"Avani Victoria Falls review"
The grounds are lovely with a huge swimming pool, and zebra and monkeys wandering around. There were ample good quality food choices in the restaurants and at the buffet breakfast. We were certainly glad to be within the Victoria Falls park and it was easy to walk to the Falls.
Unfortunately the Falls only had a trickle of water when we were there (on the Zambian side). Apparently there had been lower rainfall than usual this year so we did not get to see the spectacular sight we had hoped for." See all these reviews: 9n in Zambia

"Avani Victoria Falls review"
It was noisy - both around the restaurant area and in the rooms.
Breakfast was excellent.
The location of the hotel is its redeeming factor and our ability to visit “The Falls” early in the morning when we were virtually the only visitors was special." See all these reviews: 6n in Zambia

"Avani Victoria Falls review"
The room was comfortable and exactly as advertised. Breakfast was superb and the staff very friendly. The location was great and we enjoyed unlimited access to the falls and an easy walk to the Zimbabwe side. Also a good place to do the river cruise (very enjoyable).
We used the proximity to the Royal Livingstone to enjoy high tea (excellent and pricey). We were usually too busy to bother with the restaurant and opted for the pool bar.
As it was busy the service was very slow ( we gave up on awaiting dinner on the second night and just went back to our room)." See all these reviews: 3n in Botswana; 2n in Zambia

"Civilization with a Touch of the Wild"
It was easy to make tour reservations and were able to go to Victoria Falls on the Zimbabwe side for a better view of the falls. Being the dry season, there was very little flow on the Zambia side. A river tour on a speed boat gave us a unique view of the river and wildlife living along the river. We were able to get close to shore to see various wildlife and birds.
The staff of Avani was very helpful and polite and the dining area staff very helpful with special food choices. I did feel their entree menu was a bit limited and would have liked more choices. The buffet at breakfast and dinner was very comprehensive but its usually too much food and a bit pricey for everyday. Nice walking paths throughout the resort to get some exercise and a large pool to relax by in the afternoon were amenities were enjoyed.
There was a gift shop in the back of the resort that we hadn't heard about until coming upon it on a walk. They had unique gifts and crafts to offer that the shop near the lobby didn't have. They need better signage for this area." See all these reviews: 11n in Zambia

"Avani Victoria Falls review"
It's a big hotel, the rooms are good and breakfast was excellent.
It is a perfectly acceptable hotel, but coming from the intimacy and wonderful experiences of the safari camps perhaps it couldn't stand out." See all these reviews: 16n in Zambia; 5n in Rwanda
