Wow! Simply incredible. Our accommodations delivered everything we expected and more. We stayed in Lodge 23, which was a spacious villa type lodge. We had 2 adults and 3 children, and had more than enough space. What we loved most was being so close to the wildlife. It is important to be mindful of the baboons, wild boar, and other animals surrounding the property, but it was such an incredible experience to have them lounging on our back patio just feet away. The only thing that could top the surroundings and accommodations would be the staff. I would like to give special thanks to Collen, who worked as a waiter at the Buffalo restaurant, and John the Baptist, who is a shuttle driver. Collen was such a joy to see each day and always made sure we had everything we could have needed or wanted during our stay. Each dining experience was superb. John the Baptist ensured safe transport to and from our lodge each night, and had the most interesting stories. All made us feel right at home. A million thanks! We hope to visit again someday!…

We recently visited Victoria Falls and stayed at Lokuthula Lodge. We had no idea what we were in for. The Lodges themselves are an architectural wonder, you are within the Vic Falls National Park so Warthogs and Monkeys are you nearest neighbors. You need to keep this in mind when moving about. Breakfast and Dinner are available at a Safari Lodge with a view of a water hole where animals and birds appear regularly. The Boma Restaurant is also on site which is a marvelous very African experience with great food, local artists, Drummers and Dancers, be warned audience participation is a key ingredient of what makes this work so well. The staff were great and helpful and friendly once we broke the ice. We would strongly recommend Lokuthula if you are looking for a genuine African experience.…

Dear Owen Thank you for your feedback and the great reviews . I was an honor to host you in our wonderful Estate . We hope that you captured all the tastes, sounds and sights of Africa , so that you may share them with your family and friends maybe they will love to have the same experience. Even to the Guests who are yet to stay or dine with us i can assure them that the Boma Dinner has an extensive selection of meat, game dishes, vegetarian options and decadent desserts, Its even a fantastic option for group welcome or farewell dinners, as well as special celebrations. We are looking forward to hosting you and your friends on your next visit. You may even try the Victoria Falls Safari Suites as they have a similar family orientation but they are available on a bed and breakfast basis instead. Together with the Africa Albida team, we wish you well. Please call again

An excellent family vacation in lodges located in the National Park where animals can be seen up close in their natural environment. The lodges are relaxing and have all amenities, and easy access to activities including game watching over a water-hole, swimming pool, and excellent resturants. Wonder experience at Bomas.

These are lovely stand-alone lodges with everything for our 3-day self-catering stay. Out of town (so feel very secure) but walking distance to Safari Lodge and Boma restaurant. Probably better if you have own transport. Staff very friendly and willing

I brought my family to the lodge for five nights, overall stay was excellent and I particularly liked the staff assistance on activity bookings, pick ups and drop. Staff were friendly and had very good customer services, however more information could have been related to me regards house equipment like dryer iron and ironing board. The Buma was a bombshell, quite interesting and intertaining loved it. The discount for residence was very appreciated. I live in Australian and would definitely come back, keep up the good work

Our trip to the stunning Victoria Falls, one of the seven wonders of the natural world, was made all the more memorable by our two-night stay at the beautiful Lokuthula Lodges. Situated just a few minutes outside of the small town of Victoria Falls, with free transfers running in either direction every two hours, the self-catering lodges are situated in the grounds of Victoria Falls Safari Lodge, which guests can use and where meals are served. The bar and restaurant here are perched over a beautiful open expanse, with a waterhole drawing plenty of kudu, marabou storks, impala and other wildlife. The lodges themselves at Lokuthula are extremely spacious and well suited to a whole family. The food at the MaKuwa-Kuwa restaurant at Safari Lodge is exceptional, so make sure to grab at least one evening meal here overlooking the waterhole. And the breakfasts here have pretty much everything you could possibly want. Eoin & Alessandra, London…

Lokuthula Lodges are amazing!! We stayed for four nights as part of our trip to Zimbabwe and had the most fabulous time. The rooms were clean and comfortable and it was wonderful to see the wildlife so close to the lodges. The beds were very comfy, we had the best sleep and it was lovely wakening up to the sound of the animals. The Lodges are an easy walk to the main Vic Falls Safari lodge where we had the most delicious breakfast with an amazing view, and a stay at Lokuthula wouldn't be complete without visiting the Boma Dinner and Drum Show with its delicious food, and fun and lively entertainment. Lokuthula Lodges exceeded our expectations and we only wish that we could have had more time there. We would like to say a huge thank you to all the staff who were so friendly and helpful, they helped to make our stay at Lokuthula a most memorable one.…
