From amazing wildlife encounters to soothing spa treatments, the Victoria Falls Safari Lodge estate offers an array of incredible experiences. Here are 10 we absolutely love:

1. Game Viewing at the Waterhole

From the Buffalo Bar viewing deck at Victoria Falls Safari Lodge, sit back with a cocktail in hand and watch the drama of the wild unfold before you. The lodge’s onsite waterhole attracts many animals, from magnificent elephants to large herds of buffalo, and occasionally one of the large cats. It’s like having a front-row seat to a nature documentary.

2. Sunsets

Watching the sun sink below the horizon from the Buffalo Bar is a magical experience. With the view stretching over the pristine Zambezi National Park and a waterhole frequented by elephants, buffalo, kudu, warthog, and other wildlife plus several bird species, it’s the perfect way to end an adventure-filled day.

3. Treatments at Victoria Falls Safari Spa

Nothing beats a rejuvenating massage after a day filled with adventure activities. The Victoria Falls Safari Spa offers a peaceful sanctuary to enjoy treatments such as massages, facials, manicures, and pedicures.

4. The Boma – Dinner & Drum Show

A night at The Boma is a feast for the senses! From indulging in traditional Zimbabwean dishes and decadent desserts to joining the high-energy interactive drumming show, this incredible cultural experience is unlike any other in Victoria Falls. And for the ultimate bragging rights, don’t forget to try a mopane worm! The Boma is great for all ages.

5. Victoria Falls Safari Club’s Exclusive Experience

For guests staying at the premium Victoria Falls Safari Club the complimentary laundry, minibar, afternoon tea, and sunset cocktails and canapes are the cherry on top!

6. Courtesy Shuttle

Exploring Victoria Falls is a breeze with the estate’s complimentary shuttle bus, which offers regular transfers throughout the day to the entrance of the Victoria Falls, the souvenir markets, and the town centre.

7. Sustainability

The Victoria Falls Safari Collection is committed to sustainability, and one of its key initiatives is eliminating single-use plastics. With the introduction of the Natura Water system on the estate in 2019, great-tasting still or sparkling water is served to guests in recyclable glass bottles, thereby reducing plastic waste.

8. Siduli Hide Sit

For an up-close and personal wildlife experience, the Siduli Hide offers an incredible view of the waterhole and the animals and birds coming down to drink. Situated at ground level just next to the waterhole, the hide allows guests to quietly observe the animals and birds, providing excellent opportunities for photography and oneness with nature.

9. The Vulture Culture Experience

This complimentary activity is not only fascinating to watch, but it also plays a critical role in vulture conservation. Taking place daily at 1 pm below the Buffalo Bar viewing deck, the Vulture Culture Experience gives guests a wonderful opportunity to observe hundreds of these endangered raptors while learning about their importance to the ecosystem. The Vulture Culture Experience is an excellent activity for kids!

10. Birdwatching

The Victoria Falls Safari Lodge estate is a paradise for bird lovers, with over 400 species recorded in the area. Often seen are hornbills, fish eagles, guinea fowl, kingfishers, shrikes, doves, vultures, and marabou storks.

Which of these experiences is calling your name? Or better still, why not try them all?
