I was extremely impressed by the professionalism and attention to detail shown by the entire team at both Vic Falls Island tree house suites and Vic Falls river lodge. After experiencing the rest, it’s clear that they are truly the best. The service was exceptional. A special mention to Lisa Talocchino for helping to arrange the perfect location for my proposal and coordinating with the team at the Island tree house suites. JK, the manager of the island, and Becks, our waiter, went above and beyond to make my dream a reality - and it worked, she said YES! It was truly outstanding. A heartfelt thank you. The team at Vic Falls River Lodge was equally remarkable, seamlessly continuing the exceptional service from the Island tree house suites. Mak, the manager, was outstanding - always engaging with guests, approachable and attentive. NK the manager was equally warm and welcoming. Our guide, Hkeoto, was absolutely fantastic, bringing humor and great knowledge to all our activities. A particular highlight was the Zambezi sunset cruise with Hkeoto as our skipper, a truly outstanding individual who also guided us through the Vic Falls nature walk and drove us on the safari game drive, where we were lucky to spot 3 of the Big 5. James, our housekeeper, was incredibly attentive and professional along with all the rest of the staff here at the River lodge . Thank you once again , we will be back but will stay longer next time. All the best James & Leeann Sassen

Absolutely beautiful lodge accessible by speedboat on the Zambezi River right next to a national park. Large comfortable rooms with private pool; delicious meals; wonderful staff; beautiful cruises, game drives, and a trip to the Falls. Can I give more than 5 stars?

The resort is an experience all by itself. Well appointed reception, excellent staff and service, rooms exceeded our expectations, clean, comfortable, high end dining by executive chefs, and right in the water so there are river tours and fishing available. Brand new safari vehicles took us to see the wild game in the National Park. Each room has its own cold plunge pool and we had two elephants drink from our pool, when we were lounging on the deck only 15 feet away!

The VF river lodge is a pretty, rustic and cushy place. Service was very friendly though quite new and inexperienced at times. Luxury tents were spacious! In the winter time, the cold plunge pools are just that, very cold! Beautiful scenery of the Zambezi River and lodge. The AC and Heat for the tents were easy to adjust. Taking naps during the afternoons and at night, I fell into deep restful sleep. Animal sightings were as you might expect for a national park preserve. Victoria Falls is magnificently beautiful and our guide Milton went above and beyond to provide us with a great personal experience. We had a full last day and expected to enjoy the company of Milton our guide during dinner but due to a miscommunication he was not able to be accommodated at dinner. Alas our last night was a bit spoiled. Agripa was also so friendly and accommodating.

We stayed at the River Lodge for two nights. The rooms are very nice. I liked having the patio and plunge pool right on the river, and the outdoor shows is great. Two things in the room could use improvement: despite the ample space there is only one sink, and in the morning there was no hot water. We mentioned the latter to the manager and she suggested perhaps they should add insulation to the hot water tanks (which depend upon solar for their heat). That would be a great add. Other than the invigorating cold shower, this is a great place to

A very special place , overall a fantastic experience- We travlled via the border crossing with Bottswana and our driver dropped us off at the meeting point which is on the Zambezi river or as Nic our guide renamed it “the Mighty Zambezi river “ and henwas right what a beautiful widw river ! We were collected by our guide for our stay “ Nic” he was very knowledgeable and engaging. He picked us up in a speedboat and 10 minutes later arrived at the lodge. Very smart arrival / reception area We were in room 7 which was excellent , v comfy bed , couch etc - for us it was out first experience of none permanent structures - they are huge and loads of space shower (s) bath , air con etc but you still have the experience of “glamping “ but very very much 5* !!! We were a little nervous about mosquitos etc but overall we did ok - you get bug spray etc Food was absolutely excellent , little disappointed only a couple of choices of wine , given the quality of the food We undertook 2 game drives , 1 river cruise and a private tour of vic falls - the highlights , sunset , falls, crocs and the hippos !!! ( nic found about 12 hoppos in 1 place) So why have we scored it only 4* / 5 2 reasons - whilst our guide tried their best we only had a small number of sitings of animals. That said we did see a Honey badger which was super cool . Perhaps it was us but the team were always super keen to ask if we were having a great time , was everything ok , we were asked 4 x at breakfast by different people of it was ok - that was repeated so many times - how was your boat ride , how was your game drive , etc etc you have a great lodge , with great people sometimes on vacation people like to chat to the person they are on vacation with Robert in the restaurant needs a shout out , a great genuine person who gets it right with your guests - james the guy who looked after our room for us Overall a great place / location and ideal if you want a memorable place to visit the falls which are a real wonder of the world , oh and did i say the food was fantastic - well done chef !

My daughter and I visited the Victoria Falls River Lodge Island Treehouses. Reeves, Blessed, TK and NK made our stay absolutely perfect. The rooms are incredibly comfortable with unsurpassed views of the Zambezi River. Reeves made sure our every need was taken care of. He even called our room when a family of hippos decided to nap right by the bar so we could see them (picture included!). Blessed was a knowledgeable, friendly, and funny guide, and incredibly patient with our endless questions. The entire experience was seamless from the moment they picked us up at the airport to the moment they returned us there. Sipho, our driver, also deserves praise. He told us all about the area on our drive to and from the lodge. I’ve never wanted to recommend a lodge more. The Island Treehouses are without comparison. We smiled the whole time.

Stunning location at both the River Lodge and the Island Lodge. The River Lodge is much bigger than the Island Lodge that is more intimate. Can highly recommend both properties. Island Lodge have a small gym and spa, a small shap and a very nice bar area set away from the main area. Love the decor, and the staff are excellent. You can choose from a game drive activity or river cruise, morning and evening. The lodge is +/- 20 min drive from the town of Victoria Falls
