Victoria Falls Safari Club, Zimbabwe

Overview

The luxury Victoria Falls Safari Club is an exclusive 20 bedroom lodge situated within the magnificent grounds of the Victoria Falls Safari Lodge, overlooking a private waterhole. The Safari Club lies just 4 km from the thundering Victoria Falls on the Zimbabwe side. It has its own waterhole so that you can enjoy game viewing without stepping a foot outside the lodge. Watch the breathtaking African sunset and view the game coming to drink at the waterhole from your private balcony, pool deck or restaurant.

The Victoria Falls Safari Club has 16 rooms and 4 suites. The luxurious rooms have uninterrupted views of the bushveld, gorgeous sunsets and waterhole. Room facilities include a complimentary mini bar, large laptop-sized safe, international multi sockets, expresso machine, sliding glass doors and gauze screens to your balcony, wifi and air-conditioning. The en suite bathroom is semi-open plan, being behind the bedroom and bed, with enclosed toilet. The suites are similarly appointed but with a spacious sitting room. Families (they take kids over 10 years old) can be accommodated in inter-leading rooms or using the sleeper couch in the sitting area. (We recommend the Victoria Falls Safari Suites for families with younger kids.)

Safari Club facilities

The hotel has its own restaurant and lounge with complimentary afternoon tea and pastries, sundowners and snacks. Alternatively the Boma Restaurant offers a festive African-style feast with entertainment. The Safari Club operates as a ‘hotel within a hotel’ so guests staying here can enjoy the restaurants of the larger hotel, the spa, the Vulture Culture experience and then retreat into the serenity of their own lounge and bar areas.

Activities

Activities on offer include the daily Vulture Culture experience and the hide for keen birders. The Safari Spa (shared with Victoria Falls Safari Lodge) offers a variety of treatments including aromatherapy, reflexology, massages, beauty & body treatments and sauna. A courtesy bus runs every hour and takes you to and from the town and Victoria Falls, both just five minutes away.

Victoria Falls Safari Club Review

The Victoria Falls Safari Club operates as a sort of hotel within a hotel, offering 'club accommodation' . I liked the hotel and I certainly preferred Safari Club rooms to the suites at Victoria Falls Safari Lodge. They are modern but in keeping with the bush setting. Though the bathroom is open plan, its location behind the bedroom and the bedhead means that there is still a fair degree of privacy. (And of course there is an enclosed loo.) Even so, it may not suit everyone.

The extra money for the Club suite is not really needed in my opinion as the rooms are already pretty spacious but it does take you from 44 sqm to 60 sqm.
