The Edwardian-style five-star hotel, built in 1904, was recently redecorated and refurbished and now combines the charm of the old with the convenience of the new. Set in lush tropical gardens with lily ponds, palm trees and semi-tropical shrubs, it provides the tranquillity and seclusion that many guests seek. If offers a fantastic view of the old bridge that connects Zimbabwe and Zambia and the Falls, called “the smoke that thunders” or “Mosi-O-Tunya” in the local dialect, are clearly audible and visible from this luxurious landmark. The hotel has 161 rooms offering different levels of luxury, three restaurants, a bar, two tennis courts, a large swimming pool, library, reading rooms and a spa. .
The Victoria Falls Hotel, popularly known as “the grand old lady of the Falls”, is situated in the Victoria Falls National Park. The famous Victoria Falls are just a ten-minute walk away using the hotel’s private pathway - but better be accompagnied by a guide as there is sometimes wildlife on the way!
Sunset cruises on the mighty Zambezi River, just upstream from the magnificent falls, is a must for the visitor and will be arranged by hotel staff. Crocodiles, abundant hippo can be seen. All activities that are offered in the area can be booked through the hotel, such as helicopter flights, micro lighting, white water rafting, horse riding, visits to the falls on the Zambian side, just to name a few.
Some «vervet monkeys» have also made the hotel their home. Very amusing for the guests and probabsly a bit less funny for the management.
