Excellent choice of accommodation
The lodge was everything we expected from the stay in Africa at the Victoria Falls.
The room was spacious, clean and decorated to make you feel you were in Africa.
The breakfast, lounge, and pool ambiance, coupled with very efficient service, makes this an excellent choice when staying at the Victoria Falls

THERE WAS NO FILTER COFFEE IN THE ROOM AND THE FILTER COFFE IN THE DINING ROOM WAS WAY TOO STRONG. I AM A COFFEE LOVER AND THIS WAS A SERIOUS PROBLEM FOR ME.
Also, there was no soap, shower gel etc - first hotel I have been to where
this is not provided. We asked for some, which was then brought to the room

Wunderschöne, gepflegte Anlage
Alles perfekt: Zimmer, Pool, Service, Restaurant. Nur etwas abseits gelegen. Wenn es sehr heiß ist besser ein Taxi ins Zentrum nehmen.

excellent hotel in Victoria Falls
Excellent new hotel. Room was wonderful. Big and spacious with comfortable bed. Resort is beautiful. Great tower with a sunset view. Pool is nice. Staff were friendly - Aubrey was very helpful. Restaurant is nice but somethings on menu not available and priced a little high for the local area. Definitely recommend staying here!

Amazing facility with an even more amazing staff. I highly recommend sipping on a cappuccino or hot chocolate while sitting in their 4 story lookout watching the sun rise/sun set.
