Lookout Cafe

Top choice in Victoria Falls (town)


A stunning location overlooking Batoka Gorge. Enjoy views of the bridge and the Zambezi river while tucking into a burger or crocodile kebab, or a cold drink on its open-air deck or grassy lawn terrace. It's operated by Wild Horizons, so you'll get the added entertainment of watching daredevils take the plunge or soar across the gorge.
