WERE TO STAY IN VIC FALLS....??

by RODNEY VAN NIEKERK
(EDENVALE SOUTH AFRICA)

Hi, FROM YOUR WEBSITE I GATHERED THE VIC FALLS HOTEL AND THE KINGDOM HOTEL ARE THE CLOSEST TO THE FALLS, IS THIS CORRECT ?.
WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A VIC FALLS EXPERIENCE, IN THE TOWN, HOW CLOSE ARE THE HOTELS MENTIONED TO THE FALLS ITSELF ?.

NEVER BEEN THERE, LAST TIME I WAS IN ZIM WAS PRIOR TO ZIMBABWE INDEPENDENCE, AND I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO SEE KARIBA, BUT WAS DEFINITELY ADVISED NOT TO WALK OVER THE BRIDGE, IT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN INTERNATIONAL INCIDENT....NOW, WE WANT TO SEE VICTORIA FALLS.

Hi Rodney

Thanks for your question. Vic falls hotel, Kingdom and Ilala lodge are the closest to the falls, have a look at this map and you can see the layout. Vic Falls map

They are less than a kilometer from the entrance to the falls and are within easy walking distance, they are also close to town and curio markets etc. So you will definitely have a Vic Falls Experience.

Hotels like Vic Falls Safari Lodge and Elephant Hills hotel are a bit further out of town but they do have bus shuttles going in all the time.

They have a slightly different feel to them. Safari lodge overlooks a waterhole and is more of a wildlife experience. Elephant hills is perched on a hill with a panoramic view and also overlooks its own 18 hole golf course.

They are all magic, a lot depends on you budget and expectations. Kingdom hotel is very reasonably priced and is great for kids with lovely big swimming pools etc. Vic Falls hotel is the grand old lady and is very colonial and probably not best suited for kids. Ilala lodge is a smaller hotel and is a bit more exclusive again not ideal for children.

Yes pre-independence that would have been a problem to cross the bridge, the countries were at war with each other. Of course that is not the case nowadays and you can cross Kariba dam wall or the Vic falls bridge with ease.

Let us know if we can be of any further help with information or making these booking for you.

Best Regards
Tony
