"Victoria Falls Safari Lodge review"
"Excellent facilities"
Our room was well appointed and staff were helpful at all times. The atmosphere was quite impersonal, due to high number of guests staying. Food at the restaurant could have been better, and was expensive. We had a much better experience when we ate in the bar on the following evening.
Overall, a good place to stay in what is inevitably an extremely touristy location." See all these reviews: 8n in Namibia; 7n in Zambia; 2n in Zimbabwe; 2n in Botswana

We made good use of the free shuttle bus into Victoria Falls town for our excursions to the falls, the tram across the VF bridge and afternoon tea at the VF Hotel." See all these reviews: 9n in Botswana; 2n in Zimbabwe

"Very comfortable base for exploring the falls"
A number of rooms, including ours, together with the main lodge (bar and restaurant) overlook the waterhole. While we were staying, there wasn't a great deal of activity at the waterhole except for vultures and cranes, but you are ever hopeful!
Both bar and restaurant served very good food, with pancakes (amongst lots of other nice things) for breakfast.
On the last night we booked for the Boma having been told it should not be missed. We found it a bit disappointing. It was about as different from a traditional boma as could be imagined. It was held at a building within the same complex as the lodge but with many visitors and tour groups from elsewhere. It was basically a huge cafeteria! We would have left immediately but decided to give it a try, although not relishing chosing our food in the semi-dark. We had the warthog, which was suprisingly good, along with the salads. After the food we were going to leave, but the entertainment came on and that was quite good (an opportunity for everyone to take part in communal drumming) bash a drum, so salvaging the evening. The idea of an African experience might have been good but it was on far too big a scale and expensive (US$40 each without drinks). Not recommended - eat in the lodge restaurant."

Even though the hotel is not in the town center, we used the shuttle service running every hour, which was very convenient. An activity desk service is available and we appreciated the good service there.
We felt that this hotel was the right place to end up our trip." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia; 2n in Zimbabwe
