Bedbugs. Along with several people who travelled with me, I am not enjoying the aftermath of rooms with bedbugs. We thought they were mosquito bites at first, but the grouping and large discoloured red areas on the skin are caused by bedbugs. The heat and extreme itch are more severe than symptoms connected to mosquito bites.
We had an absolutely lovely three-night stay at Little Outlook in Victoria Falls. The place is perfect for couples, offering a peaceful and charming atmosphere. The accommodation was clean, cosy, and beautifully decorated, with everything we needed to feel at home. The bed was very comfortable, and we loved sitting on the veranda relaxing after our outings. The location is excellent – close enough to the main attractions like the Falls but tucked away enough to feel private and serene. We appreciated the helpfulness of the staff. Breakfasts were fresh and delicious, and the service was always friendly and attentive. The team made sure we were well taken care of throughout our stay. Little Outlook truly feels like a hidden gem. We would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a romantic and relaxing getaway in Victoria Falls. We hope to return someday!
I found it! I know longer need to try a new hotel on my next trip to the Victoria Falls area. This was a new hotel for me as I travel for pleasure most but some mission work in the local and rural community. Very: beautiful comfortable and very clean Some luxury Food for all 3 meals was excellent And, price! I didn’t need to pay the high prices to get everything above. Oh, the Staff! Made my week+ stay absolutely wonderful. I could mention over 10 by name by I fear I’d miss somebody (or spell their name wrong).

The Azambezi Hotel in Zimbabwe's Victoria Falls is an exceptional destination that exceeded my every expectation. From the moment I arrived at the property, I was struck by its stunning beauty and tranquil atmosphere. The hotel is set in a lush garden, with a gorgeous view of the Zambezi River, and is just a short distance from the world-famous Victoria Falls.
The rooms at the Azambezi Hotel are beautifully decorated, with all the modern amenities you could want. Each room has its own private balcony or patio, with breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. I particularly appreciated the attention to detail in the decor, which reflected the local culture and history, without sacrificing comfort or luxury.
The hotel's staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, always going above and beyond to ensure that my stay was a memorable one. Whether it was arranging for transportation to the falls or suggesting local activities and attractions, they were always available and eager to help.
The food at the Azambezi Hotel was truly exceptional. The restaurant offered a wide range of delicious local and international cuisine, and the presentation was always impeccable. I particularly enjoyed the breakfast buffet, which featured a variety of fresh, locally sourced ingredients.
Finally, the hotel's location was simply unbeatable. With its proximity to the Victoria Falls, I was able to explore the area easily and take in all the breathtaking natural beauty of this world wonder. The hotel also offers a range of activities, from river cruises to guided tours of the falls, ensuring that there was always something to do and see.
In summary, the Azambezi Hotel is an outstanding destination that I would recommend to anyone looking for a luxurious and unforgettable experience in Zimbabwe's Victoria Falls. With its beautiful setting, exceptional service, and top-notch amenities, it truly exceeded my every expectation.
Also if you are lucky you will see some animals roaming around the garden as I spotted this elephant at night in the car park!
Great place to stay in Victoria Falls. The staff were very helpful and accomodating, the room was spacious and clean and the lookout tower and pool on site were added bonuses. It was also not too far from the falls entrance or any of the activities we did so pick up was convenient and quick. We were actually thinking about walking to the falls but it was so hot (100F+) that it was not feasible but for us if it was cooler we would have just walked. Breakfast was included with the stay and was very good. We expected a buffet style but we were actually able to order off a menu and a small buffet table of fruit, pastries, and yogurt was also available. We also had dinner one night which was good and decently priced for the area. The staff were also helpful in arranging airport transfers and also offered to book tours which we ended up booking a Chobe day tour through them which was great. Overall highly recommend this location when staying in Victoria Falls.
I've long been drawn to the vibrant, multi-colored bougainvillea fence, so I was thrilled to experience the comforts within. The well-sized rooms are tastefully furnished, while the generous bathroom boasts both a tub and shower. However, I found the pin shower heads, common in this country, perplexing. Please try a drum head. This medium-sized lodge is ideal for family gatherings and events with friends. Gamu, embodies exceptional guest hospitality from her command post at the reception. The dining staff, including two Melodies and More Blessing, have a keen understanding of attentive service. As with many Zim establishments, the steak will be your best bet for food. The cheesecake earns special mention for those with a sweet tooth. I enjoyed the lodge's serene setting and proximity to Victoria Falls, accessible via a scenic downhill run. The pricing was reasonable.
KKobe & KyleThe Hostel grounds themselves and the tent was very clean. We just did not realize that by booking a “double room” that it was actually a tent. The provided fan was nice and kept us cool in the evening and pool kept us clean during the day.
The location though is a bit outside of the town center though so you either need a car or to call a taxi to get anywhere.
The restaurant onsite was okay, but it wasn’t explained to us that occasionally they have a special BBQ and you can’t order anything else from the menu. If we knew that at the time, we would have stopped at the market and self catered.
But the staff was all lovely and helpful.
Fantastic value for money. A friendly welcome. Room was adequate but bathroom small. We were not there for luxury but wanted a base and somewhere friendly and clean. Livingstone lodge certainly was that. Great laundry facilities Breakfast was good cooked fresh to order. Highly recommend the on site massage and beauty salon. Luggage storage available
