This was the final stop on my Globus tour of South Africa and Victoria Falls (I didn't do either of the 2 extensions). This lodge is very close to the absolutely stunning Victoria Falls as well as the 1 lane bridge that links Zimbabwe to Zambia. Also, if you want to mail something, it's within walking distance of a Zimbabwean post office (I like to mail postcards to various friends and family even though it cost $6 U.S. to mail 1 postcard from Zimbabwe). My room was immaculate though I felt there was a little bit of walk to get to the hotel restaurant. The restaurant does have a nice breakfast buffet as well as bar where I got to enjoy a Zambezi lager (it was a decent beer). One interesting thing about Victoria Falls is that various animals may wander through town and around the hotel. When I stayed at this lodge, a baboon actually climbed on top of the lodge roof. Another time, I saw an antelope looking thing munching away on the lodge lawn. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. Parking was decent though I used either the tour bus or twice caught a taxi to and from the bridge (I wanted to do a quick dash over to Zambia and had paid the extra $10 U.S. for a multiple entry Zimbabwean visa). Overall, I had a very nice stay at this lodge and seeing the fabulous Victoria Falls was 1 of the highlights of my tour.
