Inappropriate and disturbing: a shower curtain for the bathtub! ( disgusting) incomprehensible, that despite full occupancy the livingstone diningroom closed on sundays, unfortunately. The short walk to the entrance of the victoria falls is a spiessrutenlaufen. We recommend urgently, a escort from the hotel procedure.

After a safari through the southern Afrika we chose the Victoria Falls hotel as a conclusion our trip. The hotel is a old, venerable house, in the year 1904 built with about 160 rooms. It still has a touch of colonial flair, you feel somehow, like in the museum. Great view to the falls, well-kept complex, in walking distance the waterfalls and city. There is a direct on foot on the garden to the falls, but many pushy salespeople are traveling there. Excellent pool area with pool bar, also recommendable- also for passing trade of the hotel,- the afternoon tea, On the stanley terrace with terrific … read more
