First launched in 1992, The Boma has long been a cornerstone of Victoria Falls cultural and culinary scene, offering visitors an immersive evening of traditional Zimbabwean food, live drumming, dance and storytelling. In 2025, that legacy reached new heights, with 80 404 guests dining at The Boma during the year an average of 220 covers every night for 365 consecutive days.
While previous high-performing months were recorded in 2023 and 2024, the numbers achieved in 2025 were unprecedented in the restaurants history, reflecting strong demand for Victoria Falls as a destination and the continued relevance and appeal of experiential dining products that connect travellers with local culture.
The record-breaking year was driven by a combination of passionate teamwork and thoughtful product enhancements introduced over the past two years. These included striking new staff uniforms, refreshed entertainment elements that further elevate the drumming and dance performances, and carefully considered menu additions that resonate with guests. These updates have reinforced The Bomas reputation as a must do experience for first-time visitors and repeat travellers to Victoria Falls.
