Luckily, we are right next to the Royal Livingstone Hotel which were happy for us to have dinner there both of our nights.
The people at Avani are also looking a bit tired - the whole place needs a face lift...
Of course some of the staff were wonderful and we tipped them separately..." See all these reviews: 7n in Tanzania; 3n in Zambia; 1n in Kenya

We got drenched by the falls, but it was hard to get a grasp of how large they are from all the mist. Think we should have done a helicopter tour to truly see the whole picture.
We enjoyed hiking around the falls.
Had two baboons ( separate occasions) try to get into our rooms. Makes for good stories to tell at home." See all these reviews: 12n in Zambia

"Just 5 minutes from the Vic Falls"
Personally we prefer the views from the Zimbabwean side, but we did not have sufficient time to visit both sides this time.
We were impressed that on arrival the chef and manager were called to discuss food intolerances in relation to dinner." See all these reviews: 21n in Zambia

The Mois-oa-Tunya national park wasn't the best park that I visited but the walk with rhinos was v special. I also did the mircoflight over the falls which was utterly terrifying." See all these reviews: 10n in Zambia
