VictoriaFalls travel guide

Game meat (warthog, crocodile)

Victoria Falls restaurants offer authentic African game dining—warthog ribs with wild herb rub, kudu medallions, impala carpaccio and lemon-pepper crocodile tail; a genuine wildlife-to-table experience unique to the Zambezi Valley

Sadza

Zimbabwe's foundational staple—thick stiff cornmeal porridge cooked to a firm texture; rolled by hand into balls to scoop up accompanying relishes; eaten at every meal by most Zimbabweans; the restaurants near the falls serve it with nyama (meat) relish

Zambezi bream

Fresh tilapia-like bream caught daily from the Zambezi River—grilled with lemon, garlic and Zimbabwean herbs; river lodges and the boiling island restaurants source it same-day; the freshness and clean flavor is unlike farmed tilapia anywhere

Boma dinner experience

The Boma restaurant in Victoria Falls is an institution—African drum performances, traditional dance, a buffet of game stews, roasted warthog, sadza stations and vegetable relishes; insect tasting station optional; under stars beside the Zambezi
