The Boma - Dinner & Drum Show

The Boma - Dinner & Drum Show combines a four-course dinner with an evening of traditional entertainment at the Victoria Falls Safari Lodge estate, around 3km from Victoria Falls city centre. Located at Stand 471b Squire Cummings Ave in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, the venue offers a social dining experience shaped by local food, music and cultural performance.

The meal begins with a platter of nibbles and campfire soup before moving to a braai buffet. The buffet includes a range of meats alongside local dishes, followed by a selection of desserts. Vegetarian and halal diners can be catered for, making the format suitable for mixed dining groups with different dietary requirements.

Entertainment forms part of the dinner rather than a separate stage show. Traditional dancing, storytelling and a fortune teller add to the evening, while interactive drumming gives diners an opportunity to take part in the performance. A mopane worm eating challenge offers an optional taste of local food culture, and mini face painting adds a playful touch.

The setting also includes cultural displays and activities beyond the meal. Traditional carvers work on site, and arts and crafts are available for purchase. Together, the food, drumming, dance and craft elements create a relaxed group experience with a strong connection to the region's cultural traditions.

The Boma suits travellers seeking dinner and entertainment in one evening, including visitors planning a Victoria Falls itinerary from Zimbabwe or Zambia. It works particularly well for organised groups, celebration meals and diners interested in experiencing local flavours and performance in a social setting. Reservations are strongly recommended, as the dinner show is a popular part of the Victoria Falls evening programme.
