Where to stay in Victoria Falls

Most visitors stay in or around Victoria Falls town, on the Zimbabwean side of the Falls. Where you stay shapes the feel of your trip, so it is worth choosing the area before the property.

We book accommodation on its own or as part of a trip. Tell us your dates, who is travelling and your budget, and we will suggest places that fit.

Areas to consider

  • In town : Close to the Falls, restaurants and shops, with many activities starting nearby.
  • On the upper Zambezi : Riverside lodges upstream of the Falls: quieter, with river views and wildlife on the banks.
  • Near Zambezi National Park : Lodges and camps on the edge of the bush, a short drive from town.

Types of accommodation

  • Hotels : From classic hotels to modern stays, many close to the centre of town.
  • Lodges : Safari-style lodges, often with river or bush views.
  • Guesthouses : Smaller, personal places to stay, often good value.
  • Self-catering : Apartments and houses for families and groups who want their own space.
  • Camps : Tented camps and campsites for a simpler stay closer to nature.

Choosing the right place

Think about how you will spend your days. If you plan several activities, staying in town keeps travel short. If you want to slow down, a lodge on the river or near the park may suit you better.

Let us know about children, accessibility needs or special occasions so we can suggest places that work for everyone. Popular places can fill up at busy times of year, so it helps to ask early.

Accommodation elsewhere in Zimbabwe

  • Hwange National Park : Safari lodges and camps for game drives.
  • Lake Kariba : Lakeside stays and houseboats on the lake.
  • Mana Pools : Remote camps along the Zambezi.
  • Bulawayo and the Matobo Hills : City hotels and lodges in the hills.
  • Masvingo : Stays close to Great Zimbabwe.
  • Harare : Hotels and guesthouses in the capital.
  • Mutare and Nyanga : Stays in the cooler Eastern Highlands.

How booking works

  • Step 1 : Tell us your dates, number of guests and budget
  • Step 2 : We suggest options that fit, with what is included
  • Step 3 : You choose, and we confirm the booking with you
  • Step 4 : Add transfers or experiences if you would like them

Room-only is fine. You can add transfers or activities at any point.

Booking only a room? That is fine with us. If your plans grow, we can add transfers, activities or a safari later.
