Amazing Location to walk to the falls and staff brilliant Nice pool (cold!) and lovely food

Whilst our stay was great - value for money wise we would not stay again. The rooms are not huge and apart from location and staff, there is nothing that warrants the very high price tag in relation to other places we have stayed. Most frustrating thing was that they have an activities desk and a list of activities and prices are available prior so (unlike normal) we didn't research in very much detail. Upon arrival we were so very disappointed to find that the prices were wrong by quite a bit (different season prices and added transfer costs), almost all activities are only available in the morning so if limited number of nights stay it limits the activities you can do and the whitewater rafting didn't state that during the month we visited age restrictions applied (we knew the rafting was varied for the river conditions but no mention of age). The Boma dinner only runs on certain nights so we missed that and the only trip we did take via the desk was late. After much stress and disappointment after looking forward to an action packed stay we managed to source our own activities and had a great stay but paying so much for the Avani I felt a bit annoyed just at the lack of relevant information. Can definitely recommend https://www.shockwavevictoriafalls.com/ for rafting - such a fabulous company and trip and for any travels and other activities some brilliant service from https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g298089-d15224113-Reviews-Matmeja_Transfers_and_Tours-Livingstone_Southern_Province.html for everything we needed

Location is good

Dinner takes a bit of long time to deliver

Breakfast was very good. Some good options. But the best in the proximity to Vic Falls. It is actually right behind the hotel, 6 minute walk or less. And saw elephants at night as we entered and giraffes in the morning as we exited.

Our first room was clean but had a bug problem. They promptly switched us to a room which was perfectly clean.

From start to finish we were impressed. Kind staff, delicious breakfast buffet, proximity to Victoria Falls (with free entrance), Boma dinner opportunities and of course the Wild life (mainly Zebras and giraffes) roaming around. Wow-effect guaranteed.

The pool paint could be renewed, as it stains feet and hands.

It was wonderful facility. Staff delightful . I loved the zebras..

location was the best

The location was fantastic right by the Falls but because of that, the noise from the Helicopters all day was a bit annoying.

The location is fantastic! Rooms were great and everyone was very friendly

Family had to split rooms so we had to pay for an additional room with no discount. Only 2 per room which was ok but why have to pay full price for another room. I was in the hotel industry for 30 years and this hotel did not accommodate our request for lower rate!! :(

You pay a pretty penny but it's worth it! The Avani at Vic Falls is a beautiful property that is situated within the Mosi oa Tunya National Park. What that means is you will definitely spot zebras walking up for a drink at the pool and baboons scampering through the walking paths and even giraffes roaming about. But the best perk is that your room key gets you admitted to the park so you can explore the Zambian side of the Falls at your leisure from the hotel. Likewise for any other safari activities that will take you to the park while you're a guest. The staff were very friendly and the buffet breakfast was abundantly delicious. Poolside dining for lunch was also affordable and delicious with a wide variety of options. Late checkout also not a problem.

I can't think of anything that detracted. It's a splurge but worth it. Vic Falls offers many activity excursions but you'll pay double thru the hotel what you would if you book on your own with an independent tour operator.
