About Victoria Falls Zimbabwe lodges

Victoria Falls Zimbabwe lodges are set widely across the area and it pays to find out exactly where they are located. Several lie in the town of Victoria Falls itself, putting you at the heart of the action and within walking distance of the waterfall. Some lodges lie on the banks of the Zambezi River while others are found out of town in private game reserves and offer a genuine safari setting. You’ll also find some of the best value accommodations in the whole Victoria Falls region.

Accommodations are generally family-friendly and offer easy access to all the thrills and spills of Africa’s ‘Adventure Centre’; it’s also easy to cross over into Zambia if you’d like a look at Victoria Falls from that side or join an activity there.

TOP EXPERIENCES

THINGS TO LOOK FORWARD TO AT THE FALLS

1. See “Smoke that Thunders”

Whether you go on foot or take to the air in a plane or micro light, make sure you see Victoria Falls close up. Ask us about getting the best views for the time of year.

2. Cruise the River

The best way to end the day: a Zambezi river cruise delivers the right balance of wildlife, scenery & comfort, topped off with a sunset & your favourite chilled drink.

3. – 1 … 2 … 3 … Bungee!

You can bungee jump all over the world but this 100 metre drop is one of the biggest & has nothing less than Victoria Falls as its backdrop.

4. Go White-water Rafting

Visit between August & December for rafting at its best. With nearly half its rapids classed as top-of-the-range Grade 5, the Zambezi River is an unforgettable roller coaster ride.

5. Take a Heli-ride

Our favourite way of enjoying the spectacular drama of Victoria Falls. On a helicopter safari you’ll be on the lookout for hippos & elephants as you fly above the Zambezi.

6. Dive into Devil’s Pool

Not for the faint-hearted! A boat trip to Livingstone Island & then a careful walk to the very edge of the falls & your destination: Devil’s Pool, overlooking the abyss.

7. Ride with Elephants

Travel to a sanctuary for the ultimate in elephant encounters: you’ll feed orphaned babies, pose for jumbo-sized selfies & then go game viewing atop of a friendly adult.

8. Walk with Lions

Big cat fans can’t miss this opportunity to walk in the African bush with habituated lion cubs; their playful, curious nature will leave you with lifelong memories.

Karina was absolutely instrumental to our safari success.

Our experience with Safari Online was excellent. After becoming very frustrated trying to search for a safari destination on our own, we turned to Karina for help and she was a lifesaver.  We had an amazing safari adventure at the lodge–the experience of a lifetime–and are so grateful for her help. We literally couldn’t have done it without her!

Chris (USA)
Walter has always been an excellent communicator and has supported us fully

We have been to Africa for 24 of the last 27 years so know a bit about what is involved. Walter has arranged the details for the last couple of years, and has done a superb job. He is always quick to respond and comes up with answers immediately……..no evasive tactics, always head-on!

Roger (UK)
Best trip I have ever been on. Highly recommend.

Would highly recommend. Safari online asked questions when booking and were efficient and knew exactly what we were looking for in terms of accommodation and animals were wanted to see. Gave advice on a few little extras with no pressure, which we did and am very grateful which make trip even more exciting. Would definitely recommend booking with them.

An incredibly well organised tour with no hassles whatsoever.

Safari Online understood our needs and was able to present us with sensible options to choose from. It was evident that this tour operator has knowledgable and experienced agents who can arrange a seemless tour. We were provided with a professional online itinary which was comprehensive and easy to use, knew exactely what to expect, and encountered no stumble blocks along the way.

Gwen (AU)
It was a safari of a lifetime and exceeded all of our expectations!

Our mom grew up in Central and South Africa so we had visited the continent many times. My sister and I wanted to take our teens and husbands to Africa to experience the magic. We had a limited budget but big and specific expectations and by some miracle Walter was able to manage both.

Heather (USA)
Safari Online made our fantastic family holiday dream come true!!

Safari Online have been nothing but professional and incredible from the time we made our first enquiry to the last day of our stunning holiday. Nothing was too much trouble for Walter. We are now starting to plan our next family Safari for 2019. Guess who we will be booking with??? Safari Online we hope you are ready!!!!!
