The Victoria Falls Hotel

The Victoria Falls Hotel has been the address of choice for more than a century for royal families, statesmen, celebrities, and the discerning traveler. It occupies a fine location from which to explore the magical wonders of untamed Africa. Just a ten minute walk from Victoria Falls using the hotel’s private pathway. Popularly known as “the grand old lady of the Falls”, it is situated in the Victoria Falls National Park, a world heritage site. And is a member of the exclusive Leading Hotels of the World group

Serene Lily ponds, arched loggias, and broad verandas; offering magnificent vistas seem custom built for a spot of high tea. Or a relaxed gin and tonic. For more than 110 years, The Victoria Falls Hotel has been a luxury icon in Africa.

A large swimming pool, two tennis courts, a Spa, a mini fitness room, a library, reading rooms, and a chapel are part of the complex. In addition, there is a gift shop, and a hairdresser. The Stone Dynamics studio has stone sculptures on display and also The Larry Norton Gallery. Larry has become Zimbabwe’s most acclaimed wildlife artist. He has staged successful exhibitions around the world, including in London and New York.

But it is The Victoria Falls Hotel that remains the major attraction for visitors. Waking up to the sound of “the smoke that thunders”, seeing the sun rise beneath the mist of one of the seven natural wonders of the world and the lunar rainbow at night; all the while soaking up the history and ambiance of a bygone era with the convenience of the new, is more than unforgettable. It is unique stay for position and history in Victoria Falls.

Victoria Falls Activities

There are a vast arrange of activities for adventure seekers or visitors that just want to see the Falls. See Victoria Falls Day Tours.

Golfers can enjoy 18 holes on the championship course of the nearby sister hotel, Elephant Hills Resort. Designed by PGA great, Gary Player, the course provides more than enough of a challenge in its 18-holes. And the odd warthog or waterbuck to compete with, too. Or, in the historical town of Livingstone (the Zambian side of Victoria Falls), the Livingstone Royal Golf & Country Club. This is a beautiful 18-hole golf course boasting a historical clubhouse (1908) with a veranda, restaurant, and bar.

Wining and Dining

World class service, food, and beverage choices, make the hotel a magnet for international visitors and locals alike.

The opulent Livingstone Room consistently sets the benchmark for fine dining in Africa and features a la carte, a seven course tasting menu and dancing to a live band. While the Livingstone Room reflects the century old hotel’s style of grandeur and opulence, the dress code (previously tie and jacket) has been relaxed to smart casual for the convenience of guests in this more relaxed modern era.

Dining at Jungle Junction offers an unforgettable experience, gazing over the gorge and the spray of the Falls, with a fusion of flavors of Africa. Nightly entertainment from various ethnic groups, including the spiritual, masked Makishi, epitomizes the spirit of Africa. Lavish buffets at the casual Jungle Junction are but one of the many choices for breakfast and dinner.

Stanley’s Terrace offers tantalizingly more than just our famous High Tea. It is also a magically delightful setting for light meals throughout the day. Traditional afternoon tea is served daily, with spectacular views of the Victoria Falls Bridge and the spray from the Falls below.

Next to the exquisite pool, the open air bar serves a full range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages and also offers a tempting barbecue (a braai in local lingo). Guests can also order light meals and snacks that are served under the several thatched gazebos. Live ethnic entertainers perform every day at lunchtime.

At Stanley’s Bar, unwind with some of the hotel’s famed cocktails while listening to the great Victoria Falls roar.
