It’s a lovely small hotel where everyone is so friendly and helpful. The room was delightful with full wrap around mossie nets, there is a ceiling fan and aircon. The food is delicious, can recommend the eggs Benedict for breakfast. The bar s also very pleasant.

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
