I was extremely impressed by the professionalism and attention to detail shown by the entire team at both Vic Falls Island tree house suites and Vic Falls river lodge. After experiencing the rest, it’s clear that they are truly the best. The service was exceptional. A special mention to Lisa Talocchino for helping to arrange the perfect location for my proposal and coordinating with the team at the Island tree house suites. JK, the manager of the island, and Becks, our waiter, went above and beyond to make my dream a reality - and it worked, she said YES! It was truly outstanding. A heartfelt thank you. The team at Vic Falls River Lodge was equally remarkable, seamlessly continuing the exceptional service from the Island tree house suites. Mak, the manager, was outstanding - always engaging with guests, approachable and attentive. NK the manager was equally warm and welcoming. Our guide, Hkeoto, was absolutely fantastic, bringing humor and great knowledge to all our activities. A particular highlight was the Zambezi sunset cruise with Hkeoto as our skipper, a truly outstanding individual who also guided us through the Vic Falls nature walk and drove us on the safari game drive, where we were lucky to spot 3 of the Big 5. James, our housekeeper, was incredibly attentive and professional along with all the rest of the staff here at the River lodge . Thank you once again , we will be back but will stay longer next time. All the best James & Leeann Sassen

Absolutely beautiful lodge accessible by speedboat on the Zambezi River right next to a national park. Large comfortable rooms with private pool; delicious meals; wonderful staff; beautiful cruises, game drives, and a trip to the Falls. Can I give more than 5 stars?

The resort is an experience all by itself. Well appointed reception, excellent staff and service, rooms exceeded our expectations, clean, comfortable, high end dining by executive chefs, and right in the water so there are river tours and fishing available. Brand new safari vehicles took us to see the wild game in the National Park. Each room has its own cold plunge pool and we had two elephants drink from our pool, when we were lounging on the deck only 15 feet away!

The VF river lodge is a pretty, rustic and cushy place. Service was very friendly though quite new and inexperienced at times. Luxury tents were spacious! In the winter time, the cold plunge pools are just that, very cold! Beautiful scenery of the Zambezi River and lodge. The AC and Heat for the tents were easy to adjust. Taking naps during the afternoons and at night, I fell into deep restful sleep. Animal sightings were as you might expect for a national park preserve. Victoria Falls is magnificently beautiful and our guide Milton went above and beyond to provide us with a great personal experience. We had a full last day and expected to enjoy the company of Milton our guide during dinner but due to a miscommunication he was not able to be accommodated at dinner. Alas our last night was a bit spoiled. Agripa was also so friendly and accommodating.

We stayed at the River Lodge for two nights. The rooms are very nice. I liked having the patio and plunge pool right on the river, and the outdoor shows is great. Two things in the room could use improvement: despite the ample space there is only one sink, and in the morning there was no hot water. We mentioned the latter to the manager and she suggested perhaps they should add insulation to the hot water tanks (which depend upon solar for their heat). That would be a great add. Other than the invigorating cold shower, this is a great place to

We stayed at the Island Tree House for the Victoria Falls River Lodge (some facilities for this group are under renovation). Simply a superb experience! The accommodations are quite similar to these pictures - simple, comfortable, peaceful, and private. Excellent staff (Peter as manager, Roy our butler and on-premises guide) - very attentive and enjoyable. Delicious food, with a great variety of options (Chef T is talented) and wonderful atmosphere. Wonderful guide (referred to as "Kato"). Relaxing and thoroughly enjoyable stay, much too short. We want to return as soon as possible!

If you ever want to be pampered and enjoy luxury with game park rides and evening river cruises from the lodge this is the ONE to go to with maximum of 12 guests each one looked after individually unbelievable luxury and a spa available. It’s a heaven by the river.

What a gem! The staff, facilities and included activities were incredible. Whilst we were only there two nights we felt it was one of the best experiences we have done in our lives. Highly recommend and the hospitality was second to none.
