5.00Had a wonderful night of dance, music, and entertainment in this fabulous outdoor theatre in the heart of Victoria Falls watching Simunye: The Spirit of Africa. The choreography and dancing was very professional with so many talented dancers in the show! Very strong and acrobatic dance scenes that are impressive and so very expressive. The story was romantic, dramatic and heartwarming with a strong finish. A well spent evening and highly recommended. Cultural and classy in every way.
Great performance

5.00The experience was fabulous. The show could easily be on Broadway or Off-Broadway. It was uplifting and fun. I would highly recommend it, especially to those who don't want a 3-hour experience with dinner.
The Spirit of Africa- moves you - Epic!

5.00We have no idea what the show was about. True loves of theater why not see a production in the show in Zimbabwe. Completely blown away by the production, which was just approximately one hour one hour of power one hour of magical amazing story one hour you sure not to forget worth every penny and your time. If you’re there it’s a must!

5.00So good. Tight, snappy choreography, tremendous energy and rhythm, touching storyline with lots of comedic twitches, very effective stage props and set effects. In accented but understandable English. Just under 90 minutes with no intermission. Photos at the end!

5.00We went knowing nothing of the show but enjoyed the pre-show entertainment as well as the show itself. Performed in an outdoor undercover theatre in the heart of Vic Falls, there is a cafe for pre-show drinks & entertainment prior. The show itself is entertaining & despite some inability to fully understanding the lyrics & dialogue, the story context is clear. Very dynamic & rhythmic dancing. Nice to have no photos or video during the show, just the encore. Also opportunity to go on stage for photos with cast at end. With did with transport & 2 course dinner prior. Nice night out .
Great show
