Victoria Falls Hotel

Victoria Falls Hotel

Victoria Falls

Popularly known as “the Grand Old Lady of the Falls”, the Victoria Falls Hotel is situated in the Victoria Falls National Park, a World Heritage site. A member of the exclusive Leading Hotels of the World group, this Edwardian-style hotel, built in 1904, has recently been refurbished to combine the charm of the old with the convenience of the new.

Set in lush tropical gardens with lily ponds, palm trees and semi-tropical shrubs, the hotel provides the tranquillity and seclusion that many guests seek. The famous Victoria Falls are within walking distance and “the smoke that thunders” or “Mosi-O-Tunya” in the local dialect, is audible and visible from this luxurious landmark. You might even feel a bit of spray as you walk in the gardens.

There’s a choice of restaurants and a bar, a swimming pool, a shop, a spacious lounge area and pretty gardens. The hotel can also help arrange several tours of the area. Of course, afternoon tea on the terrace is an essential part of any stay!

The rooms are all air-conditioned and have a television, safe, and tea and coffee-making facilities.

How our Tent Ratings work

​

These are based on our personal experience of the hotel, camp or lodge and should not be compared against ratings you find elsewhere. We intend to guide you and don’t be put off by a low tent rating as some of our favourites fall into the 2 and 3-tent categories.​

​

It is also important to bear in mind that standards vary from country to country and a 4-tent hotel in South Africa cannot be compared with a 4-tent hotel in another part of the world. 

To summarise our grading system, we have considered the following.
