The Victoria Falls Hotel was built in 1904 when the Cape to Cairo railway reached the Falls. Ever since, guests have been charmed by the old world atmosphere of one of the few remaining hotels of its kind in the world. The Victoria Falls Hotel has 10 suites, 96 standard rooms and 84 deluxe rooms in both the main building and in the new Stable Wing. All the hotel's bedrooms have been refurbished to provide a perfect balance of modern amenities without losing the grand Edwardian architecture. Set in acres of lush lawns and exotic flora, the hotel is only a few minutes walk from the centre of Victoria Falls Town and a ten minute walk along the hotel's private path from the actual Falls. There's the splendid Livingstone Room for a full English breakfast, fine dining and dancing in the evenings; the Jungle Junction Summerhouse for more casual dining luncheon and dinner; Stanley's Terrace overlooking the famous Victoria Falls Bridge for casual breakfast buffet, snacks, luncheon, high tea, cocktails, and dinner under the stars; and the Bulawayo Room for pre-dinner champagne and after dinner port and cigars. The Victoria Falls Hotel has two floodlit tennis courts and a swimming pool. An international 18-hole golf course is close to the hotel. There is game viewing on foot and by vehicle, elephant-back safaris, white water rafting, canoe safaris, vintage steam train excursions, bungi jumping and many other activities are available on request.
