What to Expect
The Rainforest Cafe sits at the Visitors Centre, right where the Victoria Falls walk lets out, and reviewers treat it as the natural stop for food or a drink afterwards. Maria (September 2026) had the berry smoothie bowl and called it “the best i’ve ever had”, while David (July 2026) found “good food and drink options at a very reasonable price”.
Crocodile turns up on more than one plate. Rajesh (April 2026) tried the crocodile strips and described them as “crispy outside, soft inside, and tasted mildly like chicken with a slight gamey flavour”, more a once-only dish than something to order every visit. Lara (March 2026) preferred the ostrich samosas over the vegetable spring rolls, with Anderson singled out for prompt service. Not every plate lands: Clement (2025) enjoyed the panini but noted the fries were not crispy.
The setting gets almost as much attention as the food, described more than once as feeling like a treehouse among warthogs and monkeys. Jackie (June 2018) watched a monkey steal bread from a neighbouring table before settling in with a bottle of rosé and a croc wrap Jackie “LOVED”.

perfect spot right after the victoria falls walk (zimbabwe side), the food is surprisingly so tasty (you might think it’s a touristy cheap place) we had the berry smoothie bowl it’s the best i’ve ever had everything was so fresh.
★★★★★
We visited Rainforest Cafe in Victoria Falls and ordered the crocodile strips and veggie brekkie. The crocodile strips were a unique experience—crispy outside, soft inside, and tasted mildly like chicken with a slight gamey flavour.
★★★★☆
This cafe at Victoria Falls is an excellent option for a post falls snack or meal. We ordered vegetable spring rolls and ostrich samosas, both tasty, especially the samosas. Anderson was attentive and prompt with his service.
★★★★☆
Situated at the end of the Victoria Falls viewing path, it is quite convenient for taking a rest after viewing the falls. The menu is very typical of the restaurants in this area with similar prices. I ordered a panini sandwich and my friend had a burger.

A monkey jumped on the table next to us and stole bread from the couples lunch. So I assume he ran away to find Aladdin and share the bounty 🐒 But really, this spot was great for a bite to eat and a bottle of rosé after getting drenched head to toe at the falls.
