The Victoria Falls Safari Lodge aims for the thatch-and-wood feel of a traditional bush lodge, yet within reach of the Falls. It is too big to achieve the intimacy of such lodges, but does have a relaxed, rural atmosphere away from the bustle of town. It is very comfortable, and if you don't want to venture out then the rooms overlook a water-hole which attracts game from the nearby Zambezi National Park. Its restaurant has a good reputation, and the bar is quite a meeting place.
