Ilala Lodge Hotel
The closest hotel to Victoria Falls — walk to the entrance in ten minutes
Ilala Lodge Hotel is the closest property to Victoria Falls, and it never lets you forget it. The spray column is visible from the garden, you can hear the falls from the lawn, and the entrance to the rainforest is a short walk away. Nothing else in town is this close.
The grounds back directly onto the national park, so warthog and the occasional elephant wander through. Rooms are quietly done — private patio or balcony onto the garden, espresso machine, air conditioning — and the Cassia Restaurant serves al fresco dinner under the African sky. It is the easiest possible base for a first visit to the falls.
