"I loved my stay at Lake Safari Lodge. The rooms were very comfortable with a nice seating area outside with great views of the lake. The grounds are beautiful- full of flowers and trees and with lots of seating from where you can admire different views of the lake. The view from the infinity pool is stunning. Lovely buffet breakfast with a great selection - the fruit platter is a work of art ! But most of all it was the friendliness of the staff which made my stay. From the owner to the waiting...

"The property had a beautiful view from the top apartment. The female host was very welcoming. However, from being shown around the accomodation it was clearly not as described or in a fit condition to host guests. There was a large hole in the ceiling presumably from a roof leak, it was furnished very sparsely and dated. The host explained that the kitchen cupboards were pulled out as they were being treated for termites! All around the kitchen was powder treating the termite problem. The...

"Tongabezi is amazing!! I stayed for one week and didnt want to leave. If you are traveling from Zimbabwe it is very easy to cross the border and get to the hotel (they will arrange everything for you) Pros: The rooms are huge, internet is perfect (which was an issue in other places on my trip), rooms are elegant and modern (the decoration is BEAUTIFUL) and the food is really good (and healthy!) and the whole place is run perfect Mwila, the manager. Also- they have a gym! Which is amazing as...

"Beautiful grounds with Zebras and Giraffes wandering around. Very warm welcome from their welcoming staff and everyone was great. That being said, the lady who processed our check in was rather peculiar and annoying. We were tired after a long journey and she just seemed to be relentless and making us book restaurants at the hotel for every night of our stay and said how they get full service quickly. They don’t. Seemed to almost hold the room key hostage until we had made some bookings which...

5/5 Excellent

Fantastic hotel in the heart of Victoria Falls

"This little hotel is perfectly situated in the center of Victoria Falls. While fairly simple (no slippers or bathrobes here!) it was clean and comfortable. The staff is excellent and responsive. They arranged my airport transport for me $28 round trip. There is a pool but the weather was too rainy to enjoy. In addition to onsite dining which I did not use, the 3 Monkeys nearby is excellent. There was a refrigerator and microwave available in the common space for my leftovers. Wifi was very good and the rooms had great AC. Easy walk to the falls from here, and also easy to walk over to the Zambian side. I walked the whole way there and back and saw both sides includong border crossing in 4-5 hours. Since i did not take a taxi it was 10 miles (16km) total and my legs were tired! Consider a taxi on the way back for $1-2. I would highly recommend this property and would definitely stay again. "

"September 2024. What a wonderful gem of a place! I was impressed with the beautiful rooms, and the incredible self-catering utilities available to us. The host who greeted me on my arrival was extremely friendly and helpful. He went out of his way to make my stay comfortable. The property is very safe and secure with locked gate, and undercover parking, so my vehicle was out of the hot sun! Stunning views of the sunset over Lake Kariba, and a beautiful, clean swimming pool. What I particularly appreciated was that one could also access the communal lounge, dining area, and kitchen through an internal locked door leading from the room. The huge kitchen was spotless and had everything you need for cooking, cleaning, etc. I will definitely be returning. Thank you for a wonderful stay! "

A beautiful Oasis on the lake

"We stayed here as a recovery from a road trip around Zambia and it was perfect. They are very customer service oriented. The large open space was perfect for relaxing on the couch with a view of the lake, a snack or sip in the pool. There was always someone around to get you anything you wanted. I’d stay here again. "
