The Victoria Falls Hotel opened in 1904 to serve the newly completed railway line, and remains one of Africa’s most storied grand hotels, its manicured lawns looking out toward the spray of the falls and the historic bridge across the Zambezi gorge.
Rooms and suites furnished in an Edwardian colonial style, several with direct views toward the falls’ spray and the gorge bridge.
Formal dining with a strong afternoon tea tradition, served on terraces overlooking the hotel’s gardens and the gorge beyond.
Guided tours of Victoria Falls itself, a short walk from the hotel, plus white-water rafting, bungee jumping, and sundowner cruises on the Zambezi.
While the hotel’s focus is the falls themselves, the surrounding riverine bush supports vervet monkey, warthog and a range of birdlife on the hotel grounds.
The hotel’s terrace view of the historic bridge and gorge, especially in the spray-lit late afternoon light, is one of the most photographed vantage points in Victoria Falls town.
The hotel’s long operating history has made it a consistent supporter of Victoria Falls heritage preservation and local Zimbabwean employment.
