Introduction

Tucked away in a quiet residential suburb of Victoria Falls, Zimbara offers guests the perfect blend of privacy, comfort and convenience. Just a short drive (around 5–10 minutes) from the town centre and the entrance to the Falls, Zimbara is ideal for families, groups of friends or independent travellers looking for a fully-equipped self-catering option in a peaceful setting.

Zimbara's layout comprises a cluster of smartly designed, modern villas and chalets, all set within spacious, leafy grounds. There's a sense of home here, with welcoming interiors, shaded verandas, and neat gardens that add to the overall relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Guests can enjoy the independence of preparing their own meals while still being close enough to enjoy everything Victoria Falls has to offer.

Each unit is tastefully decorated with African accents and features comfortable furnishings, open-plan living areas and fully equipped kitchens. All bedrooms are air-conditioned and come with mosquito nets and generous storage. Outdoor braai areas and private patios make it easy to enjoy the warm evenings or entertain friends and family.

Our Opinion

Zimbara is an excellent option for those wanting a little more space, privacy and flexibility than a hotel stay offers. The self-catering units are clean, spacious and thoughtfully equipped, offering great value—especially for longer stays or small groups. It's perfect for guests wanting to escape the busy hotels and retreat to a more peaceful, residential setting. While not within walking distance of town or the Falls, the short drive is easy, and taxis are readily available.

Customer Feedback

Brilliant service and so helpful
by Sally (Blisworth, U.K.)
I stumbled across Victoria Fall Guide by accident, but I am so glad I did. Tony and Boo were so helpful, advising us on the best activities for us as I have mobility issues, and arranging our itinerary and booking everything. I had no worries about using them, or sending a very large payment to someone I didn’t know. Everything they booked for us was so well organised, pick ups on time, knowledgeable and friendly guides, clean transport. We did the walking tour of the falls, the sunset dinner cruise, full day at Chobe, the team, lion encounter and the helicopter and every single one was faultless. We were also due to do the lunar rainbow but unfortunately it was cancelled, however boo arranged the refund immediately. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone. We are so grateful to them for making our special holiday even more so.
