What to Expect
Safari is a bar on 10th Avenue in Bulawayo with a retro jazz feel, popular with an older crowd looking to unwind. Linda (August 2019) called it “the best place to wind down a hectic day in Bulawayo”, and Stanley (October 2018) found it “quite cosy and relaxed”, more like a cafe than a typical bar, with lighting Stanley called amazing.
Thursdays bring live music: Mpumelelo (January 2022) mentioned a live band called the Outfit, with discounted drinks on “Festive Thursdays”. Bongani (January 2023) called it a “Very good safe place with good security” that also takes international Visa and Mastercard.
One recurring ask is more heating in winter. Welly (January 2020) liked the ambience but wanted “more heating for clients” on cold nights. Safari is open daily from 08:00 to 23:00.

Quite cosy and relaxed bar that i could easily do any other day. It looks more like a cafe really and the mood is just mature and inviting. The lighting is amazing and the bar covers an entire end of the room.
