Rainbow Hotel Victoria Falls

Good quality family accommodation in the right location

Introduction

The medium sized Rainbow Hotel is conveniently located only 500 meters from the town centre and 1.5 kms from the Victoria Falls Rainforest entrance. It is an ideal family hotel with a lovely swimming pool and fits into the 3star bracket of hotels in Victoria Falls.

The Rainbow Hotel is part of the Rainbow Tourism Group (RTG) which owns and operates an array of Hotels and Lodges across Zimbabwe. In Victoria Falls it's sister hotel is the A Zambezi River Lodge.

Our Opinion

Rainbow hotel is conveniently located only a short walk from the town centre. This 3 Star hotel is comparable to the Kingdom, Cresta Sprayview and Elephant Hills. Its an okay hotel with nice rooms in the new wing and a lovely pool area, but for international clients we would recommend Kingdom Hotel over the Rainbow in this price bracket. However for SADC clients the Rand rate represents extremely good value and is a very appealing option.

The Rainbow Kraal Shop & Dine
Built using reeds mats, the kraal shop & dine is a place where after a long day of activities, people from all walks of life come together to relax, shop & dine and enjoy an evening filled with African Culture.

The main aim is to rekindle the evenings from long ago when our ancestors used to host the traders from overseas and give them a night filled with entertainment and feasting with game meat being the centre of the meal.

During the meal guests will be entertained by the traditional Ndebele Dancers and the Makishi from the Matonga tribe.
