Avani Victoria Falls Resort

Территория расположение животные в отеле

Знак завтрак мало выбора В номере пахнет сыростью Дверь в душ была сломана

We stayed here four nights and it was amazing!!! Every day brought more joy. We saw lots of zebras, two with babies; tons of giraffes; monkeys and friendly baboons and quite a few impala. The staff were great helping you find wildlife or take pictures. The pool was lovely -- the perfect way to cool off after a day of tours. Right behind the resort is the entrance to Victoria Falls Park. We went here three days straight and did all four trails. It blew us away. The views were spectacular. We did the trail to Boiling Pot, but it took a bit longer than the sign warns. Still it was well worth it. We booked four tours and one transfer through the tour desk and they were all perfect. We did the helicopter flight, Morning Breezer to Livingstone Island, the sunset cruise and the game drive with rhino walk. I recommend them all. We had two lunches and three dinners at the resort. The food was very good, but the portions are huge. But when I asked to take some food back to my room, they were happy to wrap it for me. The rooms were clean and they tidied them everyday. The beds were very comfortable. The bathroom came with shampoo, conditioner and bodywash. They also provided a small lotion and a small insect repellent. They provided filtered water everyday. My only complaint was that they didn't sell bottled water to take on tours. My son actually complained and the front desk sent someone into town to buy him a dozen bottles. If that isn't service, I don't know what is.

Being able to access the Falls any time of day, especially early morning is a game changer. Giraffe's, Zebra and Impala roaming the grounds is amazing. Access for a special dinner at Royal Livingston is another big plus.

We had a good experience at the we wish to return again. The workers were excellent and the attitude towards us was good.

Location, Location, Location, this is the place to stay if you want to see Victoria Falls. 'wide' animals roaming the premises and beautiful gardens/landscaping. It's almost as beautiful as the falls. Unlimited/free Access to the Zambia national park just out the back gate is what sold me on the place. People and breakfast are also all fantastic

Our room was in serious need of repair. The shower door was almost falling off the wall. The toilet seat refused to stay up. The power outlet and usb plugs by the window side of the bed did not work. The thermostat was so worn you could not make out all of the settings. Just one of these I could have lived with in a $500/night room. All of these together, make me wonder whether I should recommend anyone else coming here. It is Africa, but the idea is that when you are in the Avani it should be paradise. It could have been. I did mention the toilet seat to the staff, I ended up using my t-shirt to tie the lid up, they should have seen this and immediately taken action.. They didn't. Serious room for improvement. Having said that I would still recommend this to anyone visiting the falls, maybe I should have complained loudly, but the ambiance made me take it stride.

We had an unforgettable experience in Livingston and the Avani hotel. Everything was amazing! It is incredible that from our room with a 5 minute walk we found ourselves in front of the Victoria Falls. At the hotel all the staff are very hospitable, willing to serve you, always with a smile that makes your mood.The breakfast is amazing and especially the sweets!! The room is very clean as are all the areas of the hotel. Thank you all for our wonderful stay and we hope to see you again.Nikos and Voula from Greece 🇬🇷

We tried the restaurant for a Boma Dinner experience and it was simply exquisite. Nowhere else have I tried food like here. The staff was amazing and Chef Teddy is truly a master of his art! Chapeau 🎩!!

Unfortunately, this hotel did not meet our expectations. The staff, especially at the reception, were very unhelpful and sometimes rude. Basic questions could not be adequately answered, and no one offered or explained airport transfer options. We later found out that transfers are often unavailable due to a lack of cars and must be arranged well in advance, which was never communicated. The hotel does not respond to messages on Booking.com at all - communication is only possible by email, and replies are very slow. Payment was another major issue: we were not informed in advance that payment must be made on-site, not through Booking.com. We only discovered this just before check-out and had to contact Booking support to confirm it. Room service was very slow and required multiple calls. The air conditioning units were very noisy, and the hotel does not feel new. The restaurant is located in the middle of the hotel, under a roof only, making it extremely hot and uncomfortable during lunchtime. Given the price, the overall experience was not worth it. The only positives were the wildlife on the property (zebras, giraffes, monkeys) and the location close to Victoria Falls. Other than that, we were very disappointed, mainly due to the poor service and lack of hospitality.

The Avani Victoria Falls resort benefits from two main advantages: extremely close proximity to Victoria Falls (5 mins walk to the back gate and there you are at the entrance to the falls, with park fee already included with your stay), and wild animals roaming around the grounds since the hotel is inside the national park surrounding the falls (mostly impala, zebras, baboons & monkeys and the occasional giraffe). Those aspects are truly unique and basically impossible to replicate elsewhere, save for the Royal Livingstone Hotel, its sister property nearby. Otherwise, the rooms are fine - comfortable, nothing too fancy - and the pool and grounds are attractive. The food was just okay and service was often slow. Slow food service is not unique to travel in Africa but could be better at this property. Breakfast was solid and the buffet setup mitigated the slow service compared to dinner. Staff is friendly, although take care not to leave your valuables behind after checkout, as they might not make it back to you, as we learned from a fellow traveler. There are fancier lodges with better food & service in the area, but at higher prices, while the Avani is more of a standard hotel, with the major exception of being so close to the falls and being among the animals.
