The Avani Victoria Falls Resort boasts an unbeatable location just steps from the iconic Victoria Falls, with wildlife like zebras and giraffes often wandering the grounds. While the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, the rooms and facilities could use some updates. Dining options were varied and generally satisfying; however, the overall experience was marred by some maintenance issues and a lack of sound insulation in the rooms.

The hotel has a prime location right next to Victoria Falls, with unique wildlife experiences and charming staff that enhance your stay. However, the dining options unfortunately fell short, especially during lunch and dinner, and the pool area needs serious cleaning and maintenance. Overall, it's a mixed bag, as the breathtaking surroundings and friendly atmosphere can't quite make up for the less-than-ideal facilities and food quality.

The rooms are spacious and clean, featuring nice bed linen and a great shower, although they feel somewhat average overall.
Service

The pool area desperately needs cleaning; it was full of debris and had safety hazards with loose electric lighting, which was alarming.
