After preparation and during the cooking process the guest is taken on a upper Zambezi River Canoe or Raft Drift with experienced guides in the Zambezi National Park, after which they are dropped off back at the Pure Africa Waterfront, where they will be enjoy a 3 course meal with their “POT” as the main course.

Take yourself back in time to the early 1900’s and travel from the Victoria Falls Railway Station along the same route as the early trains, onto the magnificent feat of engineering, the Victoria Falls Bridge. As you stand on this bridge and marvel at the spectacular views of Victoria Falls, take in the realization that the same engineers and crew gazed upon the same views every day as they toiled to build this bridge from either side of the gorge, eventually meeting in the middle. Then visit the museum for an entertaining recount of the building of the bridge.
