Shongwe Lookout Guest Lodge, is situated in the suburbs of Victoria Falls town, 1 kilometer from the shops, and just over 2 kilometers walk from the Victoria Falls themselves. The lodge has a unique selling point in that the rooms and entertainment area are built around the base of a 2 storey platform, in which guests are able to walk to either of the 2 levels of the lookout tower and view the magnificent vistas of the surrounding town, the Zambezi River, and they can even see the spray from the Victoria Falls. Also located in the lookout tower is a small gallery selling artwork by the locally based artist Nicole Sanderson.
There is a beautiful infinity swimming pool located just off the central entertainment area, with sun loungers and staff available to ensure you are able to enjoy this setting to the maximum. The entertainment area, locally known as the Kuhlangana Area (place of gathering), boasts a world class restaurant and bar, with an aromatic coffee station supporting locally roasted artisan coffee produced in Zimbabwe called Mushe Coffee. For those wanting something a little different for dinner, why not request a braai (BBQ) at the on-site Boma area under the stars.
