RATS RATS RATS! I would not recommend. My room was on the top floor and it looked nice, but that’s where it ends. The Good: the restaurant food was good and reasonably priced. The restaurant staff were great and so were the front desk staff. The Bad: I was woken up in the middle of the night when a couple of rats got in my room. They started running around the room and were making noises! I couldn’t go back to sleep, I was too grossed out. Second, because of the mosquitoes, the staff must have used the entire can of mosquito spray because the smell was so strong, I had a hard time breathing. Maybe other guests who were on the bottom floor had better experience than mine, but I definitely did not have a good experience.

This was out 4th visit to the Victoria Falls Waterfront. The welcome is always exceptional - warm and friendly. The staff are all friendly and helpful. The pools are clean and inviting. The bar and food are run to a very high standard. I understand that the lodge is owned by the company which provides safaris and other activities in the area so booking these is easy. We have now done a walking safari 4 times and see and learn new things each time. Cannot recomend this place enough.

I loved the location next to one of the lakes the feed into Victoria Falls. The turndown service was great for preparing your mosquito net and spraying the room to keep the bugs out as much as possible. It had a very real wildlife experience feeling. The people were safe however, I had security walke to my room after dark because of the baboons. I just don't trust baboons. Also it was dark. The only con on the hotel was my shower drain wasn't working properly.
