Victoria Falls River Lodge

The resort is an experience all by itself. Well appointed reception, excellent staff and service, rooms exceeded our expectations, clean, comfortable, high end dining by executive chefs, and right in the water so there are river tours and fishing available. Brand new safari vehicles took us to see the wild game in the National Park. Each room has its own cold plunge pool and we had two elephants drink from our pool, when we were lounging on the deck only 15 feet away!

A very special place , overall a fantastic experience- We travlled via the border crossing with Bottswana and our driver dropped us off at the meeting point which is on the Zambezi river or as Nic our guide renamed it “the Mighty Zambezi river “ and henwas right what a beautiful widw river ! We were collected by our guide for our stay “ Nic” he was very knowledgeable and engaging. He picked us up in a speedboat and 10 minutes later arrived at the lodge. Very smart arrival / reception area We were in room 7 which was excellent , v comfy bed , couch etc - for us it was out first experience of none permanent structures - they are huge and loads of space shower (s) bath , air con etc but you still have the experience of “glamping “ but very very much 5* !!! We were a little nervous about mosquitos etc but overall we did ok - you get bug spray etc Food was absolutely excellent , little disappointed only a couple of choices of wine , given the quality of the food We undertook 2 game drives , 1 river cruise and a private tour of vic falls - the highlights , sunset , falls, crocs and the hippos !!! ( nic found about 12 hoppos in 1 place) So why have we scored it only 4* / 5 2 reasons - whilst our guide tried their best we only had a small number of sitings of animals. That said we did see a Honey badger which was super cool . Perhaps it was us but the team were always super keen to ask if we were having a great time , was everything ok , we were asked 4 x at breakfast by different people of it was ok - that was repeated so many times - how was your boat ride , how was your game drive , etc etc you have a great lodge , with great people sometimes on vacation people like to chat to the person they are on vacation with Robert in the restaurant needs a shout out , a great genuine person who gets it right with your guests - james the guy who looked after our room for us Overall a great place / location and ideal if you want a memorable place to visit the falls which are a real wonder of the world , oh and did i say the food was fantastic - well done chef !
