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

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

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

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.

wish I could give no stars!! Waited in the hotel lobby all evening - sent messages to vendor via Viators rapp and no response. Even sent a message 4 hrs prior to pickup reconfirming location and time - never a response. Contacted Viator help chat while waiting and they never got a response either. Wasted an evening of vacation. I did get to go the following day by booking through our hotel ( cheaper than Viator which surprised me) . Show and food were wonderful. Glad I went. waiting now for my refund request to be honored by Viator

Was a fun experience, got to try alot of traditional foods which was new. The food was all well presented and tasted amazing which was a great experience. Good service and the different performances made it fun and interactive. Good service from staff. Drinks and gratuity is a separate charge.

Overall I would say that we enjoyed our experience at the Boma dinner. It is definitely a dinner theater production, and it is an entertaining one! It is certainly geared towards tourists and, having been to several of these over several countries in sub- Saharan Africa, was not really a demonstration of the culture and local heritage. That said, I dont think that's what they were going for: they're going for a fun and entertaining time rather than an exemplar of Zimbabwean heritage. But it was a very lively and entertaining drum show that encouraged a lot of audience participation. They gave a drum to every single person in the audience, and they taught you how to drum along with them. This would be fun for all ages. The food itself was extremely well done, and we really appreciated that they had it buffet style so that you could go back and get some of your favorites as opposed to being a set plate dinner where you could not really pick and choose what you wanted. We had some picky eaters in our group, and they found plenty to eat that they raved about. The venue also had game meat available for you to try if it was your 1st time: the night we went, it was kudu, impala and buffalo to choose from. The salad bar was impressive with its Variety , and they had a lot of local dishes and sauces to choose from, which was a lot of fun to try. For the price, we were surprised that soft drinks were not included. That said, they were not very expensive and were only $2 each. But still, one would think that for the high price of the dinner, at least 1 soft drink per person or a water for the table would have been included in the price. Overall this is a fun theater production that any newcomer to Africa would enjoy. It would be great to bring guests to, and the amount of food is quite impressive. Bring some earplugs if you have sensitive hearing! It can definitely get loud :)
