Victoria Falls Accommodation

Victoria Falls is a small tourist town situated only one kilometre from the mighty Victoria Falls - Zimbabwe. This town has developed for one reason and one reason only – Tourists.

 
As a result there is a wide range of hotels and lodges, bed and breakfast, self catering and  camping to choose from. What ever your budget is, there will certainly be something to suit you.

Your budget is often what determines your accommodation but we also feel that an important thing to think about when choosing your Victoria Falls accommodation is “The Experience” that you want.

By this we mean – Do you want a big resort type hotel or a small personal experience. Do you want an African game experience or do you want to be in the town within walking distance to the shops, restaurants and bars.

So before booking your Victoria Falls accommodation our advice is to check out the size of the hotel/lodge and of course as the saying goes location, location, location. See our map and comments for details


Read these Vic Falls accommodation reviews and add comments or why not tell us about YOUR EXPERIENCE in one of the hotels.

**Please note that all prices we have displayed are for guide purposes only. Hotels are constantly changing their prices and offering special deals so for accurate up to date prices please contact us via our booking enquiry form  we will do our best to put together a really good holiday for you.**

Read these Victoria Falls accommodation reviews and add comments or why not tell us about YOUR EXPERIENCE in one of the hotels.

The airport is about 22kms out the town but an airport transfer can be arranged when you make your Victoria Falls accommodation booking, which will ensure that you get there and back safely, as it is a long walk and there are wild animals around.

Don’t forget that as well as the incredible spectacle of the mighty Victoria Falls this area is home to some fantastic wildlife. So do consider one of the safari lodges detailed above, possibly a trip to the Chobe or even to Hwange National Park (only 150kms) where there is some good national park accommodation and and exclusive camp we recommend called "The Hide".

If you want to feel like you're truly in the African wilderness, a self catering vacation timeshare resort like the Lokuthula Lodges is a great choice. These lodge-style accommodations are just 10 minutes from scenic Victoria Falls, but are situated in the middle of 80,000 hectares of undeveloped land on the border of the Zambezi National Park.
