There are superb luxury lodges and boutique hotels in Zambia and Zimbabwe which offer stylish rooms and spacious, lavish suites. Expect a host of activities, elegant bars, fine gourmet dining with wine pairings, gyms, spas, swimming pools, 24-hour room service and butlers, and beautiful grounds. In some places, you’ll find wild animals grazing on the lawns.
It’s effortless to have a luxury trip to Victoria Falls: simply book your five-star hotel, and they’ll organize everything for you, from airport transfers to guided tours of Victoria Falls, to all the exciting activities.
Take your pick from hotels with rolling green lawns situated on the banks of the Zambezi, or, for more of a safari experience, stay in a lodge inside the Zambezi National Park or in a private concession on the Zimbabwean side, where you’re immersed in the bush but only a short drive away from the waterfalls.
Highlights of a luxury trip to Victoria Falls include watching wildlife graze on the hotel lawns from your balcony or terrace, tucking into an indulgent spread for High Tea (with a view of the spray of Falls in the distance), and candlelit private dinners at a table set up for you in the garden. Take a helicopter flight over the falls, sunset cruises on the Zambezi River with cocktails and snacks, walking safaris, and private guided game drives in the Zambezi National Park.
Indulge in spa treatments a few steps away from the river, a gourmet five-course dinner with wines onboard an old steam train, and day trips to the magnificent Chobe National Park in Botswana and Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe.
If you’re planning on visiting other destinations in Zimbabwe or Zambia after your stay in Victoria Falls, the most luxurious way to travel is by private charter plane.
