The Elephant Café

The Elephant Café Interacting with elephants on the banks of the Zambezi River while dining on African fusion food, created with wild and locally-sourced ingredients.
(444)

The guests’ experience begins when they board a jet boat to cruise upriver from Victoria Falls, keeping an eye out for wildlife in the national parks that border each side of the Zambezi River. But it is when they step out into the elephant sanctuary that the magic really begins. There they are greeted by elephants of all ages. Guests can stroke them, feed them, pose for photos with them — a once-

in-a-lifetime opportunity to interact this closely with elephants. Then, as they are invited up onto a beautifully-appointed deck suspended over the Zambezi River and handed a champagne cocktail, the guests’ attention gets pulled in a new direction. There are only enough tables for twenty-four guests at The Elephant Cafe. Each table is adorned with white linen tablecloths, sparkling glasses, and a singular view out across the river. The meal is prix fixe, so guests can sit back and relax over the delicious “bush gourmet cuisine” unique to The Elephant Café. This exclusive restaurant only uses wild and locally-sourced fresh ingredients, therefore its fine dining menu changes according to the seasonal produce that is available at any given time. Guests will experience a fine wine list paired with first-class cuisine of a quality rarely found outside major urban centres. Afterwards, they can linger over cappuccinos as they listen to the bush-speak of the animals and birds all around them, satisfied that this was an opportunity they could never experience anywhere else.
