"Ilala Lodge review"

2 nights Arrived 8 Oct 2010
"Very well positioned colonial style hotel with superb facilities and food and great staff.The swimming pool was very welcome in the 46 degree heat. The Ilana Hotel in Zimbabwe could not be faulted and on top of this we were impressed that there was very little harassment in the town when we wandered around."
