If history interests you, this is THE place to stay at Victoria Falls. Take time to stroll the grounds and explore every courier in the hotel.

I enjoyed my stay at Victoria Falls H! The Beds are very comfortable. My taxi driver (arranged by the hotel) went out of his way to help me find a rug I wanted. This name is Pride. He is amazing and made out stay exceptional.
