This is a hidden gem. Rooms are well appointed, beds are so comfy and shower is wonderful. I loved the size of the resort. It was very intimate so you were able to meet so many interesting people at the bar or by the pool. Our shuttle driver MacMillan was excellent and would go out of his way to help you get where you were going and would even check in with you around the resort. The reception booked all my excursions for me and were great in recommending the right options for my sunset cruise and helicopter ride. The food at the restaurant was very good and the staff friendly! I would stay here again and highly recommend.

Contemporary bliss in Vic Falls
Our African safari ended at the lodge closest to the falls, but the incessant brain-rattling thump-thump-thump of scenic helicopter flights all through the day drove us to seek alternative accommodation away from downtown. Insika Lodge proved to be the perfect capstone to our weeks of adventure: huge gorgeous rooms, friendly and attentive staff, delicious meals, and no ambient Apocalypse Now soundtrack of choppers beating the air. We loved watching the resident mongooses roam the grounds, appreciated having USB charging ports on both sides of the massive bed, luxuriated in having *two* separate rainfall shower faucets, and were grateful for shuttle driver Carltonā€™s above-and-beyond assistance in making trips to and from the border outside of his set schedule. We also highly recommend Insikaā€™s river cruiseā€”their private vessel is extremely comfortable and attractively appointed. Captain Evidence is as well-versed in birds, wildlife, and photography as he is in safely navigating the Zambezi, and his crew, Munya and Freeman, amazed us all with the cornucopia of excellent food and drink that they conjured from the minuscule galley and bar.
