Insika Lodge

Interconnected wooden decks link the reception, restaurant, and bar areas. The design is contemporary and polished with beautiful Zimbabwean artwork to look at and floor-to-ceiling windows showcasing the views. The infinity pool overlooks mopane woodland and a waterhole where wildlife congregates daily. Evening brings a roaring fire for sundowners and storytelling. The Africa Essentials spa offers steam room, sauna, and treatments using traditional healing ingredients, whilst the restaurant serves an array of local and international cuisine using organic produce grown nearby.

The rooms are modern but full African character with plenty of locally-inspired and designed décor and natural materials. The luxury rooms have pretty garden views whilst the larger Signature rooms boast waterhole or stream vistas from the enormous private verandas. All rooms have king or twin beds with mosquito nets, air conditioning, and beautiful bathrooms with standalone bathtubs and double showers. Signature rooms also boast indoor lounges and small workstations.

Victoria Falls' legendary thrills are on your doorstep – bungee jumping, white-water rafting, and helicopter flights over the Falls – and handily, the lodge can arrange everything and anything from cultural village tours to multi-adventure excursions. On-site highlights include game viewing at the waterhole, birdwatching in the indigenous gardens, and poolside wildlife watching. Their exclusive Zambezi river cruises beat the often crowded public boats, whilst nearby Zambezi National Park offers excellent game drives. For less adventurous souls, the spa treatments and peaceful garden wanderings are medicine for the soul.
