빅토리아 폴스 리버 로지

After 18 hours travelling we finally arrived in Victoria Falls airport, and were met by our driver in a comfy mini-bus, where the two of us were cheerily transferred in 30 minutes to the boat that would ultimately, 15 minutes later, take us to the hotel. We were met with a smiling and welcoming team and whilst our luggage was seamlessly whisked away to our room, we completed our check-in in relaxed comfort of the open hotel lobby in very comfy chairs! We were soon whisked away by buggy (recommended and advised - we saw later to/from our room a tribe of baboons and a hippo in the grounds, so always best to be escorted!), to our room. We were incredibly lucky to have stayed in the expansive and luxurious Rapids Villa suite, a three / four bedroom multi-levelled and very large villa, with indoor and outdoor bathrooms, seating both indoor and outdoor for 10+ people, as well as sweeping views of the Zambezi river from two large bedroom decking areas as well as the main decking / viewing point off the lounge area. There were a variety of seating options, from deck chairs, sofa's, swing chairs, bar stool or sunbeds. The room had everything you could need, coffee machines in every room, ice maker, fridges in all the rooms, 2 large wine fridges and a huge well stocked high end bar, most of it included with some high end brands at a supplement. The bedrooms had ample storage space, wardrobes and shelves galore and you could want for nothing. The views were to die for and whilst we have travelled the world extensively in 5 star properties, this has to be the biggest room we have ever stayed in with the most breath-taking of views. Hippos would wake us up in the morning and swim right past, birds would swoop by, and elephants would graze and play in the water right outside our decking area. We were often just sitting there in awe of the majesty of it all not wanting to move. The property itself was spread over and along the Zambezi river with a variety of views, and I believe the higher numbered rooms (especially 15 & 16, which were just beyond our villa) had a more open view of the river. The main dining and reception area was only a 5 minutes buggy ride away where we would have our meals. Breakfast was a A La Carte selection and a small buffet, all good quality and plenty to choose from. Lunch was also good, whilst dinner alternated from the main dining area A La Carte to a BBQ type dinner in the nearby bar and dining area. Here, things were freshly cooked, not too much variety but good quality. There was a couple of salads and 2-3 hot options and we even ventured into Crocodile Curry (yes, similar to chicken!). With the main dining, the menu was not too expansive and was repeated every other day that we saw which limited our choice, but you could not fault the quality and taste and we always looked forward to meal times. Overall, the main thing apart from our room that stood out, was the level of service. Everyone seemed so happy in their job, the m

From the moment we arrived, this Glamping tent was pure magic. Set right on the banks of the Zambezi River, we were treated to breathtaking sunsets, the sounds of hippos at night, and the peaceful rhythm of the river flowing by. The tent itself was next-level — spacious, beautifully styled, with all the creature comforts (yes, even hot showers and comfy beds!) while still letting you feel connected to nature. Falling asleep to the sounds of the wild and waking up to sunrise over the water was something we’ll never forget. And the food – wow. Every meal was fresh, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. From breakfast by the river to candlelit dinners under the stars, the dining experience was just as memorable as the setting. The staff were warm, welcoming, and went above and beyond to make our stay special. Whether it was a freshly prepared meal, a boat ride, or simply sharing stories around the fire, every moment felt meaningful. If you're after adventure and luxury, this is the place. We didn’t want to leave!

The place is unbelievable beautiful, a small island in the middle of the river Zambezi that is visited by elephants and hippos. The views are just incredible. The rooms are just perfect, food is delicious and the personnel is so amiable. Could not have been better!!! Would love to go back!

This Lodge gets a 5 and more. The accommodation weee stunning, the food delicious, but the best part was the staff and service. Our guides, butler and staff took excellent care of us!! Wish I could have stand a little longer. If you want to be spoiled this is the place for you!

My wife and I stayed for 3 nights and this property exceeded our expectations. From the actual property, the service, the staff and food were nothing but exceptional. Our luxury tent was huge right in front of the Zambezi river. This property does not have any fences, so at any time you can have Elephants, Baboon, Impalas and/or lions pay you a visit.

Excellent lodge nestled along the Zambezi. Accommodations are very comfortable and every staff member goes out of their way to ensure guests have a memorable stay. The entire lodge is situated inside the Zambezi National Park, so animals roam freely. Elephants, monkeys, warthogs, and many other animals passed by our unit every day and both the sunrize and sunet boat safaris were incredibly relaxing and allowed us to see wlidlife, including hippos on land along the banks.
