Hotels With Pools in Southern, Zambia

I can't praise Sindabezi enough, and I don't see how anywhere else in Vic Falls can possibly be better. Gorgeous location on an island, surrounded by the mighty Zambesi river, from where we spotted hippos, elephants, giraffe, waterbuck, impala and a host of fascinating birdlife without leaving the deck! The service, the food and beverages, accommodation are all excellent. The staff are a special highlight - you are appointed a valet for the duration of your stay and a guide for your activities. Both were brilliant and quickly became trusted friends. The resort manager was highly attentive, competent, and caring. If you're going in winter, bring a warm layer for the early mornings and sitting around the camp fire in the evenings, but don't worry about getting cold in the open-setting chalets at night as you'll be well wrapped up in thick duvets including hot water bottles! The days are warm-to-hot and t-shirts are fine. The activities are fantastic - I suggest doing at least one a day. We started with a sunrise boat trip on the first day, toured the Vic Falls next day, and ended our trip with a safari game drive where a family of elephants came right up to our vehicle. The tour of the local village was a highlight.

We booked a tent. During the rainy season, it's very challenging to dry things or keep them dry. Since the pictures already showed limited space for luggage, we specifically requested luggage storage via email. This was confirmed to us... But upon arrival, the reception claimed there was enough space under the bed. However, hardly anyone has such a narrow suitcase. So we had to stack everything in a corner. The location directly on the Zambezi is perfect, and if you want a bit more luxury, you just walk a few meters further to the neighbors. The breakfast was very good, and there was something for every taste.

Overall, for a hostel this was a good experience! I was not worried about safety because there was a safe in our room that was big enough to hold valuables like laptops. However, because it was a hostel the cleanliness of the room and shared bathrooms were average, but good enough for a one-night stay. The restaurant had very slow service because everything is cooked to order. I waited around 45 min for breakfast when only one person had placed an order before me. That said, it was delicious. I think this hostel has a great location near the airport and I appreciated the complimentary airport pick-up and daily shuttle to the falls.

The property is cute and has a wonderful and clean pool with lots of seating choices. Breakfast is great. The staff are all very kind and always ask if you need anything. Rooms a good and very clean. It’s about a 15 minute walk to the main street which can be exhausting when it’s 30c+ outside but otherwise in, what looks like, a good neighbourhood. Would recommend.

This hotel was really one of a kind. Cleanliness is superb, the facilities were nice & there is a live show each night in the restuarant they are thoughtful with putting water and juice refreshing on the reception everyday after u come back from ur activity

Great place, very friendly staff, breakfast was just scrumptious. From the downsides is the lack of TV and some amenities, such as toothbrush, hair dryer or a rubbish bin. Besides the minor inconveniences I’d recommend the place!

The service was good, the staff were friendly and the kitchen allowed me to boil ramen. The facilities inside were clean. Free breakfast was also good. It was nice to have a SPAR at a 7 minute walk. If you have a big baggage, there is a street to go to the bus terminal.

WiFi, breakfast. There is a terrace on the second floor, a bathtub, and a large garden to watch animals up close. You can walk to the waterfall. Guests can enter the park for free, but the price is a bit high.

The room is ”tired”, but it has everything you need: a refrigerator, a kettle, a safe. Of the toiletries, however, there is only soap. The hotel staff are friendly. We had an unusual situation: we did not have local currency, and the hotel did not have an exchange office, dollars and euros were not accepted. The staff offered to feed us dinner on credit, but this was unacceptable for us, so we dined on the remains of breakfast. Then the next evening, apparently deciding that guests can lose weight from hunger, they gave us dinner. Thank you for the unexpected service! The portions are large, the food is delicious.
