Themed like an African kraal done good, Kingdom is a large 294-roomed resort hotel set in lush grounds within walking distance of Victoria Falls on the edge of the National Park.

The hotel has everything you could possibly need - and quite probably a lot you don't need - including a casino a variety of restaurants, swimming pools, spa, bars, shops, salons and even a bank so you can relieve yourself of some hard-earned pennies at the tables.

Kingdom Hotel is a good place to base yourself for your Vic Falls holiday if you plan to spend a lot of your time out there getting soaked in the rain forest and shooting rapids, jumping off bridges, walking with lions and supping on a cocktail aboard a river cruise above the falls. If you're looking for something with a little more class or intimacy we'd recommend Ilala Lodge across the way (or one of many others, just ask your travel expert) but if it's a lively and comfy place to call base for a few days then the Kingdom's your oyster.

When it comes to dining you have a range of options including a steak house and an Italian restaurant, 24-hour room service and of course the hotel's own restaurant where breakfast is served every morning, buffet-style on the terrace or inside.
