A warm welcome from victoria Falls River Lodge

Nestled upstream from the iconic Victoria Falls, amidst lush indigenous bush on the Zimbabwean side of the mighty Zambezi River, Victoria Falls River Lodge awaits. Established in 2012 as the first private game lodge within Zambezi National Park, this pioneering retreat sits gracefully on the banks of the untamed Zambezi River.

As custodians of this pristine African wilderness, we have meticulously developed our lodge with a deep respect for the natural environment. Guests enjoy unparalleled proximity to the majestic Victoria Falls, where the distant spray can be glimpsed, yet revel in the serene and unspoilt surroundings, offering an authentic African safari experience with secluded privacy.

Discerning travellers are treated to service excellence that rivals the world’s top luxury establishments. At Victoria Falls River Lodge, it’s not just about accolades and awards; it’s about the personal connections guests forge with our warm Zimbabwean staff, enveloped in genuine African hospitality.

A hallmark of our lodge is the meticulous attention to detail in every shared hospitality area and private living space. From the artful integration of local décor to the architectural harmony with the natural landscape, each moment at our lodge is a sensory delight, no matter the season or time of day.

We extend a heartfelt invitation to explore this extraordinary corner of the world. There truly is no place quite like Victoria Falls River Lodge.

Wonderful experience!
We stayed 3 days at the Hippo Villa and the facilities were outstanding. The service was excellent and all the staff members are always trying to make you happy and fully satisfied with your stay. It was a great choice!!

A must have on your bucket list!
My favourite holiday accommodation by far! The rooms are breath-taking (plus gorgeous, gorgeous views from there). The service is top notch, and the food is amazing. I loved every bit of my stay. The staff is very kind and made me feel like I was the only customer they were taking care of .

Great Tree House vacation
My husband and I stayed at the tree houses for 3 nights. It was a wonderful experience. The food was amazing, the service impeccable and was close to the Falls. We also did a river cruise and game drive – both great outings. I’d like to give a special shout out to our Butler, Reeves and our activities guy, Crawford – all wonderful!

A wonderful experience. Great to be able to combine a falls visit with game drives and a river cruise. So special.
What a wonderful experience! The staff were really wonderful, especially our excellent guide, Jamie. He was cheerful, knowledgeable and very accommodating. The malachite chalets are outstanding and very well equipped. An amazing two days that I will always remember.

We spent 5 great days at the Victoria Falls River Lodge. We had our room on their little island in the river, which only has 6 villas on it. The stay and the tours were just fantastic. A once-in-a-lifetime experience! With super friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Can I give this 6 circles, please?
Our 2-night stay at the Island Lodge wasn’t NEARLY long enough – we wanted to LIVE here! The staff: Obey, Mathias, Blessing, Bill and others… were exceptionally helpful, friendly and welcoming. And the cabins on stilts over the Zambezi with plunge pools and indoor-outdoor living are the most astonishing of any camp I’ve ever seen! Best of all are the elevated walkways allowing guests to view elephants and hippos grazing below. And the meals are divine, served with care and class.

Victoria Falls Zimbabwe Safari Tour
We had no idea what to expect. First time in Africa! Checked into a private villa (they call it a lux tent, but much better! ) curated meals, gym, pool, incredible food. The service was first rate. But the standout was the quality of our guide, FAITH. He showed us the Falls – amazing, river tour, and safari tour. We saw elephants, zebra, impala, baboon, monkeys, hippos, kudo, etc. All in comfort and safety. We are seasoned 40-year travellers, this experience was one of the best. Cannot recommend it highly enough!

The lodge offered everything and more than we expected. The staff was fantastic and very cooperative. The food was excellent and our room was spotless. I highly recommend the lodge if this is what you’re looking for. It is exactly as presented on their website.

Well appointed... Well done!
From the moment we arrived at the Victoria Falls airport, to the moment we departed, the VFRL team took great care. Tree House suites on the Zambezi river were excellent. Guide was top notch. Personalized tour of the Falls and wildlife on the river. Simply brilliant! Peter and his staff conduct a fine operation. Suites were brand new and impeccably appointed.
