Eating Gluten Free in Victoria Falls National Park

We had a much easier time find gluten free meals in and around Victoria Falls. Our hotel, Nkosi, was able to accommodate gluten free options without incident. Some local establishments also offered gluten free options (and not just a salad with no croutons). The only thing that was getting to my husband at this point was the lack of sweets and we had to set off to find chocolate. Gluten free dessert is hard to come by in the African countries and is often offered as a bowl of fruit.

Victoria Falls National Park Travel Tidbits:

While Victoria Falls can be seen from two different countries, Zimbabwe and Zambia. We chose only to see Victoria Falls from the Zimbabwe side as it covers 75% of the viewing. The best way to see the falls in Zimbabwe is by entering their national park and walking along the path to all the best viewing points. We were quite impressed with the different viewing points and it seemed the farther we traveled down the paved path the more impressive the views became.

Couple of things to note:

There is a cost to get into the park. Recently it was increased to $50 for all international travelers. This is twice as expensive as the Zambia side, but the viewing is better. Who wouldn’t want the best viewing of one of the natural wonders of the WORLD?!?
There is a little café where you can enjoy drinks and a light meal.
Unless going in the dry season…YOU ARE GOING TO GET WET!
