Located right beside the Zambezi River, the Avani Victoria Falls Resort (formerly Zambezi Sun Hotel) offers a unique chance to stay just about as close as can be to Victoria Falls.

The hotel itself is a laid back and welcoming base, perfect for exploring one of Africa’s greatest natural wonders. Rooms here are designed to reflect Zambia’s rich and diverse cultural heritage, with architecture inspired by traditional African villages featuring warm, earthy tones. The décor of Zambian artworks and artefacts adds colour to the simple finishes, with bright mosaics and fabrics bringing the rooms to life. Thanks to its idyllic location set among spacious gardens, guests can enjoy a tranquil stay, and its large outdoor swimming pool offers an ideal place to relax.

Wildlife is a regular feature of the experience, with zebras, giraffes and antelope often seen roaming the grounds. Guests also benefit from the easy access to Victoria Falls and enjoy a wide range of optional activities – from river cruises and game drives to helicopter flights and white-water rafting – that can be arranged locally.

Victoria Falls, Zambia

Victoria Falls, Zambia

Combining perfectly with a safari in Botswana, Zimbabwe or Namibia as well as Zambia, the Zambian side of the falls was once considered to be the ‘poor cousin’, by comparison with the views of the river and the falls from Zimbabwe. The two countries are linked by a spectacular iron bridge above the raging waters. Find Out More about {acc:title}
