HARD hike but good hike.
We did the Bakota Gorge hike & sunset bush dinner. Booked thru Mpala guest and adventure farm & Try Rafting tours. They picked us up at our lodge and drove us thru “rural villages” out to the gorge. You can choose a hike along top the gorge ridge line or descend down in to the gorge approx 1,000 ft and hike along the river returning up a different trail. The hike down to the gorge is NOT for everyone. It’s steep, it’s uneven, there’s some rock scrambling and ladders. Beautiful if you can do it! We enjoyed it even though we were slow. Guide was patient with us. The hike back up was a lot of bush whacking almost thru tall grasses though much of which was taller than me at 5 ft tall. There was a trail but tall grasses on either side. I assume the hike along the ridge line was easy but wouldnt be as pretty? Ended with a private dinner made by a local and served atop the gorge with the Zambezi River below and sun setting in the distance. Beautiful afternoon and very romantic /private. Guide was patient with our slow speed. He wasn’t knowledgeable though when I asked questions. Kate the tours coordinator was the best to work with of all tour operators we worked with while planning our 16 day African adventure. So helpful answering all my many questions! Thank you for a beautiful afternoon.

Gorge sunset hike. Hardest walk vertically down the gorge! Up is easier than down! Great views and dinner after.
Very challenging hike not for the feint hearted! Going down was the most challenging. My guide was very kind and patient as I was very slow! Amazing views. Dinner was delicious after in a local village in the middle of nowhere. Dinner was by torchlight! Recommended if you are good with heights and pretty fit!
Response from the operator: Thank you for hiking with us!

Why this scores 58
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Victoria Falls Batoka Gorge Sunset Hike & Gorge Side Dinner: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Victoria Falls.
How much does Victoria Falls Batoka Gorge Sunset Hike & Gorge Side Dinner cost?
+
Prices start at $120 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 Victoria Falls Batoka Gorge Sunset Hike & Gorge Side Dinner take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 Victoria Falls Batoka Gorge Sunset Hike & Gorge Side Dinner worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 2 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 Victoria Falls Batoka Gorge Sunset Hike & Gorge Side 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 Victoria Falls Batoka Gorge Sunset Hike & Gorge Side Dinner suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 7. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 6-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Victoria Falls Batoka Gorge Sunset Hike & Gorge Side Dinner?
+
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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Victoria Falls Batoka Gorge Sunset Hike & Gorge Side 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 Victoria Falls Dinner Cruise on the Zambezi River, Victoria Falls Theatre Featuring Simunye: The Spirit of Africa, Zambezi River Class IV-V White-Water Rafting from Victoria Falls. 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.
