3 nights Arrived 25 Oct 2022
"Beautiful hotel.
Staff very helpful and welcoming.
Fabulous breakfast buffet.
Great swimming pool.
We tried the exclusive dining experience which was fun. Fortunately the men had trousers and shirts and I had a dress so we were allowed in!
Very comfortable rooms.
Falls themselves were stunning.
We very much enjoyed the helicopter ride over the Falls.
My younger son and I went zip wiring which was fun and particularly well run and my older son and my husband went white water rafting which they thoroughly enjoyed." See all these reviews: 8n in Botswana; 3n in Zimbabwe

"Victoria Falls Hotel review"
2 nights Arrived 15 Sep 2022
"Great place to start a safari trip, fabulous location with a view of the water vapour from the falls from the gardens. As expected, this is a grand old colonial style hotel, really interesting, great food and service but maybe a little tired around the edges.
We really enjoyed staying here , ate at both the Jungle Junction ( excellent) and did the full Livingstone room dinner ( had to get dispensation not to wear jackets and ties) but it was a super evening. Well worth dragging a pair of heels across Africa for!
Loved the warthogs on the lawns, less enamoured by the baboons …." See all these reviews: 11n in Zimbabwe

"We found the Hotel offered an excellent level of service and quality in both amenities, food and drink.
The colonial look and feel of the hotel in the most amazing location with 5 star treatment was definitely one of the highlights of our trip, not to be missed." See all these reviews: 11n in Zimbabwe
