A Fun, Authentic Evening in Victoria Falls
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!

Amazing entertainment and dinner
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.

The Boma Dinner and Drum Show: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Victoria Falls.
How much does The Boma Dinner and Drum Show cost?
+
Prices start at $92 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 The Boma Dinner and Drum Show take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 The Boma Dinner and Drum Show worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 45 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 The Boma Dinner and Drum Show?
+
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 The Boma Dinner and Drum Show suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book The Boma Dinner and Drum Show?
+
Around 16 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does The Boma Dinner and Drum Show 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 The Boma Dinner and Drum Show?
+
Included: Dinner; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: All drinks during dinner; and Cross border transfers for travellers from Zambia/ Livingstone. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does The Boma Dinner and Drum Show include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 6 listed pickup locations in and around Victoria Falls. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is The Boma Dinner and Drum Show 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 The Boma Dinner and Drum Show?
+
