Lokuthula lodge air conditioning

Kindly confirm if there are any rooms (for two adults) with air conditioning at Lokuthula? Does Lokuthula have its own restaurant or do they form part of VFSL?

Lokuthula air conditioning
by: Tony

Hi Gerhard

The Lokuthula B&B lodges have air-conditioning only in the main bedroom, not elsewhere in the lodge which is quite open. Lokuthula does have it's own restaurant and pool area but you can also use the facilities at VFSL and if you choose the B&B option then you will go for breakfast at the VFSL complex.
You can book Lokuthula as self catering or B&B, but only the B& B ones have aircon in the bedroom

From the Zambian border post to the Zimbabwe border post across the bridge is about 1.8kms. Then from the Zimbabwe border post to The Victoria falls Hotel by road is about 1.5kms. There is a slightly shorter footpath.

What is the name of mosquitto repellent you supply in the small container in the room?

by Rebecca
(California, USA)

I just returned from a stay with you (oct 9-11th). Wonderful time! Lovely stay! Anyway, we loved the insect repellent provided in a small container in the room. White cream style lotion with lemony smell. The front desk could not provide the brand name or where we could buy it. We had checked the gift shop. I would love to buy some more. Can you provide the brand name and any additonal information? It worked great and smelled nice. Thank you for any information you can provide. (The sun screen was also very nice.)

Bug Off
by: Tony

Hi Rebecca

We are agents and information for all the hotels and lodges in Victoria Falls, so not exactly sure where you were staying, so cant be exactly sure whch brand they use. The common brands are peaceful sleep and Tabard, but think the one you are referring to which has a nice citronella smell is called "bug off". Which is not readily available in Zimbabwe but easily obtainable in South Africa

Returning from Royal Livingstone
by: Tony

Hi Brian

The distance is not great, around 5 to 6kms but because of the border crossing the time varies.

In most circumstances it takes less than 1 hour and can be as little as 30minutes. Depends on the time of the day and how busy the border post is. If you have to buy any visa's it will also take a bit longer.

Advice on Victoria Falls accommodation

Hi

I am Zimbabwean and I'm planning a week's holiday in Zim with my English family - 28 March to 03 April 2015. Our party consists of myself, my daughter and husband, and her 3 children aged 17, 13 and 12.

Our budget is limited, so we need some suggestions and recommendations, please, on lower cost accommodation.

We are happy to make our own travel arrangements, but we'd prefer a package which includes return flights from Joburg and 3 or 4 nights in a budget hotel or self-catering accommodation at Victoria Falls - somewhere clean and comfortable and secure, with a swimming pool if possible.

We also hope to spend a couple of days at Matopos before returning to Joburg - if this is something you are able to advise on?

Thanks and best wishes,
Mary

Self-catering options Victoria Falls
by: Tony

Hi Mary

Thank you for contacting us. We are delighted to see that you are bringing your English family back to see Zimbabwe.

With regards to accommodation, without doubt your cheapest option is going to be staying in a self-catering lodge where you are paying for the whole lodge as opposed to a per person rate. Hotel rooms here are expensive even the cheaper hotels.

Self-catering options: – best is Lokuthula lodge, these are very reasonably priced and can sleep 6 or 8 people per lodge. Then there is also Rest Camp, slightly cheaper than Lokuthula but not quite as nice, but still perfectly acceptable.
There are a couple of houses in the Falls that the owners rent out, and you could contact us for details on these. With staying in the self-catering lodges or house it is probably best to book your accommodation and flights separately not on a package. Having said that occasionally there are packages that do include Lokuthula lodge again if you can send us a booking enquiry form we will look into this for you and get you quote.

Matopos is a difficult one to get to. I am presuming that you don’t have a car here, if you do then it is easy enough to drive there, the roads are still good enough and the distance is about 480kms.

Roads transfers can be arranged but these will cost in the region of $690 for the whole vehicle one way. Alternative is to catch the Pathfinder bus from Vic Falls to Bulawayo and then get the camp you will be staying at to collect you from Bulawayo. Pathfinder is quite cheap about $30 per person one way.

Another alternative would be to fly JHB to VF then fly onto Bulawayo and directly out of Bulawayo back to JHB. You would have to weigh up the costs of flying this route. I would recommend staying at Amalinda Lodge in Matopos.

Do the 2-bed rondavel chalets have electric plugs for charging batteries, laptops, etc., etc. ?

Answer:

I am really not 100% sure, but I would presume so seeing that they are electrified. The central area by the pool and bar certainly has plug sockets for charging.

Packages/accommodation for people from Bulawayo

Are there any packages available for people from Bulawayo? If not, then am looking for accommodation of one room with two single beds. Single mum and 9 year old son needs to be very reasonble as we're on a tight shoestring. Will have no transport when we get there (will have to take a bus or find some other way to get to the Falls.) My son has never seen the Falls, we've had an exhausting year and, somehow, I really want to be able to give him this trip - around Christmas (praying for a miracle) or around my son's birthday, 16th December.

What can you suggest, please?

Bulawayo to Victoria Falls
by: Tony

Hi there

Unfortunately there are no packages that one can get that I know of from Bulawayo to Victoria Falls. The cheapest option I can suggest for you is that you catch the pathfinder bus which leaves Bulawayo every lunchtime and gets to Victoria Falls at about 7pm. The cost is $30 for adults and $20 for children each way. It is a very good service.
For budget accommodation I would recommend Adventure lodge $88 per room per night or the N1 lodge at $60 per room per night. The N1 lodge is right in town so you would not need transport.

Please let me know if you need any help with making these bookings. You can email us on info@victoriafalls-guide.net

Difference between Ilala and Kingdom
by: Tony

Hi Kenneth

Thank you for your question. These hotels are quite different although they are very close to each other, literally across the road from one another. They are the two closest hotels to the Victoria Falls entrance and it is just a couple of minutes walk.

Kingdom is a big hotel with about 250 rooms, I would say it is more of a family hotel, with big swimming pools, several restaurants and a casino as well. Big groups normally stay here.

Ilala is much more of a boutique hotel, upmarket and I would say more suited to mature couples. I think it only has about 20 rooms, maybe a few more.

The Palm restaurant at Ilala has an al a carte menu and is renowned for top quality food. Kingdom has buffet meals in the white water restaurant (I think quite expensive for what you get) and then it also has a pizza restaurant and a steak house. So much more casual than Ilala.

I would recommend either of them as they are both good hotels but just suited to different preferences and budget. Ilala is more expensive than Kindgom because of the reasons outlined above.

I hope that helps you in making a desicion. Please let me know if you have any more queries.

If you need any help in making a booking at one of these places, please conatct us we can normally get quite good rates with either of these places.

Packages to Vic Falls
by: Boo

Hi Wendy

The best way to get to Vic Falls from Joburg would be to book a package that includes return flights - there are a number of these and depending on the dates and the flights that are still available can be reasonable - but I would suggest that you send us a contact us form with the information and we can work together with you on what works best for you.

Air Zimbabwe has flight three times a week on Fridays, Sundays and Wednesdays and they are very reasonable - so if these days work for you - I would suggest looking at these with maybe staying at the Kingdom Hotel.

But as I said all depends on the dates - will look out for the contact us and assist you from there.
Thanks
Boo

National Park Chalets

Hi there,

I am travelling to Vic Falls with my sister and her husband in january next year. We were hoping to stay in the chalets in the national park as my parents stayed there on a trip in their 20s. Is it possible to stay in the national Park for several days? do you need a car with you? What sort of activities are there in the park and is it far from the town centre?

Zambezi National Parks Chalets
by: Tony

Yes it is possible to stay in the National parks chalets for as many days as you like. They are quite difficult to book and pay for as this has to be done through the central reservations in Harare and money has to be sent to their bank account. I can give you details of who to contact if you need.

I would say that yes you do need a car, the chalets are about 6 kms from the town center and there is very little to do there apart from enjoy being in the bush. The main activity would be relaxing, game viewing and birdwatching.

There is no public transport between the lodges and town. You could probably walk up to the A Zambezi hotel and catch one of their transfers into town.

It all depends really on what you are trying to achieve, but in my view the chalets are suited more suited to self drive travellers, who are a bit experienced in the African bush and want to do their own games drives etc around the Park. Then these are great.

We have this page on the Zambezi National Park which will probably be useful to you in your research.

let me know if I can be of any more help.
Best Regards

Plumtree accommodation
by: Tony

Hi Wayne

Not sure I can help with this one. I drove through plumtree last week and although I was not really looking I certainly did not see any accommodation available. It is a very small place and any decent accommodation establishment just wouldn't survive.
I also cant find any numbers for plumtree school.

Do you have to stay there? byo is only 100km away.

Just outside Figtree there is a new garage and supermarket and there is possibly accommodation there but I just cant promise.

Hope someone else can help also Try the SA 4x4 forum

Hotel information
by: Tony

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.

Hi, we are a family of 4 (2 adults + 10 / 12 year old boys) who are wanting to go on a houseboat (nothing too fancy as cost way over the top) from Livingstone. we have flown over and seen boats moored on the side of the river - are these houseboats? I know there are a few up near kasane, but are they ALL super luxurious or are they more affordable ones and also smaller ones for 4 of us.

We are wanting to travel 20-25 June (3 nights in a houseboat and 2 nights at a hotel).

Cruise Boats
by: Tony

Hi Suzie

The boats that you see moored along the bank of the Zambezi are cruise boats for the sunset cruises etc. Certainly on the Zimbabwe side as far as I know, none of them are houseboats for hire.
The navigable stretch of river for such a large vessel is very limited, that's why small boats are used for going amongst the islands etc. The large cruise boats stick to one small section.

Sorry can't help, I will keep and ear out for anything suitable and let you know.

Logistics of crossing intpo Zambia
by: Tony

Hi There

If you want to stay in Zambia that is no problem, you would simply catch a transfer from the Zimbabwe airport across to Zambia.
The implications of this are:
1) The transfers there and back are going to be double the price. VFA to Livinsgtone town in 2015 = $41 per person. VFA to VF town =$16
2) Depending on you passoprt you might need extra visa's
3) You have to go through the border post there and back, which is a bit of a hassle.

I wonder why you would want to stay in Zambia? if you have already flown into Zimbabwe. The accommodation and activities are more expensive. The localities unless staying at one of the hotels right by the Falls are much more difficult and the view from the Zambian side is only 25% of the Falls.
Most people do it the other way around and fly into Livingstone Zambia because the flights were often cheaper (but not so these days) and then cross into Zimbabwe because of the many reasons mentioned above. Please look at this webpage that compares the 2 countries Zimbabwe vs Zambia

South Africa and Zimbabwe plug sockets
by: Tony

Hi Stacy

Firstly let me apologise for the very late response to your question, Boo and I have been travelling through the Zambezi valley for the last 4 weeks and have had no internet connection. We are now back in Vic Falls.

You dont say where in Africa you are travelling it is a big continent with many countries. I can only comment on South Africa and Zimbabwe.

South Africa uses 15amp 3 pin round plugs
Zimbabwe use 13amp 3 pin square plugs

However as many of the tourists travelling here are from the states most of the major hotel rooms will have multiple sockets for international guests and if they dont have a plug in the room they almost certainly will have one at reception

Price per person sharing per night

by Lilly
(United States)

My fiancé and I are planning a trip to Victoria Falls and for the accommodations they are specified as "price per person sharing per night", I'm slightly confused with the phrasing. It's just going to be the two of us so if a hotel is $215 per night per person sharing, would we have to pay $430 because there's two of us or just the $215 because we would be sharing the room?

If you want to stay in Livingstone with a hotel on the river at an affordable price then I would recommend the Waterfront hotel. Not fancy and could do with a refurb but its okay if you are not fussy and has a good atmosphere and nice pool.
Not sure why you think the Zim side is very touristy as opposed to the Zambian side. The Zim side is actually a much nicer town in lots of respects.
Zimbabwe has the most viewpoints so it would be remiss not to see the Falls from the Zim side as you wouldn't really have seen all of the waterfall, if you only see it from Zambia.

May 23-27

Hi there,

We are looking to come to Victoria Falls May 23 (mid-day from JNB) till May 27 (mid-day to ADD).

There's two of us, and we look for a place to stay and some activities, and it will get great if you guys can help.

Our requirements are:

Place to stay: hotel/lodge with good high-speed WiFi (plan to work a day or two) and AC. We don't look for anything fancy, but will not refuse to splurge if affordable.

Activities: we would want a trip to Chobe on May 24 or 25, or a trip with an overnight stay there on May 24-25, but we are very concerned with the accommodations as a tent stay is a bit scary.

Do you think you can help?

Thank you very much in advance,

ilya

Choosing between 2 accommodations

Hi, I am trying to decide between staying at Victoria falls hotel and Victoria falls river lodge (2 night stay) will be travelling to the Okavango delta after and staying at a safari camp. Would it be worth spending more to stay at Victoria falls river lodge? I have read some online reviews about Victoria falls hotel and I am slightly concerned that the rooms will be dated/not well maintained. Thanks for your advice!

Victoria Falls River lodge
by: Tony

In my opinion it would be worth staying at the Victoria Falls River Lodge. The setting is beautiful and the rate includes activities and full board so the price differential is not that great.
Victoria Falls hotel is expensive for what it is but it does have a lot of history and is well worth a visit for high tea to see it but not to stay there.
