For more than 20 years, the multi-award winning Victoria Falls Safari Lodge has been welcoming guests to Victoria Falls. Sitting high on a natural plateau with uninterrupted views over the bush, the lodge borders the Zambezi National Park, and is just four kilometres from the township and the mighty Victoria Falls themselves. Ideally positioned to enjoy activities at the Falls and in the gorge, it is far enough from the busy hub to indulge in the quiet beauty of the African bush. The 72 en-suite and air-conditioned bedrooms with private verandas, are spread along the plateau to maximise the views of the active waterhole below, which is often teeming with wildlife, particularly herds of buffalo and elephant. The lounge, bar and dining areas are spread over three levels with wooden beams supporting the thatched roofs and giving a true safari lodge feel. Facilities include the Makuwa-Kuwa restaurant, Buffalo Bar, swimming pool and sun deck, lounge with satellite television, guest library, small spa with select treatments and a hide at the waterhole. The popular Boma Restaurant – ‘Place of Eating’, is nearby on the property, specialising in traditional African food and entertainment, for an African culinary and cultural fun evening.
For small groups of friends or families travelling together wanting a little more space and privacy, the lodge offers another fabulous option at their spacious and stylishly furnished Victoria Falls Safari Suites. The two and three-bedroom luxury apartment-style fully serviced suites sit close by in the same grounds as the lodge giving guests the best of both with full access to the restaurants, activities and all the facilities available at the main lodge.
The more recent addition to the group is the exclusive and much smaller Victoria Falls Safari Club. Situated next door to the lodge this 20-room boutique hotel has a modern, spacious open-plan design and is elegantly decorated in earthy tones to blend harmoniously with its surrounds. Facing out towards the bush, all rooms have sliding glass doors opening out onto a private balcony with superb sunset facing views. All rooms have a complimentary minibar, laundry service and tea and coffee making facilities. The central guest area features a modern fine dining restaurant, lounge, bar and viewing deck. Facilities include a two-tiered swimming pool, sundeck and gazebo and a fitness room, and complimentary afternoon tea and pastries are served daily from 3.30pm to 4.30pm, followed with sunset cocktails, canapés and snacks served from 5.30pm to 6.30pm. A wonderful way to end your busy day after exploring all there is to see and do in Victoria Falls.
