The Victoria Falls is one of the best places in Africa one could ever desire to visit and in my recommendation as a travel agent, I rank it very high.

Great variety of accommodation types on both the Zambia and Zimbabwe side - great choice of food and restaurants and nothing beats the activities at Victoria Falls.    We have an endless range of packages, including flights, with accommodation and transfers as a starter pack.   Let me put something together that will really get you excited !   Generally from South Africa  ( Johannesburg )  flights may be cheaper into Livingstone ( Zambia )  rather than Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe.  Remember a Yellow Fever Innoculation will be required to visit the Zambian side only.

Some great hotel choices are listed below - note this is by no means the only hotels we sell at the Victoria Falls - these are only the more popular samples we actually sell.

Set in lush tropical gardens with lily ponds, palm trees and semi-tropical shrubs, it provides the tranquillity and seclusion that many guests seek. The famous Victoria Falls are just a ten-minute walk away using the hotel’s private pathway, and “the smoke that thunders” or “Mosi-O-Tunya” in the local dialect, is clearly audible and visible from this luxurious landmark.

World-class service, and food and beverage choice and preparation second to none, make the hotel a magnet for international visitors and locals alike. The opulent Livingstone Room for fine dining and dancing, the Jungle Junction with its famous breakfast and dinner buffets and ethnic entertainment in the evenings, offer variety and wide choice. Stanley’s Terrace, with its clear view of the Victoria Falls Bridge, connecting Zimbabwe and Zambia, is renowned for its cocktails and afternoon teas. The Terrace has been a rendezvous for adventurers in Africa for over a century.

The ambience of the hotel is steeped in that history with all suites decorated in the gracious Edwardian style of Zimbabwe’s colonial era. It has 161 rooms comprising 37 standard rooms, 58 traditional rooms, 48 deluxe rooms, 7 junior suites, 4 honeymoon suites, 6 executive suites and the Royal Suite. The latter, as the name suggests, has seen reigning monarchs, presidents and, more recently, many famous Hollywood stars among its privileged occupants. The corridors reflect and tell the history of this unique part of Africa, with particular reference to the building of the railway from Cape Town to what is now Zambia. It is very much part of the unrealised “Cape to Cairo” dream of Cecil John Rhodes.
