things to do

Start your day with the serene calm of the river in the early morning. A continental breakfast is usually served while admiring the abundant birdlife and the early rising wildlife. As the sun rises warm on your shoulders, the river offers real peace.

One of the quietest times for boating on the river, this cruise typically serves a three course lunch of fresh seasonal ingredients. An ideal time to have the river to yourself, be lulled by the calm waters and soak up the incredible flora and fauna along the river banks.

One of Victoria Falls’ most popular activities for good reason! The sunset river cruise delivers unforgettable sunsets and exceptional photographic opportunities for both scenery and wildlife or birdlife encounters. Refreshments are usually included. There are different offerings to cater to varied budgets and private sunset cruises can also be organized.

Combining the experience of the sunset cruise with a three course dinner makes this cruise an idyllic end to the day. Enjoy the orange tinted skies of the most memorable sunsets before a romantic, lantern-lit dinner. Gaze at the star studded skies and listen to the sound of the roaring Mosi-Oa-Tunya and distant wildlife. The perfect end to another day in Zimbabwe.

Victoria Falls has a number of beautiful spas nestled in the green lungs of our forests, both built within our lodges and in custom built facilities. Treatments range from manicures and hair-dressing to skilled therapeutic treatments like massages, facials and reflexology.

Take a breather and sit down to traditional High Tea at a number of iconic spots. Look out over the lawns of the historic Victoria Falls Hotel, or enjoy your cake in the manicured gardens of Stanley and Livingstone watching wildlife come down to drink at the waterhole. If champagne and instagram-worthy confectionery is your vibe then why not try out a pre-arranged High Tea at The Palm River Hotel overlooking the majestic Zambezi River.
