The Palm River Hotel, Victoria Falls (Zim)

The Palm River Hotel is truly magnificent from the architecture to the furnishings to the manicured gardens. It’s really quite something. The setting is idyllic and peaceful on the Zambezi River and just 4km from Victoria Falls. On a clear and quiet day you’ll even see the spray and hear the falls thunder.

As a tailor-made tour operator, we often have to get creative when designing your perfect itinerary.

For example, your travel consultant might add this property to your itinerary if:

Location is a significant factor
It offers a unique feature that will enhance your experience
This is a last-minute booking and room availability is limited
Cost is a factor and you'd rather splash out on another part of your trip
This is a newly opened or refurbished property that we have not inspected yet

When designing your custom itinerary we have much to consider not least of which is the value proposition of every product and service included in your quote. In all cases we strive to give you the best experience possible within your budget so please feel free to ask your travel consultant to share their reasons for including this property in your itinerary.

It’s all new and modern with a colonial architectural air about it. It’s a hotel that is more than easy on the eye. It’s quite the marvel actually yet it’s also functional and well suited to the scene and surrounding nature.

It bridges the line between contemporary and timeless so elegantly, both in the main living areas and in the rooms, whether a deluxe room or suite and even through to the villa. Nestled in the treetops the honeymoon suites are spectacular with the indulgent balconies and starlit outdoor shower. Take it up a notch and go presidential and if you really want to up the ante, book the Palm River Villa.

Dine beneath a canopy of trees, there’s a future forward café bar and of course there’s an afternoon riverside tea to delight.

You’re well based here to explore the Falls, Victoria Falls town and all the other many activities on offer and when you’re ready to simply relax, there’s a luxurious spa to top it all. It almost seems too good to be true, but this place is real and the stay is well worth it. In this case, seeing is believing. You’ll see.

Activities

There’s much to do – history, adventure and leisure activities. Take your pick. The complimentary hotel shuttle goes into town on a regular basis throughout the day.

While staying at The Palm River Hotel be sure to go on an exclusive Ra-Ikane river cruise: breakfast cruise, birdwatching cruise, lunch cruise or sunset cruise.

Of course a tour to the ‘Smoke that Thunders’ is a must and meander through town for shopping, curios shops and local markets.
