About this place

A family house with a pool above the gorge. Batoka Gorge House sits in Victoria Falls, the smoke that thunders. The place is looked after by a resident team who know the area well and are happy to help with directions, firewood and local guides. Rooms are simple and well kept, with good beds and proper linen. Power is backed up so lights, Wi-Fi and fridges keep running during outages, and water comes from the property's own supply. Evenings are best spent outside by the fire.

The space

Bedrooms open onto a shared veranda. The kitchen is fully equipped for self-catering, and there is covered seating outside for meals.

    The solar kept everything running through a long evening power cut and the borehole water was strong. Hosts met us at the gate and had the fire laid.

    We woke to elephants at the waterhole both mornings. Staff were warm and the cook made the best sadza and stew of our trip.

    The view over the valley at sunrise is worth the early start. Bring warm clothes, the nights are properly cold in winter.

    Great value for a family. The children lived in the pool and the caretaker lit the braai for us each evening.
