Ilala Lodge review
When we checked in the staff person told us that we were likely to see wild animals outside our back patio door. My husband and I silently chuckled at this, but one hour later saw three elephants eating tree limbs just meters from our patio! We also saw warthogs and baboons daily.
In addition, the staff were so warm and attentive. My husband had his luggage lost on our way, and the manager worked tirelessly to help us retrieve it before we left - and succeeded.

Champagne surprise for our honeymoon was a lovely touch.

Ilala Lodge review
Ilala Lodge was in a great location, within walking distance of the falls and the town facilities. Our room was very nice - but more of a normal hotel after we had been so pampered in the lodges we visited.
However, we were ready for some less structured time and activities, so the 'anonymity' of the Lodge suited us very well.
Ilala Lodge review
Very nice hotel in pleasant surroundings. It's within easy walking distance from the Falls and it's wonderful being able to hear the Falls from your room and the terrace and to see the mist rising. We walked over to the Falls to see the sunrise.
Staff were very welcoming, friendly and helpful.
Breakfast was excellent - a good variety.
Bathroom a little dated but fine for our short stay.
Excellent location for the Falls
Excellent food and service.
Bathrooms getting a bit tired.

Nice restaurant and this is a good, reliable place to stay. Good restaurant and service.
The pool area is not particularly nice though and you don't really have views of the Falls. Anyone would be much better off staying at Victoria Falls Hotel, which has much nicer architecture and better views.
Ilala Lodge review
The lodge itself is lovely together with the staff. After eating in Cape Town, it was more expensive however the food was still good.
The only downside was the building works going on, They are building 22 more rooms, finishing in October 2015 and the builders started at 8am and finished at 530pm. A quiet day by the pool wasn't so quiet with banging and crashing.
Beautiful, relaxing and comfortable.
What a way to return to civilization!! Fantastic on all accounts.
Comfortable rooms, kind staff, great amenities, good food & beautiful surroundings. I had a relaxing message, a nice swim, a great dinner and appreciated the locale for walking to Victoria Falls and exploring the rest of the town.
A definite redo.
Ilala Lodge review
Our stay at Ilala Lodge was wonderful. The staff was very friendly, the rooms were comfortable and the location was great. It was only a 10-15 minute walk to Victoria Falls.
Seeing the warthogs every day from our room made for a fun, exciting stay. We ate at the Palm Restaurant one evening and really enjoyed the food. The only slight annoyance was dealing with the vendors who came up to us every time we left the lodge, asking us to buy their "one-of-a-kind" goods.
We have always believed that acting responsibly is the only way to approach tourism and we're one of
the few companies to hold AITO's original coveted 5-star status for responsible tourism. It's a lead
that others are now following.
