    Night drive and dinner

    An amazing time seeing all sorts of animals. Well organized and my wife and son (8 years old) really enjoyed the safari which was made from our well informed guide. The 3 course dinner was unreal. Thumbs up from us.

    Night Game Drive

    Thoroughly enjoyed this night game drive. Bush was quite thick, so didn't see much game, but tremendous being under an African sky. The guide, Tendai, was excellent and very knowledgeable. Many thanks to the Ele-crew for the amazing dinner - best food we had in Zimb!

    Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so glad you enjoyed the night game drive and the African sky. While the bush can sometimes be thick, we’re happy to hear that Tendai made the experience memorable with his knowledge. We’ll be sure to pass on your thanks to the Ele-crew for the amazing dinner – we’re thrilled it was the best you had in Zimbabwe! We hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon!

    Great excursion! Sunset safari and bush dinner

    Three exhilarating hours in the national park, we saw loads of animals, elephants,giraffes, hyenas, buffalo, monkeys, beautiful birds and all types of deer/antelopes. Our guide Tam, was eagle eyed and spotted things long before we did, he was very informative with his knowledge of the animals. We then had a bush dinner in a private reserve, lovely food and service, a perfect way to end the game drive.

    Response from the operator: We’re so glad to hear you had such a fantastic game drive experience! It sounds like you saw an incredible variety of wildlife, and we’re thrilled Tam’s expertise made the experience even more special. Ending the day with a delicious bush dinner in the private reserve is the perfect way to unwind after an exciting adventure. Thank you for your feedback, and we hope to welcome you back for more adventures in the future!

    Night Game Drive in Zambezi National Park and Victoria Falls: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Victoria Falls.

    How much does Night Game Drive in Zambezi National Park and Victoria Falls cost?

    +

    Prices start at $159 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Victoria Falls usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Night Game Drive in Zambezi National Park and Victoria Falls take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Victoria Falls is not rushed.

    Is Night Game Drive in Zambezi National Park and Victoria Falls worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Victoria Falls, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Night Game Drive in Zambezi National Park and Victoria Falls?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Night Game Drive in Zambezi National Park and Victoria Falls suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Night Game Drive in Zambezi National Park and Victoria Falls?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Victoria Falls can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Victoria Falls and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Night Game Drive in Zambezi National Park and Victoria Falls start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Victoria Falls within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Victoria Falls?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Victoria Falls experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Guided Tour of the Falls (Zimbabwe side), Zambezi River Class IV-V White-Water Rafting from Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe & Zambia: Guided Tour of the Falls from Both Sides. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Victoria Falls?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Victoria Falls?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Night Game Drive in Zambezi National Park and Victoria Falls?

    +

    Included: Soft drinks, mineral water, local beers, wines, & 3-course meal are provided after night g; Professional guide equipped with first aid kits; and Transfer to and from any hotel or lodge in Victoria Falls Town. Not included: Government fees. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
