I was extremely impressed by the professionalism and attention to detail shown by the entire team at both Vic Falls Island tree house suites and Vic Falls river lodge. After experiencing the rest, it’s clear that they are truly the best. The service was exceptional. A special mention to Lisa Talocchino for helping to arrange the perfect location for my proposal and coordinating with the team at the Island tree house suites. JK, the manager of the island, and Becks, our waiter, went above and beyond to make my dream a reality - and it worked, she said YES! It was truly outstanding. A heartfelt thank you. The team at Vic Falls River Lodge was equally remarkable, seamlessly continuing the exceptional service from the Island tree house suites. Mak, the manager, was outstanding - always engaging with guests, approachable and attentive. NK the manager was equally warm and welcoming. Our guide, Hkeoto, was absolutely fantastic, bringing humor and great knowledge to all our activities. A particular highlight was the Zambezi sunset cruise with Hkeoto as our skipper, a truly outstanding individual who also guided us through the Vic Falls nature walk and drove us on the safari game drive, where we were lucky to spot 3 of the Big 5. James, our housekeeper, was incredibly attentive and professional along with all the rest of the staff here at the River lodge . Thank you once again , we will be back but will stay longer next time. All the best James & Leeann Sassen

Absolutely beautiful lodge accessible by speedboat on the Zambezi River right next to a national park. Large comfortable rooms with private pool; delicious meals; wonderful staff; beautiful cruises, game drives, and a trip to the Falls. Can I give more than 5 stars?

Met or exceeded all our expectations. Food was what I would expect from a 5 star hotel, service faultless. Both land and water safaris were excellent - guides Chips and Khetto were fatastic. We were fortunate to go out on our own on several occasions with Chips who is very qualified and experienced and a great ambassador for his country and the hotel. We were fortunate to be in a Treehouse Suite, which was spotless, spacious and was the perfect place to relax in between morning and evening game excursions. Obert was faultless in serving drinks, great food and generally looking after us. Peter was excellent in managing the site. Would highly recommend - an unforgettable 4 days.

Outstanding place with oustainding stuff and wonderful tents! The design everywhere in the lodge is amazing, the tents are specious and clean. The river views stunning! Five points for the package….but….please work on the food quality…..that is max 4 stars out of 5! Not consistent….sometimes great and next moment opposite! But in this case in total….5 stars….who need with that view and package perfect food? OK….will be nice! 😉 Thanks for the outstanding time! Special thanks to Charles….great job!

The resort is an experience all by itself. Well appointed reception, excellent staff and service, rooms exceeded our expectations, clean, comfortable, high end dining by executive chefs, and right in the water so there are river tours and fishing available. Brand new safari vehicles took us to see the wild game in the National Park. Each room has its own cold plunge pool and we had two elephants drink from our pool, when we were lounging on the deck only 15 feet away!

We stayed in one of the beautiful Malachite tented suites overlooking the Zambezi. Such a beautiful, tranquil, spot. The suite was stunning, spotlessly clean and so luxurious. The staff were exceptional, nothing was too much trouble, their hospitality really was second to none. The food was excellent, every meal was fabulous! What an amazing chef they have there. On top of all that, we had our own driver (Charles) who took us on a river cruise, 2 game drives and on a guided tour around Victoria Falls. He truly was amazing and so knowledgeable. We really can’t thank the VFRL enough for such a wonderful experience. We hope we will be able to return in the future.

The VF river lodge is a pretty, rustic and cushy place. Service was very friendly though quite new and inexperienced at times. Luxury tents were spacious! In the winter time, the cold plunge pools are just that, very cold! Beautiful scenery of the Zambezi River and lodge. The AC and Heat for the tents were easy to adjust. Taking naps during the afternoons and at night, I fell into deep restful sleep. Animal sightings were as you might expect for a national park preserve. Victoria Falls is magnificently beautiful and our guide Milton went above and beyond to provide us with a great personal experience. We had a full last day and expected to enjoy the company of Milton our guide during dinner but due to a miscommunication he was not able to be accommodated at dinner. Alas our last night was a bit spoiled. Agripa was also so friendly and accommodating.

We stayed at the River Lodge for two nights. The rooms are very nice. I liked having the patio and plunge pool right on the river, and the outdoor shows is great. Two things in the room could use improvement: despite the ample space there is only one sink, and in the morning there was no hot water. We mentioned the latter to the manager and she suggested perhaps they should add insulation to the hot water tanks (which depend upon solar for their heat). That would be a great add. Other than the invigorating cold shower, this is a great place to
