In Zimbabwe, game meat can be found on almost any menu, but it's something of a delicacy in Zambia; superior free-range beef and chicken are available everywhere. The local bream, filleted or whole, is excellent, and the staple starch, a thick porridge similar to polenta—sadza in Zimbabwe and nsima in Zambia—is worth a try; use

The local bream, filleted or whole, is excellent, and the staple starch, a thick porridge similar to polenta—sadza in Zimbabwe and nsima in Zambia—is worth a try; use your fingers to eat it (you'll be given a bowl for washing afterward). Adventurous? Try macimbi or vinkuvala (sundried mopane worms) or inswa (flash-fried flying ants) during the flood season.
Meals are taken at regular hours, but during the week, restaurants close around 10. Dress is generally casual, but this part of Africa easily lends itself to a little bling, so you'll never be out of place in something more glamorous.
Available throughout the year whenever the water levels are low enough, this is a spectacular dining option. Livingstone Island is perched right on the edge of the void, where you'll dine at a table dressed with linen and gleaming silver on a delicious organic lunch (with salads) served by attentive waiters. You get there by boat (two engines, just in case). Brunch and afternoon tea are US$115 and US$155, respectively, and lunch is US$180, including transfers and a dip in Devil's Pool. The trips are run by Tongabezi Lodge, and there is a maximum of 24 guests.
Walking the stretch of red carpet alongside Locomotive 156 while it blows steam and rumbles in preparation for its journey is an ultimately exciting and romantic Vic Falls experience with a beautifully presented and meticulously prepared gourmet dinner. Dinner guests are seated in either the Wembley or Chesterfield dining carriage (both exquisitely restored). Depending on the day, the historic steam train either pulls you through a bustling shanty town, over the Sinde River Bridge, and then back through Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, or stops to watch the sunset on the magnificent Victoria Falls Bridge. And yes, the train gives right-of-way to giraffes, elephants, and any other plains game who might decide to cross the tracks during dinner!
