The hotel

Those tumbling waters of the Zambezi River over the Victoria Falls are so close you will hear the roar and see the cascades of billowing mist. The AVANI Victoria Falls Resort has the feel of a centuries-old walled city, reflecting the richness and diversity of lands heritage, with earth-coloured buildings featuring turrets and chimneys. Set out for a day of adventure with a helicopter trip over the mighty Victoria Falls or head to the nearby Entertainment Centre for quick and easy booking for adventure activities, sundowner cruises, game-drives, bird watching and cycling safaris.

My stay was enjoyable and would come over for another experience. The hotel needs to have guided tours to the falls and also ensure that shuttle services are available between the airport and the hotel.

This is one of the best hotel facilities in Zambia. It is in close proximity to the Victoria Falls, has excellent and affordable accommodation as well as the best hospitality. The hostel staff are also great at managing reservations and events.

We spent part of our honeymoon at Avani Victoria Falls and it was such a highlight, we had a wonderful time. The hotel is within the national park, so you can go to the falls whenever you like with no extra charge. It is a short walk to the national park entrance and there are various different paths to view the falls. There are lots of animals around in the hotel grounds - it was the only place where we saw giraffe! As Avani is on the same site as the Royal Livingstone, we were able to go to the Royal for dinner and also had a wonderful massage by the river bank there. The team at Avani looked after us really well. In particular the manager helped us to make plans for the days that we were staying there and we had a beautiful private dinner on one of the evenings where waiter Jimmy and chef Capatanga did a fantastic job.

The hotel location is great, but the food and customer service was terrible. We left early because we didn’t like the lunch and dinner options (and there are no restaurants nearby with easy access so you’re stuck on the property) and the breakfast was so bad - not comparable to the amount you’re paying for the hotel.

The hotel location is great, but the food and customer service was terrible. We left early because we didn’t like the lunch and dinner options (and there are no restaurants nearby with easy access so you’re stuck on the property) and the breakfast was so bad - not comparable to the amount you’re paying for the hotel. The only thing we liked was oatmeal, the meat was over cooked, the bread and pastries were dry, the other breakfast options were not tasty. Fortunately the hotel allowed us to checkout 1 day early and we went to a cheaper hotel that actually had good food. But UNFORTUNATELY, we were promised a refund but even after 2 months they have not refunded nor have they responded to our follow-up emails. We tried all the corporate and reservation emails, even texted the hotel manager on WhatsApp. No response so I’m putting this negative review in hopes that someone will see it and address our problem.
