Excellent base for Victoria Falls
Posted Sep 17, 2017
Pros: location, service, hourly shuttle around the town of Victoria Falls, excellent dining options, great staff
Location: everything connected to Victoria Falls, including different styles of safari, action, touring
Stayed here for 4 nights after safari in South Luangwe. This lodge is an excellent base for all activities around Victoria Falls, including visiting the falls themselves, sunset cruises, and even day trip to Chobe

Wonderful hotel in Victoria Falls
Posted Jun 30, 2017I was fortunate to stay in a two-story suite. The room was beautiful overlooking the watering hole. I highly recommend this hotel.

A very friendly place to stay.
Posted Jun 27, 2017Although a little out of town, this hotel is blessed with friendly, efficient staff who go out of their way to make your stay enjoyable. The shuttle service to town is prompt and reliable. The bonus is the feeding of the vultures which occurs daily at 1pm. A small lake which is in full view of the hotel provides a kaleidoscope of visiting wildlife, something other hotels in Victoria Falls do not cater for to the same extent.

Beware your belongings...
Posted Jun 3, 2017The lodge is situated in a beautiful natural space, and I really enjoyed viewing wildlife from the privacy of my balcony (or from the bar/restaurant area, depending on the time of day).
The room was well equipped and nicely decorated with local wildlife-themed art.
Unfortunately, my puma tennis shoes went missing from the room the day I checked out, and the hotel staff was entirely unresponsive to follow-up phone calls and emails after initial assurances from the Duty Manager, Victor Saurombe, that the Lodge would contact me within 24 hours and would compensate me for the loss. I found this unprofessional and would not stay at the Safari Lodge again on future visits.
Food was mediocre and at times flat-out bizarre -- for example, the "bruschetta" I ordered was actually a toasted sesame bun sandwich filled with carmelized onions and sun-dried tomatoes.

Charged extra for the room at checkout. TERRIBLE!
Posted Apr 10, 2017I made the reservation on Expedia. Even though the other two reservations went through as 2 people, this one went through as a single. Even though I contacted the hotel directly, well before my stay-- to arrange airport to hotel shuttle for TWO people....and two days before my stay to arrange 2 tours for TWO people. They said nothing to my during either conversation ....nor at check-in.......then, at checkout....they charged me $149 for second person. $149 for the towel my husband used to shower!!! Terrible business practice!

A magical spot in Africa
Posted Mar 21, 2017 on OrbitzA beautiful old lodge with a stunning location overlooking an active water hole. I saw elephants on 3 of my 5 nights there. The room was quiet and clean. The staff is attentive and kind.
