"Drift Inn was hands-down one of my favorite finds in Victoria Falls. It has that rare combination of being relaxed, welcoming, stylish, and genuinely fun without ever feeling overdone or touristy. The atmosphere is fantastic, gardens and a nice hangout/honest bar zone - the staff are warm and helpful. It feels like the kind of place where someone actually cared about creating an experience, not just filling rooms."

Lake Kariba Inns

8/10 Good

"Beautiful hotel in great location. Especially good for small children/families. Ok breakfast, had better most other hotels. Evening meal was great on first night but not so good on second so I have to say inconsistent. Staff friendly and professional"

The N1 Hotel & Campsite Victoria Falls

10/10 Excellent

"Endroit très près de tout ! A la marche pour visiter les chutes Victoria !!! Resto !!! Merci beaucoup aux personnels !!! Resto à l’hôtel excellent !!!"

Hornbill Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"WOW, just WOW. This is a little paradise in Kariba. How did we get so lucky that we got to spend a few nights here during our trip through Southern Africa?! Our accommodation was gorgeous, the views stunning, the host welcoming, the staff friendly, and the pool area was just perfect for us to relax at after 3.5 weeks of non-stop travel. The food is outstanding! They cook your breakfast after you chose what you would like. Our dinners were some of the best we've ever had. We had our own huts. They are beautifully decorated. They are open and airy, which is really nice at nights. The night sky was stunning - we could see stars, the Milky way and more. We had organized a Zambezi cano trip afterwards and our host was very familiar with the company we were using, gave us some practical tips which all helped start the trip off with the right expectations (also highly recommend the cano trip!)."
