Boma dinner at Avani Victoria Falls Resort — an immersion in Zambian tradition

Business and leisure guests at Avani Victoria Falls Resort and The Royal Livingstone Hotel by Anantara can immerse themselves in a truly Zambian dining tradition with a boma dinner at the resort’s African themed restaurant, Mukuni Boma by Avani, when visiting the Vic Falls.

Sit under the stars, lounge fireside with a Zambian feast, enjoy live bands, traditional dancing and ground yourself to the beautiful Zambian rituals on the banks of the majestic Zambezi River.

The setting of the boma dinner depicts a Zambian village where guests sit under the stars and lounge fireside for an authentic boma meal, which is a traditional, open-air African dinner. When walking into the Mukuni Boma, guests are greeted by the tastes, sights, sounds and smells of Africa before being seated and invited to taste the local brew. A four-course menu consisting of Pan African food and game meat on barbeque is then served.

The real fun begins after dinner as guests are treated to an interactive traditional African drum show and performances. Traditional singers, djembe drum performers and expert Amakhezi traditional dancers spark the night with vibrant and energetic songs and dance. The engaging and welcoming atmosphere means guests can fully take part in the evening’s festivities by joining the dance and beating the drums to create an unforgettable experience.

For unforgettable experiences and events in rich African-style, the Mukuni Boma can host between 100 to 350 guests with African dining, and the rumble of drums accompanied by traditional dancers, which can also serve as an ideal activity to end off a team building, conference or group event at Avani Victoria Falls Resort. Teams can personalise their experience by booking the entire boma experience to themselves and immersing themselves in Zambian, song, dance and culture. “We know that business travel is no longer about just business. Travellers want to take full advantage of the opportunity to get out of the office setup on business, to experience something unique, fully immersive and rich in local cultures — our boma dining experience provides all that and more,” said Longa Mulikelela, hotel manager at Avani Victoria Falls Resort.

The boma dinner is open for all guests, including outside guests, on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday from 6:30-10.30 pm.
