Stayed here and Ilala during our trip. It is a fairly unique place with the restaurant overlooking a watering hole used by a variety of animals. The sunset from the deck is amazing. I think this was a better place than Ilala. I thought the food was better and the rooms were similar in quality. One advantage is that our... More

Location is descent and rooms are spacious but what this hotel really lacks is attention to detail. Staff is unattentive and there is a genuine feeling that you are bothering them when asked to do something as simple as bring down a few towels to the poolside area, which mind you took four times and over an hour to finally...

Dear Austin, I would like to thank you for the reveiw that has just been posted, I must apoligise for this poor attention to detail around the pool area, thank you for bringing this to our attention as nothing had been brought to either the attention of guest services or the duty manager. This matter has been dealt with. However... More

One evening a wonderful Thunderstorm with a lightning that lit up the sky broke out. We were seated in the restaurant where a yellow glowing light illuminated the watering hole before the storm. But with the lightning, the experience was surreal, and a crowd gathered in the restaurant and actually applauded the lightning storm. I'm not sure everyone agreed on... More

Waking up with the monkeys in the veranda was funny. Views are good, with animals coming to drink from the waterhole. More

What a surprise and a treat the day before christmas. Five local harmoney singers performed and sang with the guests leaving a very happy and memorable experience in... More

This hotel is by far the best experience we are having in Southern Africa. The premises and service are first class by all means.The food was very good at Their restaurants and the rooms very comfortable with all possible amenities but tv. They have a complimentary shuttle service every quarter to the hour going to the falls and town.Highly recommendable! More

The lodge exceeded our expections. The food was fabulous and the selection of wines excellent. The staff was courteous and the location absolutely beautiful. Victoria Falls was worth the trip as well as the evening Zambezi River Cruise. When in the town of Victoria Falls, make sure to visit the Elephant Walk Mall. Nday Jewelry where Christie B. and her...

After a very slow check-in process - during a power cut so their systems were down - we were advised that we had approx 20 mins to be ready for our Zambezi sunset cruise pick up. We asked one of the "traditionaly dressed porters" in the lobby to assist us with our bags as our room was down three flights... More
