We ended our 2+ week vacation at the Victoria Falls River Lodge. It was the best, most relaxing decision we could have made. We loved the fact that we arrived on a private boat, which was a very novel and impressive way to arrive at our lodge. The rooms were incredibly luxurious and spacious, from the massive in-room bath to... More

Right on the river edge, this is a great place to stay. The lodge is beautiful and the staff were very good too us. The rangers were exceptionally well trained and could give us a lot of information about the wildlife in the area, as well as the history of Zimbabwe. There is a lot to see, like hippos, elephant,...

A really lovely place to stay, right on the river edge and our room had a separate living area. Went on the Sunset Cruise expecting a few drinks and a sunset and got hippos and an elephant as well. Great friendly staff and lovely food completed the experience. Enjoyed the local bands with our evening meal and the Food and... More

...that it is not "minutes" from Victoria Falls as on the website - unless you define 35-40minutes as "minutes" (the "20 minutes" that is quoted at the Lodge just gets you to the road outside town; it is another 15-20 minutes further to the Falls). ...if you want to go out to dinner, it is $16pp for the car to...

Thank-you Kate 3717 for your review. Wild life in Africa is unpredictable. Animal sightings often have lots to do with luck - being at the right place at the right time. On our Face-book page you will see how many animals are often in camp - on a few occasions guests have been 'trapped' in their room as elephants were... More

Wow! Such a beautiful and magnificent setting. Perfect honeymoon destination and such fun. We were at the lodge for two days before we even wanted to see the mighty Victoria Falls. The staff are wonderful, very professional and add such a personal touch. We were taken fishing with a personal guide, the food was out of this world, and all... More

A fantastic three night stay at this luxurious lodge. Stayed in tent 2 just yards away from the Zambezi. Sunset cruise and dinner served on the jetty as the moon came up over the river, hippos bellowing. Walking safari, accompanied by George, was thrilling and made you aware of surroundings. Food and staff were first class in the way they... More

We stayed here as a relaxing way to unwind after a long flight to see the great spectacle of the falls. We never imagined that we would also have such a good safari experience. The lodge has no fences thank goodness as on our first full day our " tent" was surrounded by more than 30 elephants including very young... More

This is a lodge I would truly recommend. It is beautifully located, we had a stunning view over the river. The sunset boat tour was wonderful. The service is outstanding. We also went rafting one day which was fascinating. The tented chalets are very spacious and luxury. Thank you Karen for taking care of us so wonderfully!
