    Great experience with a wonderful guide!! Sunset and evening animal viewing was so cool!!

    via Tripadvisor

    Martin_D · July 2026

    A great night out!

    This was a lovely evening driving through the game reserve while the sun sets. Plenty of game to see, particularly before it gets dark. After that we rely on hand held floodlights to pick up reflections of animals eyes. Unfortunately, one of the volunteers holding the floodlights seemed to think aiming at the trees would be best! Our meal was at an elephant sanctuary, where we were told of the work they do, and we enjoyed a barbecue under the stars, which was delicious. The knowledge of the guide is huge! There was nothing about the wildlife he didn't know! My only criticism is all the driving to the main entrance of the northern part to pay our entrance fees, them driving Al the way to the southern side for the game drive. It's a shame they don't arrange for us to pay the fees beforehand to save wasting so much time driving about. Overall a great evening out and I would definitely recommend it.

    A great game drive - but slow the speed of driving down a little

    A nice game drive with a guide who really knew how to interpret the behavior of the animals seen - including an aggressive male elephant - and who handled the situation appropriately. Enjoyed the sundowner drink and nibbles. The dinner was tasty and abundant and washed down with a good glass of wine. Having done many game drives before - my reason for downgrading to 4* was purely because it seemed our driver forgot he had passengers in the rear of the vehicle when trying to get us to dinner and forgot about the corrugated poor road conditions. If he had slowed down a little he would have got a 5* for this tour.

    Stunning scenery and wildlife!

    Incredible early evening and night safari in Zambezi National park. The large herds of elephants and buffalo were super impressive! The meal was exceptionally good as well!

    Night Safari Adventure with Bush Dinner: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Night Safari Adventure with Bush Dinner cost?

    +

    Prices start at $165 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 Safari Adventure with Bush Dinner take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 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 Safari Adventure with Bush Dinner worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 5 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 Safari Adventure with Bush Dinner?

    +

    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 Safari Adventure with Bush Dinner suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Night Safari Adventure with Bush Dinner?

    +

    Around 2 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Night Safari Adventure with Bush Dinner 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 Safari Adventure with Bush Dinner?

    +

    Included: Transfers to and from the park; English speaking guide; and 3 course dinner. Not included: National park fees; Items of personal use; and VAT. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Night Safari Adventure with Bush Dinner include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 46 listed pickup locations in and around Victoria Falls. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Night Safari Adventure with Bush Dinner offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Night Safari Adventure with Bush Dinner?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    What happens to Night Safari Adventure with Bush Dinner if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
