Rather than jostle with the burly hotels for front row seats of the main attraction - which you will visit anyway - the Victoria Falls Safari Lodge opted to give you the best of both worlds: close enough to enjoy the falls yet far enough from the crowds to afford a relaxing and tranquil African escape.

From a slight elevation, Victoria Falls Safari Lodge looks out over the Zambezi National Park and, right below, is a large watering hole frequented by a variety of plains game and nocturnal predators.

With watering hole, game reserve and sunset all in full view from your private balcony - through French doors - Victoria Falls Safari Lodge is a relaxing and scenic hideaway minutes from the greatest falling curtain of water in the world, a World Heritage Site and one of the Seven Natural Wonders.

The construction of Victoria Falls Safari Lodge is nothing short of sensational. A labyrinthine maze of mezzanines, view points, decks, lounges and dining rooms, the entire structure built from local wood, stone and thatch blends into the African bush like a lion in a monkey suit.
