The Victoria Falls Hotel

The Victoria Falls Hotel's Livingstone Room is the fine-dining draw, a four-course menu reviewers rate as good value for the setting. Buddy (July 2026) paid “$60 per person for the four-course menu exclusive of drinks” and had “ostrich tartare, springbok shank, and chocolate tart”, calling the price “reasonable” given the view over the gorge and bridge. Colin (June 2026) called dinner there “the most elegant dining experience of our lives”, with maitre d' Simba's team gliding through the restaurant “with effortless grace”.

High tea is another highlight. Leo (July 2026) found it “very nice, in the British style but with Zimbabwean touches”, though noted “Noisy helicopters” overhead, and Shweta (March 2026) appreciated a “proper gluten free high tea option”. Breakfast gets singled out too, with Benjamin (October 2025) enjoying “the breakfast served in Stanley's Bar”.

Staff are named constantly across the reviews, more than at almost any other listing: porters Samson and Kingsley, hosts Sharon and Wilbert, and waiters Simba, Sydney, Beatrice and Webster all get individual thanks. Ryan (June 2026) warned that “gentlemen should not forget their jackets as the restaurant has a strict dress code” for the Livingstone Room.
