The lodge is 1.3 miles from the Victoria Falls and is set in lush gardens with large verandas where you can sit and relax and have indoor or outdoor dining.

On site there is 2 restaurants and we recommend you pre-book The Boma restaurant. You can also sit on the large wooden deck in the main area which has fantastic views over a watering hole where many elephants came down to drink water.

We have also arranged for a guided tour of the Falls and a sunset sundowner cruise on the Zambezi River, both of these activities are must do’s in Victoria Falls. You can then tick this off your bucket list. For the Tour of the Falls there is nothing like standing at the magnificent falls and feeling the never-ending spray.
