Exceptional customer care when really needed
Pros:

I fell really ill just before I arrived and was worried I wouldn't be able to join my Safari..

When I told the staff the next morning I was sick, they had a wonderful DR in my room within 30 minutes!!

The staff checked on me, bought for to my room and kept ATM eye on me 💜

By the following day I was so much better and joined my Safari for an awesome 3 week tour.

Thank you so much to the team for genuinely caring and giving such great customer service !! They are were the best 💕

Cons:

Nothing

Convenient hotel to Vic Falls town
Pros:

It was close to town. There was a lovely swimming pool. The bed was comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful. The regular shuttle to town and the Falls entry is great.

Cons:

The shower was poor and sprayed on the floor. It water temperature was hot in the evenings, but not at other times in the day.
The lunch meals were fairly ordinary. Some facilities needed to be refreshed.

Dinner alacarte. Dinner took. TWO And a HALF hours to arrive at the Table.
We had no hand soap by the wash basin.
Our last night no towels were delivered to our room x
