"Excellent Location"
Breakfast excellent.
Absolutely no need to spend on more expensive Hotel. We went for high tea at Victoria Falls Hotel, which was good but I preferred the look of Ilala Lodge.
Discovered a great cafe called Wild horizon cafe. Looked over the Zambezi river and also the bridge linking Zimbabwe and Zambia. Ate dinner while the sunset.
Anything good cafe was the Three monkeys.

"Very comfortable place to stay"
We enjoyed the swimming pool and the room we had, also breakfast was abundant and tasty, but otherwise we spent lots of time in the Falls park and both nights ate outside of the hotel, at The Three Monkeys right next to the hotel.
That is a place we definitely recommend for excellent food, really affordable prices, great cocktails and superb staff service. " See all these reviews: 6n in Namibia; 5n in Botswana; 2n in Zimbabwe

"Very comfortable"
The food in the lodge's restaurant was very good, with local specialties like crocodile, warthog and kudu.
We were told there would be construction going on during our stay, and to make up for it, they offered a breakfast cruise on the Zambezie river. The construction turned out to be barely noticeable, and the cruise was wonderful - we saw two herds of elephants play in the river." See all these reviews: 3n in Zambia; 2n in Zimbabwe
