What a lovely place...a gorgeous series of thatched buildings overlooking a significant watering hole (frequented by herds of elephants, buffalo, guinea fowl, baboons.. and so much more)... an architectural award-winning design and lovely and accommodating staff. As we were celebrating our anniversary they upgraded us to a deluxe suite, two floors, fabulous views, and the nicest bathroom in any hotel... More

Very nice place with exceptional service. Restaurants were very good but at times, very busy. The property is beautiful and it is on a watering hole. Only disappointment was that we had a room booked that was supposed to be on the waterhole and two floors. We actually had a very nice room but without the view of waterhole. Of... More

Stayed for 3 nights in mid April. After two days of traveling to reach Victoria Falls, the Safari Lodge was an amazing place to land. From the welcome juice to the landscape, warthogs munching on grass and the waterhole from balcony. It was like a parade of animals outside the entire time. Always a exciting surprise to look out and... More

I have just enjoyed a very pleasant stay at the Lodge which gives excellent value for money with comfortable accommodation, great food with views of a stunning waterhole from both our room balcony or the bar and restaurant. In the distance is the spray of Victoria Falls, only 10 minutes away. At the lodge, you don't hear the noise of... More

Thank you for your generous review and for emphasising our sublime location that "takes the biscuit" at Victoria Falls. You make a very interesting observation that we had not added to our "list of benefits" for our guests - so little or no noise from pesky helicopters as opposed to all the lodges in or near the town. It is... More

We stayed at this very luxury lodge and it is truely a safari style experience without the campsite! If you have extra dollars somewhere, then this is the accommodation for you, but we discovered that although the presentation of the food is very attractive, the price tags (for average income people) gives one a severe heart burn and for people...

Thank you for the great review of our lodge and for your very apt description that Victoria Falls Safari Lodge reflects the style without the campsite. yes, we're certainly in harmony with nature here but with inspiring vistas and a majestic piece of never-ending wilderness.

The lodge is located about 5-10 mins from the center of Victoria Falls town, but as the town is full of tourist shops and is not scenic, you are not missing anything by not being located in town. In fact, you probably benefit from being slightly further away and the hotel runs a free shuttle into town every hour. The... More

Being fortunate enough to live in Zambia, I have had the opportunity to visit many lodges and have to admit the the Victoria Falls Safari Lodge rates highly. We dropped in for a quick lunch on the deck overlooking the patio and ended up staying much longer than anticipated. It is no wonder that the Lodge is reknown for the... More

Thank you Mark, you make some interesting observations. We are also aware of quite a number of lodges that really should not use the word "safari" in their names. They do so, of course, to entice visitors when they don't actually provide the "safari" experience. We are enormously privileged to be just 4 kms out of the buzz of the... More
