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. This excellent hotel 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.

This is a lovely African style hotel with free access to the Falls, about a 5 minute walk to reach the Zambian side. Lovely staff, great pool area. Zebra and Impala wander the grounds. Highly recommended.

Generally the place was okay. There was plenty of food to choose from but what was unfortunate was that it followed a similar pattern. Drinks were too expensive. For instance Red Bull being sold at 99 kwacha is way too too too much.

If it weren’t for the location, I don’t think I would book this hotel. It’s very expensive for intermittent a/c. They only run the a/c at certain times & I couldn’t figure out there schedule. The real animals around the hotel are very nice but I don’t like all the animal statues around. I really appreciated the short walk to Victoria Falls & the free entrance. We were here before the rains, so the falls aren’t as good on the Zambian side. But, it’s $30 pp to enter the park to the falls on the Zimbabwe side, which is much lusher because of the water from the falls. So, go in with your eyes open. Read less

Review of my stay at the Avani, Pimpa Kasongola. I had a pleasant experience overall, the food catered to all my preferences and the staff were always on hand to provide room service when called upon in addition to the scenic views.

the stay was not bad but only hope that in future, the hotel should be conducting sensitization on the animals around your area. What type of animals you have within your premises and which animals slay into your area so that we are not caught unaware
