punkin herbs, pap and braai chicken but would recommend that they improve the quality of cooking. The entertainment was great, however I didn't like that people kept coming to the table trying to sell other services. Lastly the night was very rushed, there was no time to absorbed the setting and talent or to speak to my partner.
Thank you for your feedback—we’re glad you enjoyed the experience and entertainment. We apologise that the food quality, interruptions from sales, and rushed pace affected your evening. Your comments have been noted and will be addressed with the team to improve the overall experience. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you again for a better experience.
Although it was pricey it was worth it. Plenty of food choices and the entertainment was fantastic. Be prepared to join in and have fun .

This a fantastic way to spend an evening at Victoria Falls. The energy of the dancers and drummers is intoxicating and truly fabulous. Everyone gets a drum and joins in - really really great fun. All the staff are very keen to ensure you have a great time and their smiles are infectious. Absolutely recommend this evening to everyone, whatever your age.
