TOUR AROUND VICTORIA FALLS

Scenic & Cultural Tours

FALLS TOUR - Guided tour of the falls

Location: Victoria Falls

It’s a truly awe-inspiring experience – the sight, the sound, the smell; the humbling feeling that here indeed is Nature’s Supreme Masterpiece. No photograph can begin to depict the reality…and nothing prepares you for your first sight.


The Victoria Falls – Now In Its 150 Millionth Fantastic Year – Reaches Its Zenith In About May each year.


This tour is conducted in the morning and afternoon. Enroute, clients may be taken past the ‘Big Tree’ where they may stop and take photos. Clients will be accompanied through the Rainforest by one of our qualified Guides who will give a brief history of the Falls themselves as well as detailing the flora, fauna, bird & wildlife and other points of interest. Guides are also happy to assist clients with photographs whilst visiting this most spectacular of waterfalls. Raincoats are provided when needed.

Helicopter Tours

Location: Victoria Falls

This is a spectacular helicopter flight over the Victoria Falls. David Livingstone famously wrote on seeing the Victoria Falls for the first time in 1855 that “Scenes so lovely must have been gazed upon by angels in their flight”. Little did he know that 150 years later he could have exactly that opportunity. The best way to appreciate the true splendour of the Victoria Falls is to view them from the air. Our helicopters have specially designed ‘bubble shaped’ windows perfect for panoramic viewing and great photographic opportunities from all seats.



Village Tours

Location: Victoria Falls.

This is a Village Tour to a Royal Homestead in the village which was founded some centuries back. It is home to about 6,000 local people. The chief invites visitors into his village to get a glimpse of how his people have lived for generations and to learn a little about their traditional customs and beliefs. The Chief’s guides and the people of the village are more than happy to show visitors their huts and take you inside, explain how they are built and decorated, introduce you to various craftsmen and women at work and ask you to taste some traditional foods and beer. This is a working village, not a purpose built tourist attraction, and it is a privilege to be welcomed into their lifestyle. #VillageTour



Onsite there is a reservation desk for Victoria Falls activities bookings, 2 signature bars with local and international beverages, a restaurant with a blend of international and local cuisines, and a large sparkling swimming pool with beach umbrellas and sun beds for guests to relax. Coffee or tea can be served tables adjacent to the pool.



Boma Dinner and Drum


Location: Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe.

The Boma – Dinner & Drum Show, which to date more than one million people have enjoyed, has come a long way since its humble beginnings a quarter of a century ago.

The Boma was developed after the Lokuthula Lodges were built in 1992, to cater for guests staying at the lodges. As the accommodation was deemed to be out of town, a restaurant was required by Resort Condominium International so that Lokuthula Lodges could obtain affiliation to the largest timeshare network in the world. As the developers of Lokuthula could not afford to build a restaurant, they instead just built a kitchen and called it a ‘bush’ restaurant. It was a 60-seater eatery and in the beginning the waiters were also the entertainers.

The restaurant was a failure due to the constant weather changes. On a visit to a friend who was re-doing her roof with thatch, one of the developers offered her a job to come up to Victoria Falls and build The Boma restaurant, which she did. Initially, the restaurant was called The Boma – Place of Eating, but it was re-branded in 2016 to The Boma – Dinner & Drum Show to include the unique entertainment element that has made the experience a Victoria Falls highlight.

The re-branding included a review of the food offering, entertainment, uniforms and décor. The changes have made The Boma more contemporary, without losing its traditional feel. In 2019 The Boma underwent another major refurbishment which saw the main kitchen and cookhouse rebuilt, new equipment installed and structural changes made to the serving areas to better accommodate the larger volumes of guests. In addition, its décor was redone to capture the style of the traditional Zimbabwean cooking hut. The Boma Dinner and Drums gives a wide variety of traditional cuisines in Victoria Falls, with more drums entertainment and dances for the visitors. Make this activity a first choice. #Boma

Arguably the wildest white water in the world, rafting on the Zambezi River is an adrenaline rush not to be missed. The rapids on the Zambezi River are officially defined as “Grade 5” by the British Canoe Union (Grade 6 not being commercially run). Clients should be reasonably fit for this activity, as there is a steep walk into & out of the Batoka Gorge as well as the white water rafting activity itself. The gorge is over 100 meters deep at the Falls and increases to over 200 meters by the end of a full day raft trip. Despite this rugged terrain, the gorges below the Falls are thick with vegetation and incredibly spectacular.
