The Victoria Falls Hotel

I arrived without realizing a reservation was required for the restaurant, but the welcoming staff greeted me warmly and said, "No worries, how could I let you leave disappointed?" and kindly arranged a table for me right away. My server, Faith, was exceptionally attentive, warm, and friendly throughout. I ordered a salad, a coffee, and a non-alcoholic beer--everything was fantastic. The salad was fresh and delicious, and the view is simply world-class. Considering the overall experience, the prices are very reasonable and well worth it. Everything here is outstanding: the breathtaking views, impeccable service, great food quality, and comfortable ambiance. If you ever visit Victoria Falls, you definitely shouldn't miss coming here for lunch or dinner. I loved my lunch so much that I immediately booked a table for dinner before leaving! Highly recommended! PS: Internet is super fast here.

Absolutely breath taking location looking straight at the iconic Victoria Falls Bridge in the distance. Feels like you have been transported into an EM Forster novel. Good selection of drinks & nibbles for high tea.

The Victoria Falls Hotel offers one of the most elegant afternoon tea experiences you could hope for. If you appreciate the charm of a traditional English high tea, this is an experience not to be missed. Enjoying tea on the terrace while overlooking the iconic Victoria Falls Bridge and the dramatic Batoka Gorge is something truly special. To make the setting even more memorable, a pianist performs beautiful classical pieces on a grand piano, adding a timeless elegance that perfectly complements the historic surroundings. The staff are exceptionally friendly, attentive, and professional, making you feel welcome from the moment you arrive. The beautifully maintained gardens and historic buildings are immaculate and invite you to wander around before or after your tea. The selection of sweet and savoury treats is delightful, and the entire experience feels refined without being pretentious. Booking well in advance is essential, as it's understandably a popular experience. If you're visiting Victoria Falls and looking for something truly memorable, this is an absolute must.

My only regret is that we only spent one night of our honeymoon at The Victoria Falls Hotel. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that we were in for an exceptional experience. We were greeted by the beaming smile of our porter, Samson, who guided us to check-in while sharing fascinating insights into the hotel’s rich history. He then introduced us to Sharon, who was the definition of a true professional. With just a few thoughtful questions, she intuitively curated our experience—arranging an extended checkout, securing our dinner reservation and spa booking, and organizing transport to see the Falls. She could not have done more to make our stay feel seamless and special. While the Falls themselves are nothing short of majestic, the hotel provided the perfect sanctuary to return to. We enjoyed the most elegant dining experience of our lives at the Livingstone Suite. Simba and his team were incredible; they glided through the restaurant with effortless grace, anticipating every need before we even had to ask. This standard of service continued through breakfast the following morning, where Sydney and his team provided a different, yet equally memorable, fine-dining experience. Our visit was perfectly concluded with a fantastic massage, leaving us thoroughly relaxed as we head off for the next leg of our honeymoon. We have already decided that The Victoria Falls Hotel will be our designated destination for our future milestone anniversaries; it is truly the only place we would want to mark those occasions. Thank you to everyone for making our start as a married couple so magical—we look forward to our next visit.
