Review of Victoria Falls Hotel

Joan Larsen recommends a stay at the Victoria Falls Hotel to experience "a grand British colonial hotel befitting of the grand old days" - you'll enjoy its "gardens of frangipani & bougainvillea", the "chorus of frogs" and "immaculate lawns". There's the "best high tea on the continent" (ok, the Mount Nelson in Cape Town may disagree with that!), the "Edwardian rooms & lounges" & of course the sound of the falls & the sight of the mist rising up.

It's not 5 stars, but the Victoria Falls Hotel is the place for a traditional stay at a spot which is practically stuck in time. Go for a room which is facing the falls, and has a view of the bridge. The hotel was built by the British in 1904 in order to house workers on their Cape to Cairo rail project (which was never finished).

"The Falls" by Madeline

As soon as l heard the news before l even realised it my eyes were
filled with tears. l could not control myself for it was a dream come
true.

I had grown up hearing a lot of stories about Victoria Falls. I had
read about the mighty curtain of water that forms Victoria Falls in
newspapers and magazines. I had even seen??? its wonders on the
television. It was my dream that one day i should go on holiday to
this place locally known as Mosi-oa-Tunga or the Smoke that Thurnders.

It was in December of 2009 that my husband informed me that we were
going to Victoria Falls for Christmas holiday. I was so happy that i
could not sleep that night because of excitement.

It was on the 24th of December that we boarded a plane from Harare
International Airport to Victoria Falls around 19.00hrs. Within
forty-five minutes we arrived at Victorial Falls. We were booked in at the Holiday
Inn, a five star Hotel. We had a delicious supper that
night.

I was stunned by the beautiful views of the mighty falls that was
pinned on the walls. When i peeped through the window, I was
fascinated by the night view of the falls during the night.

The next day we visted the falls. I discovered the mighty works of the
Lord. Watching the falls was amazing. Our journey ended on the 1st of
January 2010. Those days were amazing and unforgottable.
