What an absolutely incredible experience. From the moment we touched down in Victoria Falls, we were enveloped in the amazing hospitality of Courtney Lodge, its incredible owner Clive and his wonderful team. From being received at the airport with the warmest of welcomes, we were brought to the incredible property in the heart of Victoria Falls village. The property is an amazing reflection of the owners (Clive and his partner Leslie), and their fascinating lives. Clive is an exceptionally knowledgeable host, and can recommend all kind of incredible and unique experiences and excursions. With a background in construction and hospitality, they have infused Courtney Lodge with the kinds of personal touch, care and attention that make the difference between a good experience and an absolutely exceptional one. As an example, I ordered a Margarita at the bar and although the bartender did not have triple sec/cointreau and had never made one before, the next night he offered us margaritas as our cocktail of choice. So earlier that day, he acquired the ingredients and learned how to make it… and if it wasn’t just the most perfect example… and the kindness and consideration behind the gesture made it that much more special. And that’s just one example of the hundreds of little thoughtful gestures we experienced during what was nothing short of a magical stay. Besides the exceptional hospitality (delicious home cooked breakfast aside), Courtney lodge is so tastefully decorated, with gorgeous lush tropical gardens, and is decorated to an beautiful standard, while giving you the feeling of being at a family home instead of just another generic hotel. This is hospitality at its absolute finest. I couldn’t recommend it more highly. Thank you to our hosts, Taku and the rest of the amazing staff. We will return for sure!

Tabokana House is a peaceful and beautiful place. The staff is excellent, absolutely lovely and cheerful. Special thanks to Joseph who took such a good care of me throughout my trip. The breakfast is big and everywhere is clean. The accommodation was perfect for me.

It was immaculate, loved being greeted with cold face clothes on arrival. Felt personal as there were only 14 rooms

The room was better than the photos! Large and very comfortable. We enjoyed the hot tub too which was a plus given it was winter. There is also a spa onsite which we used and would recommend. Staff were fantastic and the restaurant had good quality food at reasonable prices.

A fantastic guest lodge! The room was spacious and comfortable, and the bathrooms were sizable. They even have insect repellent on hand for you. Ask for handsoap though, as there was only body wash and shampoo in the room The meals were great and the staff were flexible when we ordered off-menu items. We had breakfast everyday and dinner one evening. The food in the lodge is really good. We had the sea bream which was grilled really well. The pool is a perfect place to take a dip after a long day in the heat! The staff were exceptional and really take guest services to the next level. All of them, from the team at reception to the restaurant and bar. Ruth who guided us with our Visa situation by calling a contact at immigration to confirm details. NOTE for Canadian Travellers. Your KAZA visa ($50 USD) IS cheaper than a single entry ($75 USD) but if you decide to stay overnight in Botswana or Zambia, it becomes void and you have to buy another visa. While not really walkable into town, especially at night, its a quick taxi ride - not more than $5 USD. The team are happy to arrange a taxi for you. There is a little convenience shop and a fantastic little restaurant called Social Kitchen within walking distance - with great Portugese Chicken and Sadza & Chomolia. Remember, everything in Zimbabwe is paid for in USD and local ATMs will give you cash in USD. You can pay pretty everywhere with Apple Pay too, from the park entry fees, restaurants, shops (except street side curios and taxis).

Arianne

We received fantastic service from the moment we landed at the airport to the moment we checked in our luggage to leave. One of our bags was lost in transit and the lodge arranged to get the bag collected from the airport for us and delivered it to our room. All staff were very friendly and made sure to stop and talk to you everyday. Any request was not an issue. We had amazing trips organised for us so we didn't have to do anything but enjoy our holiday.

The staff are very kind and attentive, really a cut above and go the extra mile. Faith was very responsive with all my questions and requests. Washington in the dining room was also excellent, and meals and bar service are available for lunch and dinner. The staff very sweetly sang happy birthday to me, which was very touching. The Lodge will help with booking activities for a small service fee.
