Victoria Falls

Zimbabwe

May 28, 2024

Hello.

Welcome to the Lookout Café. 

The Café seats 260 visitors and is open for breakfast, lunch, snacks, and dinner.

The restaurant sits on the edge of a rim high above the Batoka Gorge.  The Gorge lies below Victoria Falls. 

Carved by the Zambezi River, the Batoka Gorge runs more than 120 km (75 mi) long with vertical walls that are on average four hundred feet high.

The Zambezi water levels fluctuate up to 20m (65 feet) between the wet and dry season.

Today from above, as we approach winter in the Southern Hemisphere, the river appears nothing more than a swift moving stream.

But the Batoka Gorge itself?

Brilliant!

Grand!

By the way, the food at The Lookout Cafe is delicious.

I was not so adventurous so I chose the Roasted Eggplant & Cous Cous Salad instead of the Pickled Crocodile Salad. 

But for the main course I opted for the Taste of ZIM - Braised Game Meat. (See captions on photos.)
