Our VF Faves
Victoria Falls
We have a few favorite places that we love to share with our friends who come to visit Zimbabwe, so we decided to share them with you.
We’d love to hear about your experience, so stop by our bakery, and share your experience!
Hwange National Park
If you’re planning a trip to Zimbabwe, we highly recommend adding Hwange National Park to your itinerary. Home to the Big Five—lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino—it’s especially famous for its massive elephant herds, an unforgettable sight at waterholes. Bird lovers will be in awe of over 400 species filling the skies. Whether you stay in a luxury lodge or a rustic bush camp, every moment feels like a scene from a wildlife documentary. For a deeper connection to nature, walking safaris bring you even closer to the wild. Hwange isn’t just a safari—it’s an adventure into the heart of Africa you’ll never forget.
Dusty Road Restaurant
If you’re looking for an authentic taste of Zimbabwe, Dusty Road is an experience you won’t forget. Tucked away in Chinotimba, Victoria Falls’ oldest township, this place is so much more than a restaurant—it’s a celebration of local culture, flavors, and community. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be immersed in the energy of the township, with friendly faces, vibrant recycled décor, and the irresistible aroma of food cooking over open fires. Every dish is made the traditional way, full of rich, home-cooked flavor. But what makes Dusty Road truly special is its heart—dedicated to empowering women and uplifting the local community. It’s warm, soulful, and bursting with character. Make sure to try the crocodile kebobs—yum!
