Additional Information

Take part in a cultural city tour through Chinotimba and Mkhosana township, notable areas in Victoria Falls town established back in 1904. Chinotimba resonates ‘harmonious coexistence.’ Engage in an evening tour illuminated by city lights for you to marvel at the town’s nocturnal beauty. Our services include picking up clients to visit the age-old vegetable market and beer hall that signposts the city’s historical inception and timeline. Interact with the locals and enjoy the ride catching sight of the oldest medical facility in town, and the home for the elderly. There’s also a hospital visit as well as a look into the city’s nightlife - the night clubs. Mkhosana township is a city extension originally designated as a national park for wildlife. However, due to the burgeoning tourism industry, local authorities repurposed the area for resident occupancy. A home-cooked meal awaits, offering a taste of Africa’s culinary delights. Socialize with the host family, sharing exhilarating stories about family life, kids, and neighbors. It’s all about the authentic African family experience.

  • Children must be accompanied by an adult
  • Feel free to buy gifts for give aways to kids and local people

Incredible Experience! - We didn't know what to expect when we signed up for the home hosted dinner. We just wanted to have the village/family experience and stumbled upon this gem. It was educational, fun, and a great way to learn about local family and traditions! The food was so good. Loved everything about the experience.

Amazing experience with a wonderful family. - Nkue the tour guide, picked me up from my lodge and drove me around some of the townships where he grew up in Vic Falls. Telling me about his time growing up in the area and showing me the local markets where ingredients of the meal where bought. Nkue and his family were very welcoming and happy to answer any questions about their life. The meal was delicious and lovingly prepared by his wife. I am a vegetarian and they were able to accommodate this without me feeling I missed out on what the family may typically eat. I had a wonderful time and I can not recommend this activity enough, especially if you like me want to experience something that is not your typical tourist activity and eat some home made food.

Great to meet an authentic Zimbabwean Family - Got to have a brief tour around the area and a very tasty dinner and conversation with a local family. Would recommend for solo travelers.
