Nice location directly off the Zamboni River. The final stretch of our 2 week travel was peaceful. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the rooms were stunning. Even though it was too chilly in June to take pleasure in the plunge pool, we enjoyed it. The opportunity to observe the river and an occasional hippo on the horizon from your room was unique. Monkeys are very loud, especially in the morning as they climb the roofs. Phillip, who served as our guide for both Victoria Falls and the Rhino Walking Tour, is well informed about Victoria Falls, Livingstone, and the wildlife we observed during our safari. Some of the standouts included victor, hangar, franklin, Bernadette, and mercy. A sign that tourism is taking off. The sunset cruise could have been a little more exciting, and we would have preferred to be on a pontoon boat. Although we didn't schedule a lot of activities, Phillip and Franklin's recommendation of a 20-minute helicopter tour over the gorge and falls was intentional. It was a highlight. The cuisine was excellent, but the majority of lunches and dinners had 35-course meals.

We have to emphasize the best african bush camps! We spent the final three days of our ninety safaris with African bush camps at Horntree. What a wonderful way to end our once-in-a-lifetime trip! We knew we wanted to stay in our lovely room and the most breathtaking view of the Zambongi River. A lot of amenities, including a comfy bed, and a hot shower. But, because we were coming to Zambonga to experience Mosioatunya, we actually left our room. I was initially concerned that the falls were further away from the town's hustle and bustle, but it turned out being a little far away from the hustle and bustle of the city was much superior. Velvet monkeys, for example, kept us entertained constantly! We were so glad to have Quentin as our guide because he has a wealth of knowledge regarding the falls, the Zambongi River, the flora and fauna, and the culture and history of Zambonga. We had taken a trip to the Zimbabwe side with him the first night, and we saw a lot of hippos and birds. Likewise, a few large crocodiles are nearby. We greatly appreciated how he and Bernadette checked in on us to make sure we were enjoying our visit. Prior to

This hotel has a great location because we can see elephants, zebras, hypo and other animals nearby. The breakfast was very good with good taste. The drinks were nice too, they also had a train that made us safer from Victoria Falls Airport. So, we just need to relax and enjoy, I highly recommend this hotel.

As a part of the african bush camp, we spent 3 nights there. The trip through Botswana, Zambian, and Zimbabwe with an abc van included the magic of three nations. It went really well as moving from the insane airport in Botswana to the modern Kazungula border with a van from the notoriously welcoming Peter, who drove us to the zambian thorn tree. The interior design and atmosphere in the rooms, dining area, bar, and library are just breathtaking. One of the most gorgeous rooms we've ever had. Every day's three-course meal was excellent. The lodge and rooms area is home to a great variety of animals, so be careful to watch for hippo socks! Although Mosioatunya next to the lodge may be a little smaller, there are still many birds and nonpredatory species to be found there. In one of the abc photobooks from the late 1980 s, there are photos of the famous Cecil the lion, a truly extraordinary bird expert, and a wonderful guide to have had in the park, livingstone, Victoria Falls, and the zamboni are the highlights. With lots of hippos around, the boat rides were an incredible experience. The zamboni river fishing was a lot of fun, but no luck with tiger fish. A very welcoming

We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves at Thompson River Lodge. The personnel were incredibly welcoming, attentive, and competent. They also got to know us in detail, including our names and plans. Our rooms had beautiful views of the Zamboni River and our own private pools, and the accommodations were excellent. They carried nana gift bags full of items like binoculars, a torch, and a compass everywhere the kids went. We ate crayfish from the Zamboni River, fillet beef, fantastic breakfasts, and several cocktails. We especially appreciate our guide, Phillip, who was incredibly knowledgeable and accommodating, he spent a lot of time with us and went above and above with us. Families, couples, and other individuals should definitely stay at The Horntree River Lodge.
