Victoria Falls Safari Lodge Restaurant — African / International, Victoria Falls
The restaurant at Victoria Falls Safari Lodge is perched above a game-rich waterhole with spectacular views, offering grilled fresh bream and other local and international fare including crocodile simmered in red curry. The combination of the waterhole setting — where elephant, buffalo, and zebra regularly come to drink at sunset — and the cooking’s genuine quality makes it the most naturally spectacular dining experience available at the Falls.
The cooking takes the Victoria Falls ingredient landscape as its brief: the Zambezi bream prepared in the way that the fishing tradition of the region has been developing for generations, the crocodile in red curry that is the most distinctively Zimbabwean preparation on the menu, and the game meats of the surrounding Zambezi National Park that provide the kitchen’s most distinctively African offerings.
The wine programme draws on South African producers alongside the international selections that a safari lodge dining room demands.
Victoria Falls Safari Lodge Restaurant is the destination for evenings that want the full wildlife spectacle alongside cooking of genuine quality: the waterhole, the sunset, the wildlife, and the Zambezi bream together produce an experience that is specifically and memorably Zimbabwean.
