Children’s Policy at Victoria Falls Safari Lodge

Given its layout, design and location, the lodge is not recommended for young children. 

  • Since the rooms are quite small, we do not encourage children above the age of 12 to share a room with adults. Extra beds can only fit children under the age of 12.

  • An option is to accommodate the child in a single room. The room can inter-lead into the parent’s room depending on availability. The next best option would be to book rooms that are next to each other.

  • The policy is that children under the age of 12 get a 50% discount off the adult sharing rate. This would apply when one child is sharing with one adult, or the 2 children under 12 in a room. Or finally a child under 12 sharing with 2 adults.

  • The policy however changes when a child under the age of 12 stays in a single room. In this instance the child pays the full adult single rate.

Lokuthula Lodge is very well suited to families with children.

Conference Facilities at Victoria Falls Safari Lodge

  • Ndaba Conference Room - Set 70 metres from the hotel with its own bar, service kitchen and cloakrooms
