Character and identity

Set inside Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park with the spray of Victoria Falls visible on the horizon, this 173-room property is the grande dame on the Zambian side, with private gated access to the falls themselves. The architecture nods to colonial estate style but is in fact a newer build of low-slung blocks scattered across grassy lawns where giraffes, zebras, monkeys and impala wander freely. Expect four restaurants anchored by The Old Drift and the riverside Kubu, a row of spa gazebos along the Zambezi, and warm, genuinely engaged Zambian service that often spills into song and dance at arrival.

Who's it for

Best for:
Couples and families bookending an African safari who want a soft landing with serious comfort, wildlife on the lawn and unlimited walk-in access to the falls. Design-minded travellers will appreciate the four-poster beds, linen upgrades and rattan interiors, while foodies get locally sourced Zambian dishes and a new wine-tasting journey along the river.

Should look elsewhere:
Anyone after buzzy nightlife or a true urban scene will find it quiet, with Traveller's Bar the main after-hours option. Some rooms place the soaking tub in the open living area, which dents privacy. Mobility-restricted guests should know the falls themselves are tough to navigate.

Bottom line

What you are really paying for is location: a gated, animal-roamed estate with its own private gate into Victoria Falls, meaning you wander in and out at will rather than queueing with day-trippers. Splurge if you want the falls as a backyard rather than a day trip, and request Blocks 1 to 8 to hear the water from your pillow. Pair it with a safari either side.
