“Best value for money stay in Victoria Falls.”
What a lovely experience we had staying with Vic Falls Backpackers Lodge. The staff went out of their way to help us book a few activities on arrival. They even suggested a few free and must see options which did not disappoint at all. The kitchen is well stocked and all the other guests were extremely friendly and respectful of one another. We were lucky enough to visit the area during peak flooding, so we were able to lie in bed at night and hear the falls! The lodge is very conveniently located. Activity pick-ups are no hassle and if you want to go anywhere, it's less than 10 minutes away.

Taxi-Pride was awsome, he is such a great person, patient and knows his way around. I used a safe, my items were kept well, and the bed was comfortable.

I had a great stay in this lodge: I had a private room. I think what makes this place special are the people: they took care of me and my friends, provided advice, helped to book activities, organized transfers and taxis. I enjoy my stay and can recommend it to others:)
