What Guests Love About The Island Lodge
Victoria Falls Island Lodge strikes a fine balance between intimate sophistication and natural beauty. Nestled amidst Ilala Palms, Natal Mahoganys, and African Ebonys on a private island, the lodge offers a genuine sense of place. While its top-tier amenities and service place it among the pricier options around Victoria Falls, discerning travellers will attest to its worth.
Enjoy game drives, strolls, and boat trips where you are likely to spot a range of animals and birds. However, it’s a relaxed safari. For a deeper safari adventure, think about adding days in places like Hwange or Chobe.
This lodge is perfect for couples, especially newlyweds. It’s ideal for seeing Victoria Falls, some wildlife, and relaxing.
Its proximity to Victoria Falls allows for quick access to all the town has to offer. We suggest two nights here is a must and a few more in town for fun activities.
