5.00That was so good. I could actually feel the spirit of Africa. The show has an actual great story, which is worthwhile and it does represent historical lifestyle and spirit of the local tribes. You can see how enthusiastic the actors are about the show, and how much effort they put in. However, it is important to remember that it is not a highly professional play, but it does show you the amount of life and energy of the local folks. Highly recommend. It charges you with that energy for a good portion of your trip.
Lovely

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!
