AI SummaryAn AI-summarised snapshot of real guest reviews
Guests appreciate the Maramba River Lodge for its clean, spacious rooms with comfortable beds, friendly staff, and well-maintained facilities. The location by the river near Victoria Falls offers scenic wildlife sightings, but some noted the need for more heating in cold nights.

A fantastic place to stay, staff friendly and helpful. This place has a certain charm , not a high end 5 star hotel but that's probably not a bad thing. The chalet I had consisted of 2 rooms , 2 aircon units and fans. The shower was great, lots of hot water, plenty of towels and clean & tidy. Very comfortable double bed, with mosquito nets. There were 2 fridges . There's a great riverside bar , beer cold and they do a great gin and tonic. A great spot to relax . The food was good, try the beef curry delicious. I enjoyed my stay here and would certainly recommend it.

Lovely place to relax watching hippos and crocodiles swim up the river. Accommodation is excellent even the outside shower. Food and staff nice too. Boat trip with Captain Elephant was so nice. This was our second visit and definitely be back.

The renovated rooms are big, comfortable beds with soft pillows. My daughter does not use a pillow but had to use one at Maramba. Breakfast was okay but served on order with limited food. On our first day for breakfast, baked beans was finished. Watched crocodile swim on the river banks and some birds flying. The Maramba water river was very dirt. The grounds need to be worked on and may consider paving the foot paths. Arrived when it was raining and stepped in mud at the Chalets. Another most disappoin**ent was on the room booking, requested for a Family Room and only to be allocated a twin room with two double beds, that's their family room type. Was expecting two separate rooms, it meant paying extra if needed another room.

Went thru reviews from pre-covid days and I can vouch that this establishment has gone above and beyond to improve their services. We only went for breakfast ,which was really good, as we went for other activities during the day. Unfortunately, we did not see the animals that other reviewers saw except for the crocodile that came to check us out for breakfast. We did see the other animals in the other activities we participated in. We were 3 adults in a family chalet and this was more than enough space for us. I will certainly come again.

Stunning tented chalets on the side of a river. Hippos and elephants wandering freely through the camp. Some renovations taking place- will be brilliant when finished. But food service very slow whilst kitchens are temporarily rehoused. Reception staff very helpful and courteous.

It was a wonderful experience. The lodge is very comfortable and friendly. Food is delicious. Set in game management area, elephants and hippos galore. Will return Kudos to all the staff for their service with a smile

We booked a luxury tent which seemed quite nice until the infestation of mosquitos appeared in the evening. Was very surprised to not have a mosquito net in the “luxury” tents. On top of that, the can of peaceful sleep left for us was empty. Thankfully we bought our own! You can see they have done a lot with the place but I think there is still a lack of a management. Lots of areas need some work, the gardens to start. The swimming pool seemed lovely (October heat and all), however the slimy bottom of the pool meant standing was an issue. Couldn’t see the slime from looking at the pool from the outside but as soon as you stepped down the steps you slipped across the bottom of the pool as there was so much slime. Playground is lovely for kids, however there was a rubbish bin that had been knocked over with rubbish including dirty nappies sprawled across the playground. Making it quite unpleasant and stinky. The rubbish bin mess was not cleared up the entire day we were there, despite lots of staff in the playground. Maybe they didn’t notice? Surprising to say the least. Pizzas were nice. Drinks were cold. However I do not think I will be staying here again.

The outdoor showers and comfy beds are my favourite part of the lodge ! Aside from that , the restaurant has exceptional food and I very much enjoyed the sunset cruise on the beautiful Maramba boat !!

The food was extremely amazing from pizza's to steaks and the staff were very accomodating. We had the best view as the elephants were crossing the river right in front of the deck. The sunset cruise and the comfy beds were great after a long day.
