Ursula’s Homestead offers an intimate setting with only four chalets and a maximum of eight guests. We had the opportunity to view animals in their natural environment around a watering hole while relaxing or dining. During our stay, we frequently saw a large troop of baboons, impalas, eland, Cape buffalo, Guiana fowl, and other birds passing by the watering hole. Other guests saw giraffes one day, but we were away on a tour at the time. The lodge is a few miles away from town which adds to the privacy and sense of remoteness. Their shuttle service is very efficient, making a car unnecessary. Some tours will pick you up at the lodge. While we were there gas was in short supply and there were very long lines at the gas stations. There was also no money accessible from the ATMs. We were very glad we did not have a rental car and had access to the shuttle. We had convenient access to tours of Victoria Falls, River Rafting, Sunset Cruises, Devil’s Pool, and more. The attentive staff was exceptional. Breakfast is included, and lunch and dinner are offered a reasonable cost. We were fortunate to stay in the Elephant Chalet, which is their largest chalet. The room is a bit dated, but includes a king size bed, large bathtub, an adequate shower, and small refrigerator. We arrived at the end of our African adventure and truly appreciated the warm and comfortable environment offered by Olivia and her staff.

Fantastic relaxed experience ,we were well looked after.

We had a wonderful stay at the end of our holiday for three nights breakfast included. The team there looked after us marvellously. They arranged trips and activities that we requested well and advices us on safety and what time of day was best to do these sort of activites. We even were woken up by the team so that we could see the wild rhino walk past the lodge which was very considerate. The breakfast was filling and well presented. It was all in all very peaceful and made for a lovely place to rest day before travelling home.

It was great to find this wonderful small lodge with free shuttle to Victoria Falls. Staying in town is not necessary when you have this beautiful property as a retreat. The hospitality of Olivia, and the food prepared by a dedicated chef, went well beyond expectation. It is a piece of paradise. Book it if you can!

Service was good but no heaters or electric blankets so rooms were cold. Also no WiFi in rooms. Otherwise everything else was fine

Exceeded our expectations, Michael isaan amazing guide. Our group enjoyed three days here and could have stayed longer. Yummy breakfast as well.

We stayed a week and it was fantastic. The chef was in fact our own personal chef and he produced excellent meals. From the front of our chalet we were able to see a selection of wild animals literally doing their own thing and it really was brilliant.

If you love nature and a very peaceful place to rest then this lodge is for you. You will enjoy the view of some wildlife attractions. The staff is very friendly and helpful. There is a pool at the lodge but it is not very clean.
