My mother and I stayed at Victoria falls safari lodge in December 2013 for 5 nights and it was a highlight of our African trip. We traveled to Victoria falls hotel and numerous other hotels however the Victoria Falls Safari Lodge just had such a special and magical feel to it! It was buzzy with happy faces all around and people going out on tours/ activities which gave the lodge a vibrant feel however it was also perfect for enjoying a quiet and relaxing afternoon by the pool which was a saviour during the December heat!
There are a range of activities in which the staff at the lodge are more than happy to organise for you! We did the Victoria falls tour(a must), elephant back safari which was another incredible experience in itself, stanly and Livingston game park drive, vulture feeding which is done at the lodge. There are plenty of other activities however we were limited for time. If you don't feel like spending extra money on taking a safari drive you can observe a range of wild life from your room balcony, the main lodge viewing deck and pool side which all overlook a beautiful waterhole! We saw crocs, plenty of water hog, bird life, buck, and we were surprised with a large herd of elephants with young babies that were thoroughly enjoying a cool down at the waterhole!
The rooms were lovely, all we'll furnished with a beautiful African theme, the beds were extremely comfortable, bathrooms spacious and all round very clean and tidy, plenty of power points and tea/coffee/mini bar facilities and WIFI was great in the room and also in the main lodge dining and reception areas. Each room had a balcony overlooking the waterhole so you can constantly watch the animal activity from the comfort of your room!
All of the staff were extremely helpful and really went out of their way to ensure we had a pleasurable stay. We did tip as we were continuously impressed by the level of service we received. The food was outstanding and far exceeded our expectations, I would they recommend the warthog it was delicious!
Transfers to and from the airport were all organised for us and overall it was just a fantastic trip and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to travel to the Victoria Falls region.
