I always stay at the Backpackers with Mari’s good service always, she remembers my name. The tents had a very nice sitting area especially at night.

My stay was good. The staff are very polite and willing to help. The food is great. I would recommend it to anyone.
This was much better than I was expecting for a 3-star hotel. Having stayed at 4 & 5 star hotels recently in SA, I would rate this 4 stars easily! Room was spacious, comfortable, clean and modern.
Had a really lovely experience at Cresta Sprayview. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The rooms are top notch. The chef definitely knows his business, the food was really good.

Located within walking distance to the Victoria Falls, at the end of the main street. Built on three levels, it takes a bit of time to work out the best way to your room.
Stayed here for 3 nights and it was a beautiful property. The staff were very friendly and answering all our questions related to tours and excursions.
I stayed in a hotel next to The Victorian Manor, but I had my dinner in it. It was absolutely delicious! Freshly baked buns, tender crocodile and great South African wine took my heart.
We stayed there for four nights eventhough we were originally supposed to stay in another lodge. At the begining we were a bit sceptical about that.
This place is absolutely amazing.
The team at Mbano could not be nicer and their “story” is even better. We would highly recommend! The property is beautiful and the villa we had was spacious and comfortable!
This is such a gem of a place! Loved loved loved it. The rooms are so spacious and such beautiful touches all around. The design of the rooms shouts luxury!
This is a beautiful hotel and the staff is very kind. I would definitely come back here. I was also very impressed by the founder of the hotel and the great food.
Phil, his family, and team working on site provide such a great experience. It was SO quiet there, yet only a few minutes taxi ride into the main part of town.
A fantastic place led to an equally fantastic 4 nights at the stunning Pamarah Lodge.
Accommodation is stunning. We opted for the honeymoon suite which was idyllic.
We really enjoyed our stay at Pamarah and highly recommend it. The grounds are an oasis of green and relaxing places to sit and interact with staff, fellow travelers, or just read a book!
Do not miss this place. The staff are the best in the region! Hands down. They make the experience. Rooms are fabulous and food was even better.
Our hosts Tanishe and Gloria were top notch.
Thank you to everyone at the Elephant Camp who made our stay so memorable. Being able to hand feed the elephants is an experience my family and I will never forget.

The place was very luxurious and the service was nice. Dinner was great and the food was good.

We had the most wonderful 4 nights at Gwango. Everything went above our expectations: the rooms, food, staff, safaris, pool/bar area.
I wish I could leave more than 5 stars. We spent a few days at the lodge.
Simply amazing and then some. Carlos, Nyasha, Kelvin and Prince turned the amazing into the incredible.
We had the most incredible stay at Masuwe Lodge, it truly exceeded all expectations! From the moment we arrived, Cas and his amazing team went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect.
What a wonderful place. We visited the area to see the falls but got so much more than we expected from our stay at Masuwe Lodge. You are welcomed like family and that continues throughout your stay.
Masuwe Lodge – where luxury and comfort meet the wild.
From the moment we arrived at Masuwe, we felt welcomed as friends and family rather than guests.
Absolutely loved it here. Unfortunately we only stayed for two nights but they were memorable for all the right reasons.
We stayed at Pioneers as part of a tour package. The tours kept us pretty busy, but we wish we could have stayed extra days just to enjoy this place. It is absolutely gorgeous.
What a wonderful place. Beautiful reception and common areas. Room is clean and well equipped.
The service is exceptional! I have stayed at 10+ countries and in 5 star hotels, and the service workers here are by far the best, the friendliest and most understanding.
We had a really pleasant stay at Victoria Falls Rainbow Hotel. The location is a big plus, it’s close to town, easy to get around, and transport is simple to organise.
The rooms were lovely with an en suite bathroom, working aircon, a TV with a few TV channels, a mosquito net to protect from bites in the evenings as well as a safe to keep your items safe.
I’d say this has been a perfect serendipity for me! The outdoors, the rooms, the amenities, the hospitality and not to mention the added advantage of access!
Beautiful hotel. Rooms are fine. Food lovely especially the breakfasts. Zebra, impala and giraffe in the hotel grounds! Easy walk to Victoria Falls which are spectacular.
We had an amazing stay in April. The most spectacular experience was the zebras roaming the grounds! The rooms were clean and the linens excellent. The breakfast buffet was very good and included.
Batonka is its own peaceful sanctuary in Victoria falls.
We had a beautiful stay in Victoria Falls at Batonka Guest Lodge. The staff were so friendly and incredibly hospitable.
Batonka Guest Lodge was an exceptional experience. Lovely landscaping, two pools, excellent food from the restaurant and an excellent eating area inside and outside.
I haven’t been to a game reserve since Covid. Coming to Chundu Island Zimbabwe was the best getaway I had in a long time. So good to be back where my roots belongs. Highly recommend.
We spent another delightful 4 days at Chundu Island, this being our second trip there. The lodge itself is situated in a lovely, peaceful spot on the Zambezi River, south of VIctoria Falls.
This is a fantastic property to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of city life and enjoy specular river views and the occasional visit from a four-legged creature.
Amazing place and staff, go beyond to help guests. The accommodation is beautiful so real better than in photos. Breakfast was amazing especially French omelette and French toast.
Great place for a stay in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe. Staff is incredibly helpful, on site restaurant serves meals throughout the day, breakfast included in price.
Staying at Nguni lodge was a very pleasant experience.
