5.00What a stunning show and lovely evening spend with the artists perfoming the Simunye show ! The pre-show was already fantastic, and we were amazed by the production quality of the show itself. From costumes to quality of choreography and singing, you are transported in this lovely tale from start to finish. A great alternative activity to attend in Victoria falls, for all age groups. I hope to come back and see the show again !

5.00This was a wonderful show. The energy and talent of the cast was amazing. It was an entertaining evening showcasing a local production and performers. The singing particularly was brilliant. The most impressive thing about the show is that the cast made up of people who live in Victoria Falls are not drawn from professionally trained singers, dancers and actors. The standard of the performance is extraordinary and we thoroughly enjoyed our evening.
An absolutely must see. ...

5.00This is a great show telling the story of a young warrior finding his way by taking a different path from his family and tribe. It is a well produced, high energy show with a talented cast of dancers, actors and singers. Do yourself and travelling partners a favour and see this when you are in Victoria Falls. It is as good as anything you will see in any major city.
