Zimbabwe Hotels and Resorts - It would be impossible to deny the political unrest that has dogged Zimbabwe in the last couple of years, however those that do visit Zimbabwe will find the rewards far out weigh the perceived risks. Zimbabwe's tourism highlights are well away from urban centres and with a network of charter and scheduled flights able to whisk you into remote game viewing country, it is easy to spend 2 weeks here and never see or hear of trouble.

Much of Zimbabwe consists of a central plateau or highveld which stretches from southwest to northeast with a mountainous region along the Eastern border rising up to 2440m (8000ft) in altitude. From south to north the country extends from the Limpopo to the Zambezi, rivers with names that evoke the mystery of Africa. Wildlife is plentiful and you may choose to see it on guided game drives, walking safaris or from the river, whichever way, you will be escorted by some of Africa's most highly qualified and informative safari guides.

Zimbabwe is as rich in natural resources as in natural beauty. The Eastern Highlands boast golf courses and trout steams, Mana Pools and Hwange National Parks offer unparalleled game viewing and there are another 8 more remote National Parks. There are the historic ruins of Great Zimbabwe and the spectacle and adventure of Victoria Falls. All this adds up to a safari experience that is packed with diversity and adventure.

For almost one hundred years, visiting members of royal families, international and local statesmen, and celebrities from all over the globe, have preferred to stay at the Victoria Falls Hotel, where they are assured of privacy and care. The hotel has an atmosphere steeped in history, combining the charm of the old with all the comfort and convenience of today. It is a hotel that can truly claim to be unique - its stunning location and intriguing history make it so.

The ambience of the hotel is that of the Edwardian period, when life for the wealthy was a round of entertainments, stylish meals and witty conversation. The airy, elegant lounges have a quiet dignity that encourages peaceful relaxation. The suites and rooms are superbly furnished in Edwardian style. You may enjoy dinner and dancing in the magnificent Livingstone Room with a classic a la carte menu. Traditional high tea is served every afternoon on the Terrace, where you have breath-taking views onto the Victoria Falls Bridge and the Falls themselves. ACCOMMODATION: The ensuite bedrooms are also constructed in the style of the Edwardian era, many with period antiques. Well decorated and very comfortable, they are a welcome reward after a full-day of sightseeing. The Edwardian theme is further reflected in the bathroom's black and white tiling, and claw foot bathtub. HOTEL FACILITIES & SERVICES: The services and amenities at the Victoria Falls Hotel are superb. A classically designed swimming pool and two tennis courts are within the lovely grounds. A full range of other sports is available nearby. The hotel desk will make bookings for an eighteen hole championship golf course, white water rafting, bungi jumping, canoeing, microlighting, game walks and drives and elephant back safaris.
