Our Yellow Zebra Opinion
  • Well-loved lodge
Old-world sophistication in a historic property with an enviable location overlooking the Zambezi Gorge and Victoria Falls Bridge. Now a member of The Leading Hotels of the World, The Victoria Falls Hotel is one of the oldest hotels in Africa and it shows its age in some areas, but if charm and Edwardian grandeur are your thing, look no further.

*Big game often wanders along the banks of the Zambezi River and even right into Victoria Falls Town itself. So if you are at your hotel, walking into town, or sightseeing, always be cautious of big game – keep your distance and always move away from it if you see it.
