Ilala Lodge; safari guide to the Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe

Our View

Ilala Lodge is everything you need for a Victoria Falls hotel stay. Location is key, and from here all the attractions are on your doorstep. The rooms are well appointed and spacious, and you can hear the thunder of the falls and see the iconic billowing mist from its doors.

Ilala Lodge - The Facts

While many hotels in the Victoria Falls provide decent meals, people travel to Ilala Lodge specifically for the Cassia Restaurant. Dine below the stars and listen to the rumble of the Victoria Falls in the background, as wildlife like warthogs and impala often pass through the grounds.

Rooms on the upper tier offer private balconies, while ground floor options have gardens on the doorstep. The best rooms to see the spray of the falls from are in the deluxe wing and the pool wing.

Activities are the name of the game at Victoria Falls, and guests can enjoy everything from serene boat cruises to bungee jumping off one of the seven wonders of the world. Others enjoy white water rafting in the rapids below the Victoria Falls, or an upper Zambezi canoe trip. While day trip safaris can be done to Hwange National Park, it’s best to make the most of Victoria Falls while here before moving to be better situated in the park itself for your safari. This will allow you to do both destinations justice.

With prices beginning from $172 per person, Ilala offers a chilled out escape bang in the heart of the Victoria Falls action, so it’s a pretty enviable option for those looking for a handy and serene pit stop with a family-run vibe.

Facilities include a duo of swimming pools and cocktail bar which will no doubt help you unwind between action-packed safaris and Victoria Falls adventures. There’s also a spa with an array of massage treatments, manicures and pedicures.

Convenient, with great views and the added perk of wildlife on your doorstep, this is a good choice for a Victoria Falls stay.
