The Lookout Cafe
Perched on the edge of the Batoka Gorge, this open air cafe is one of the favourites in Victoria Falls. Spectacular views of the gorges and Zambezi River below plus so much more, make the Lookout a special place for more than just a meal.

Location of The Lookout - 120m above the Zambezi rapids
The Lookout Cafe has fast become one of the favourite spots for both locals
and international guests. The view alone is enough to call you back over and
over again. Perched on the edge of the Batoka gorge with the
Zambezi rapids
raging more than 100m below, this beautiful spot has views of the gorges, the Victoria Falls Bridge and the spray of the Falls
themselves.
Located a short distance away from the
Victoria Falls Rainforest entrance,
and a stones throw away from where the
high-wire
activities are done. Diners can watch adrenalin junkies on the activities
such as the gorge swing, zip line and flying fox.
The menu at the Lookout has received rave reviews, and with dishes such as Warthog Kebab
(yes real wild warthog meat), Crocodile Kebab (yes, real croc meat), Sherry-infused Rack of Rib or Ostrich Fan Fillet Kebab, The Lookout offers fabulous and
filling meals. Platters and snacks are also available for those who want
something light with a cold beer, cocktails or wine while enjoying the fresh breeze
and the view.
