Ilala Lodge Hotel (ZW)

Eight minutes on foot and you hear the Vic Falls before you see them! Ilala Lodge Hotel is located on the Zimbabwean side of Victoria Falls, and it keeps you close to the action. The hotel offers 73 rooms and suites, all with private en-suite bathrooms, air conditioning, and satellite television, set within green gardens where warthogs and impala often wander past. There is a swimming pool that provides a cool break between outings, while the restaurant here serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner with the distant rumble of the falls in the background. Dining takes place indoors or under the stars, with views toward the spray on clear days. From here, town shops and activity hubs are all within walking distance, so moving around stays simple.
