Voted the best Safari Lodge in Zimbabwe for 23 years running, the world-famous Victoria Falls Safari Lodge offers easy access to the iconic Victoria Falls, coupled with a wildlife experience that is truly unrivalled. Now in its 25th year of welcoming guests, the Lodge is built on a plateau overlooking the Zambezi National Park with endless unspoilt views to the horizon, just four kilometers from the Falls. This is the only sunset facing hotel in Victoria Falls, and the newly-renovated rooms and balconies are built up above a central waterhole which attracts herds of buffalo, elephant, giraffe, zebra, as well as night-time predators, such as lion and leopard. Our warm and personable staff are our greatest pride. Past guests frequently comment on our team's sublime hospitality and seamless delivery. The main areas of the lodge, such as the MaKuwa-Kuwa restaurant and the homely Buffalo Bar, are rich in ambience and also overlook the central waterhole, where drinks and dinners are often shared with wildlife meandering down to the water each day to quench their thirst.

What a wonderful family experience, full of “first times” for us and our kids!! First of all, COLLEN was amazing for service! He served well -created drinks, provided wonderful suggestions for some adventure and was beyond friendly and patient with our large party of 13 people. The watering hole on the property drew a family of 5 elephants for afternoon viewing- it was awesome! There were nice menus and a build your own Bloody Mary table for brunch :) Thank you so much VFSL, and especially COLLEN for providing us such a wonderful time!

Excellent accommodation, good food and superb customer service especially with Noku the supervisor and Mr. Muzzone reservation manager. The rate includes the dinner and show BOMA. My favorite bonus is the heavenly massage. It was very good. The big surprised is the feeding of the vultures at 1PM daily, hundreds of birds come daily for their food frenzy from the restaurants owned by the lodge. My best trip, I like to visit and stay again at the Victoria Falls Safari Club.

What an amazing place to spend a few days. This hotel overlooks a watering hole so we were able to enjoy meals and cocktails while watching buffalo, elephants, monkeys and warthogs. The hotel is immaculate, and the staff is very friendly. Our package included the boat ride on the river , a visit to Victoria Falls ,an a la cart dinner and the boma dinner. The boat ride was on a luxury boat and included drinks and snacks. We saw many hippos, crocodiles and many birds. The sunset was stunning. We found the meals to be very tasty and the blood Mary bar at breakfast was a fun treat. The Boma dinner was substantial and consisted of both African and Western foods, music, singing and dancing. There were also some craft people there so make sure to bring some cash in case you might want to buy some souvenirs. Our room was large and very clean. There is mosquito netting and we really appreciated the bonus of mosquito repellant for individual use and large spray for the room. There is a pool onsite as well. There seemed to be many other tours available for shopping, game drives or visiting town. We were very happy with our stay and the staff could not have been nicer. We found the hotel and all facilities to be very clean and in very good condition.

This is one of the best hotels in have ever stayed in; the location and hospitality were both superb. For wildlife enthusiasts like us, the opportunity to see it all around us was very special. The staff were friendly and nothing was too much trouble. We would like to give Noma in the bar a special mention, as she was outstanding in her hard work, attentiveness and kindness. It is easy to book all sorts of trips and safaris from the hotel and everything runs like clockwork.

We stayed for 3 nights to have a small business meeting with people from the region. The facilities were comfortable and worked well for our group (9 pax). The staff were friendly and accommodating and I would recommend for this sort of gathering.

A beautiful accommodation with amazing views of the landscape! Food and drink was excellent. Great location and good transport into town and falls. Was very expensive for an Africa hotel but assume paying for location. Disappointing how they over charged us for drinks by telling us the wine list was out of date but they still charged us more. After complaining they finally reduced. However, lively stay

Lovely place to stay with well equipped rooms (I stayed in the waterfacing suites), kind service for everything you need; great breakfast and other eating facilities. The waterhole is a really nice extra with activity on 2 of the 4 days I was there. Good connection to the town and Falls, also able to cater for all your other plans around the lodge. A really good, relaxing experience. Personally not a fan of the nearby Boma (too loud, too big, too fake) and prefer eating in the lodge; it did get a bit quiet at night sometimes.

Dear Gert Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your recent stay at our lodge.

While the Boma offers a lively and vibrant atmosphere, we respect your preference for a quieter dining experience within the lodge. We truly value your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future.

Felixstowe, United Kingdom45 contributions9 helpful votes
This was our final stop after a touring holiday in South Africa and Botswana. Sadly the hotel could not compare with our earlier accommodation. It is in a remarkable position overlooking a waterhole (bring binoculars) but its standards fall well short of the 5 stars claimed; 3 would be a better assessment. Overall it looks rather tired. Food was very unimpressive and relatively expensive. Bar service was friendly but painfully slow. We wouldn't stay there again.
