The Boma Dinner and Drum Show

We had a fantastic evening at The Boma. It was much more than just dinner. It felt like a celebration of Zimbabwean culture. The buffet offered a wide variety of local dishes alongside familiar options, making it easy for everyone in our group (including vegetarian and vegan diners) to find plenty to enjoy. The food was fresh and plentiful. The entertainment was the highlight. The live music, traditional dancing, drumming, and interactive performances created an energetic atmosphere without feeling overly staged. The drumming session was especially memorable and had almost everyone participating by the end. The staff were welcoming and kept everything running smoothly despite the large number of guests. If you’re visiting Victoria Falls, I’d recommend doing The Boma early in your stay. It’s a fun introduction to the local culture and one of the most memorable evenings we had during our trip. Arrive hungry and be ready to join in the festivities!

The food was great and the show was a great experience with an interactive twist that engaged the crowd

We went with our guide at his suggestion. This was one our favorite things we did here ( after the falls visits )We played drums, got up and danced, and the food was delicious. Lots of options from meats to veggies and dessert . Smiled the whole time. Well worth going.

We had great transportation.. very prompt and friendly. The show was great and interactive. It was a wonderful last night in Victoria Falls

Great dinner and a great show. Our driver, Last, was timely and took great care of us. A unique and fun evening it in Vic Falls.

A warm African welcome at the door with costumes for all, with African dancing and singing. We went through to a large restaurant with barbecue meats, fish and amazing array of delicious food. Our waitresses Busi was so attentive and helpful made it a wonderful experience. There were dancing and Africa drumming where all got to join in. There was a lady braiding hair anda fortune teller, who looked like a medicine man. The evening was full energy and laughter. They had some lovely trinkets to take home. Everyone was so helpful and kind. Drinks weren’t included but very reasonable prices.

Great food dance and drum show Only offered one drink all night And we were shoved right up the back corner with absolute no views of any dancers. We moved closer and people told us to go back to our own seats. Not happy. My husband came down sick and couldn’t come and no refund offered

It’s fun to do once and see the show a good night out really , it was fun and lively. The food was local and tasty., the drinks which . The dancing was energetic and the drumming show was good but th the commentator was a bit over the top.

The sights, sounds and delicious aromas of Africa filled the air as we were fitted with our colorful garment for the evening. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening, and would highly recommend this activity.

My wife and I went to the Boma for a valentine’s dinner (2026). It was a great experience, topped up with a drum show. All I can say is you gotta be there yourself to experience it.
