    Great Night Out

    A wonderful way to be emersed in Zimbabwean culture and food. We were entertained by singers, dancers and musicians and had an opportunity to gave a go on the drums ourselves. Food was excellent- tried warthog curry and crocodile curry. Good variety of wines.

    Very disappointing

    No response from the tour group. Took my money and never picked us up for the show. Or Dinner. Pretty sad busy practice.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback, and please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience you experienced. Unfortunately, we did not receive any booking confirmation or notification from Viator. The first messages we received were regarding your pickup, which came at the very last minute, making it difficult for us to coordinate the arrangement in time. We understand how disappointing this must have been. Please note that we have processed your full refund through Viator, and you should receive confirmation shortly. We truly value your feedback and regret that we missed the opportunity to serve you. Should you return to Victoria Falls, we would be happy to offer you a complimentary experience to make up for the inconvenience. Warm regards

    The irresistible drum beats at Boma

    The entrance reception is so amazing, showcasing Zimbabwean culture and dressing, you will get your own shawl to dress their way. Curio shop where you can get gifts or mementos. The Dinner itself was something else, Venison, Chicken, Fish, Pork, Seafood cooked to your perfection, drinks varieties were available, vegetables with different cooking methods . Everyone get a small drum towards the end of dinner. Dancing time approaches, in short we beat the drums until our palms couldn't take it but we could not stop beating them. Noisy and joyful we danced. This place need to be visited again

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the authentic Zimbabwean cultural experience at the Boma Dinner, Dance, and Drum Show. It's fantastic that you had a great time with the food, the variety of drinks, and the lively atmosphere with the drumming and dancing! We truly appreciate your enthusiasm and hope to welcome you back soon for another unforgettable experience. 🎉🥁 Best regards,

    The Drumshow VicFalls

    Had a fun, exciting and memorable experience. Food was just okay, the meat was a salty, burnt and hard to chew, potatoes were very hard to eat, but the dessert and salads were okay. The drumshow was worth it! Luckily for me I visited on a very packed evening

    Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience at the Boma Dinner, Dance, and Drum Show in Victoria Falls. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the drum show and found the evening exciting and memorable, especially with the lively atmosphere on a packed night. 🎶✨ We’re sorry to hear that the food did not meet your expectations. Your feedback regarding the meat and potatoes is valuable, and we will ensure it is passed on to the relevant team to help improve the dining experience for future guests. Thank you once again for your review, and we hope to welcome you back for an even better experience next time! 🙏 #VictoriaFalls #CulturalExperience #BomaDrumShow

    Wonderful welcome to Victoria Falls

    This was the first thing we did while staying in Victoria Falls, also our first night in Zimbabwe. The food was great, the drum performance engaging with audience participation, and the spirt appropriately festive. We felt it was good value for the price, and it does book out, although we were able to make a same day reservation after arrival. They accept credit cards for the main event, the vendors selling various souvenirs at the venue probably only accept cash, mostly USD preferred. Note that prices in Victoria Falls are much higher than in the rest of the country and adjust expectations accordingly.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience at the Boma Dinner, Dance, and Drum Show! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the food, engaging drum performance, and festive atmosphere. It’s great to know that you found the event to be good value for the price. Victoria Falls can be a bit pricier than other parts of Zimbabwe, but we're glad the overall experience was memorable. Your tips about reservations and payment options are incredibly helpful for future visitors! We hope to welcome you back to Victoria Falls soon! 🌍✨ #VictoriaFalls #BomaDinner #ZimbabweAdventure

    Victoria Falls Boma Dinner Dance Drum Show Experience: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Victoria Falls Boma Dinner Dance Drum Show Experience 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 Boma Dinner Dance Drum Show Experience 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 Victoria Falls Boma Dinner Dance Drum Show Experience worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.9/5 across 10 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 Boma Dinner Dance Drum Show Experience?

    +

    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 Boma Dinner Dance Drum Show Experience 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 Victoria Falls Boma Dinner Dance Drum Show Experience?

    +

    Around 4 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 Victoria Falls Boma Dinner Dance Drum Show Experience 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 Victoria Falls Boma Dinner Dance Drum Show Experience?

    +

    Included: 4 Course Traditional Dinner; Return Road Transfer from Hotels and Lodges within Victoria Falls Town; and Interactive Drum Show. Not included: Gratuity and Tips; Drinks And Beverages; and Items of personal nature. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Victoria Falls Boma Dinner Dance Drum Show Experience include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 35 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 Victoria Falls Boma Dinner Dance Drum Show Experience 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 Victoria Falls Boma Dinner Dance Drum Show Experience?

    +

    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.

    Is Victoria Falls Boma Dinner Dance Drum Show Experience wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible; and Transportation options are wheelchair accessible. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Victoria Falls Boma Dinner Dance Drum Show Experience if the weather is bad?

    +
