"the excellent alternative to Vic Falls"

"Beautiful and relaxing"
This was the only place that I did feel a bit out of place, as you were allocated to eat on your own in the morning and had it not been for the lovely people I met on the boat trip would have had my evening meal with only myself and the guide. Meeting a lovely group from Australia made my time here as well as my dear friends Peggy and Bernie along with Butch.
The rooms were really beautiful but again missed the simplicity of the others. Nadine and John who manage the Sands were very nice and nothing was a problems for them." See all these reviews: 11n in Zimbabwe
"Zambezi Sands review"
The safari experience is not that easy due to heavy scrub which makes it quite difficult to spot the animals.
However we managed three sightings of lions, and lots of elephants!
We also used it as a base for our visit to the falls.
Its a bit of a way out but we much preferred the peacefulness of its position to the noise of helicopters in Vic Falls.
Really enjoyed our stay here." See all these reviews: 9n in Zimbabwe
