Victoria Falls Safari Lodge

Share this post

When Victoria Falls Safari Lodge was constructed, it was the first tourism construction project in Zimbabwe to use an environmental architect, which is immediately apparent in the location and structure of the buildings themselves.  The Victoria Falls Safari Lodge is located a few minutes’ drive (+/- 10 minutes) from Victoria Falls town and outside of the helicopter fly-zone, making it one of the most peaceful lodges in Victoria Falls.

Set on a plateau, which forms a boundary to the Zambezi National Park, Victoria Falls Safari Lodge enjoys expansive views of unspoilt bushveld and spectacular African sunsets. The lodge overlooks a waterhole, located in front of the central building and viewing deck, which is often frequented by elephants, buffalo and kudu. The central area is also where the three-tier swimming pool with paddle pool is located, with its own sun deck overlooking the waterhole.   

The lodge offers a 24-hour reception service and has complimentary Wi-Fi throughout the lodge.   A private residents’ lounge is located in the apex of the central building, as well as a TV lounge with international channels.  For those needing to stay connected or do business, there is an Internet lounge which has two computer stations.

There are 72 rooms/suites in total, which consist of:

  • 24 x standard king/twin rooms
  • 42 x waterhole facing king/twin rooms
  • 6 x king waterhole facing suites

NB: There are 5 sets of interleading rooms.

All Lodge Standard Rooms and Lodge Waterhole Facing Rooms have 2 three-quarter beds that can be converted to a king size bed.  All beds are extra length. The 6 Lodge Waterhole Facing Suites all have king size beds.  All rooms are non-smoking, with their own private patio and have a mini-bar (which can be stocked on request for the guest’s account), a digital safe, a telephone, international multi-sockets/charging points, air conditioning, a ceiling fan, a hair-dryer, a mosquito net, guest amenities and complimentary tea/coffee making facilities.

The Lodge Standard Rooms (30 m2 / 320 ft2) have:

  • Bathroom with walk-in rainfall shower.

The Lodge Waterhole Facing Rooms (30 m2 / 320 ft2) have:

We had a fantastic experience with Bryony and her team. Bryony is clearly knowledgeable about the region and guided us through our options and the Lake Kariba houseboat booking and choices. We had a fantastic time and I would thoroughly recommend using Heartveld.

We have just had an amazing 6 nights on Tambarara houseboat organised by Heartveld Adventures. The boat was very comfortable and the staff were excellent. The captain, Reg, was very professional and helpful, the chef cooked delicious meals, the barman kept our drinks flowing, the cleaners left animals made from our towels on our beds at night and the guys on the tender boat were so good with the boys aged 3, 5, 7 and 9 showing them what to do and putting on worms, for us as well. Highly recommended.

The trip was all you could ask for when you want to relax and forget about the world. Captain Godrey and his team consisting Pilot, Chef Takesure and Silas made our stay comfortable and easy. The food was flavourful and filling. You couldn’t say no to Chef Takesure’s meals. Silas kept our cooler box ready every day because he knew we loved our drinks cold and first thing in the morning. Pilot and Captain Godfrey took us to amazing views, magical sunset cruises and helped me find all the crocodiles I was looking for. I totally recommend Heartveld Adventures for all your Kariba fantasies! ☀️⛴️🍹#February2025

Right from when I started researching the trip in November last year, Bryony has been an absolute star. Nothing was ever too much hassle, especially with the rigours of trying to effect payment then! Then the houseboat in Kariba! What an amazing trip we had on the Ponty, and once again Bryony organised transfers and things on the spot, awesome and a big thank you to you and Char, the Ponty was the highlight of our Zim Epic! I cannot recommend Bryony and Heartveld Adventures enough, was so good to meet you at Charara, Cheers and thanks again Glenn and Family.

Heartveld Adventures really goes the extra mile when it comes to customer service. They really think of everything that would be needed for a great holiday. We've been on Driftwood Houseboat twice and am going on the African Queen in September 24. Really is an amazing experience with amazing staff, very helpful and caring about your comfort and enjoyment. Thank you so much 💖

Came across Heartveld Adventures blog by chance whilst trying to plan a holiday adventure in Zimbabwe.Offloaded my thoughts to Bryony, and a well sorted package with more than I asked for was presented.Stopped looking all over the internet for any possible deals, as this was the DEAL.If your intention is to go to Zimbabwe and enjoy its hidden treasures whilst accommodated in places you wouldn't have thought of and known existed, then save yourself the trouble, and get hold of Heartveld Adventures. Their service is what makes the country keeps going.Well done Bryony
