Peaceful and quiet with staff so helpful with activity bookings. The rooms were very comfortable and decorated with local African artwork. Breakfast was superb, as were lunches and staff so friendly. Felt like a guest in someone’s home with only 14 rooms. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Victoria Falls!

This a small property with incredible charm and hospitality. Breakfast is always excellent with a wide variety of options on the menu. They also offer lunch and dinner with great choices. The pool is small but refreshing in a quiet and calming setting. The staff are very friendly with great recommendations on local restaurants, transportation, and activities.

Great property and super nice service. The breakfast was good. They helped coordinate our taxis and our excursions. Was a little noisy at the neighboring properties on Friday and Saturday night. The roof doesn’t deaden the sound that much

This is like having a private room in a hostel. VERY basic. Walls are paper thin. At night, I heard the conversations of guests in the next room. No phone in room to call the office staff. A chair in room, but no light near it to read. Bare light bulbs over night tables, so I couldn't read in bed either. No bottled water available. They say the tap water is filtered, but I wasn't comfortable drinking it. No curtain in shower area and no shelf, table, or sink top to place toiletry items in bathroom. No tissues provided. 3 hangars on a bar to hang clothes. Breakfast food is minimum. The worst part is that you have to take taxis to go anywhere outside the lodge. Each taxi cost $10. That adds up. Better to spend a little more for a room at a lodge that has free taxi service into town.

We had a wonderful stay at Nguni Lodge for 2 nights. The place is beautiful and the lodge is very quiet. Rooms are spacious and I loved the warm water of the showers coming back after a long day. Staff always was ready to help. Breakfast was good. We 100% recommend this place.

Great Stay

It was a nice stay. Although, the shower pressure was not really giving it for me. Otherwise, great stay. Also, I was on my own and had breakfast for two. I was requesting if i can also have pancakes on top of my other order - the server wasn’t to keen to fulfill this reasonable request.
