We were touring in Southern Africa and our second stop was Victoria Falls River Lodge. We were delivered to the Lodge by boat driven by Captain Billy who took care of us for our 3 days. The room was huge-it had a king sized bed, couch, chairs table and desk and 2 indoor showers and 2 out door showers and an indoor and an outdoor soaking tub on the expansive deck on the Zambezi River. The food was Epicurean -worthy of the best restaurant. The staff was very friendly courteous and helpful. I've traveled all over Africa and the world and this is one of my favorite places.

Everything about this lodge is amazing! Our tent #8 faced the river, short walk to the main lodge. Super comfortable, nice warm showers, great A/C and lovely staff. Hippos, crocodiles in front of our place every day! Lots of birds around . Our Tracker Cris and Guide Bec’s were amazing! Attention to details to make sure that our Group of 8 from Alabama were always taking care with a full ice chest of Mimosas and beers! Saw a female lion close by the lodge and lots of hippos, crocodiles ! Elephants on game drives! Visit to the Falls was wet and fun! Wear good shoes! The food at the lodge was delicious and delicious desserts. Amazing staff!!

Absolutely an amazing and beautiful Lodge on the shore of the Zambezi River in Zimbabwe. Amazing staff and great food and drinks. Did beautiful game drives and river tours also where we saw hippos, crocs and more. Elephants came to drink on the shores as we were passing, it was so amazing it almost seemed staged.

Amazing Lodge -gorgeous views-The staff was extremely friendly and personable. Our guide, Mike, was so knowledgeable, interesting, kind and fun! Rooms were comfortable, very clean, and well maintained. The river cruise was fabulous and the Game drive off the charts! We were so pleased with our entire experience. PS-Tour of the Falls-outstanding... do the helicopter!!! I highly recommend this Lodge.

An Unforgettable Luxury Experience at Victoria Falls River Lodge in their Island Treehouse Suite (#6 - it's the best!!!) Our stay at Victoria Falls River Lodge was absolutely exceptional from start to finish. The accommodations were beyond anything we expected. Our "tent" if you could call it that, was enormous—larger than our master suite at home—with a giant, incredibly comfortable bed, a luxurious bathtub, two spacious showers, and a large walk-in closet. Every detail was thoughtfully designed to create a relaxing and elegant experience. What truly elevated our stay was the outstanding service. Our butler, Roy, was phenomenal. He was always available, attentive, and eager to help with anything we needed. Thanks to Roy and the entire staff, we never wanted for a thing and felt completely pampered throughout our visit. The dining experience was equally impressive. Every meal was gourmet quality, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. We looked forward to every breakfast, lunch, and dinner. From the luxurious accommodations and world-class service to the incredible food and beautiful setting, The Treehouse Suites exceeded our expectations in every way. It was pure luxury and one of the most memorable travel experiences we've ever had. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable stay near Victoria Falls.

WOW! We stayed at the smaller Malachite location in a Tented Suite. It was quite beautiful with stunning views of the river. Very Romantic! The Staff were all spectacular, everyone we encountered was incredibly personable and friendly. The Main lodge area was so luxurious and high end, and the food was some of the best we had on our vacation. would definitely recommend the Lodge as a great location to explore Victoria Falls. They offer Sunset River Cruise which was quite spectacular, and a Safari ride on their property. We also had our guide take us for the Tour of Victoria Falls. One thing to note- this is not a walled in compound, so there are wild animals around including at your Room/Tent. You have to be escorted to and from the main lodge, you cannot wander yourself at all.

We stayed in Room 5 on The Island. The deck is literally over the Zambezi River, the sunrise was sensational and the room fabulous with folding and sliding doors that opened the entire place up to appreciate Africa. Lisa, Reeves and guide Jamie were outstanding. We stayed 3 nights and I know it's a cliche but 'just didn't want to leave'. Victoria Falls trip and heli-tour were superb. Jamie hosted us for this and a sunrise cruise and game drive, all of which were outstanding. He and Reeves are exemplary. The main areas of both The River Lodge and Island Lodge are very very well appointed. Luxurious. Idyllic. The river is the star, and the lodge compliments it perfectly. I would not hesitate to recommend staying here. We have stayed in many African lodges and this one has got everything. The suite, the food, the staff, the public areas. 10/10.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Victoria Falls River lodge. We were in expert hands and taken on numerous game drives, a visit to Victoria Falls and local venues. What an introduction to Africas animals!! We appreciate all the care and attention we had. A great start to a big African adventure.
