Locaton, and lots of space for family of 4

No toiletries, which would have been helpful.

Loved being part of the Victoria Falls Safari Lodge Estate. 10 mins walk to Main Lodge with good restaurant, Wild animals visiting the watering hole. The Vulture Culture Experience is great. It is free and we went twice. Free shuttle into town.

Lodge is a good size but the kitchen is not very well equipped so we ate out most of the time.

Location-out of Town

Noise of Helicopters flying over all da

Can't recommend enough. We had bushbucks and warthogs as well as monkeys just outside our back door. Place was clean, staff really helpful and kind. Drinks and dinner every night overlooking the water hole. Just magical.

Friendly staff

Property door was difficult to lock

Located in great area

The lighting needs to be reinforced

The lodge was very nice. Masters bedroom had a comfortable bed. Area was very nice. The pool at the hotel was nice.

Hard to get wifi to work well.

Breakfast was very good - nice location next to the pool. Service and selection/choices of cooked food was very nice

I am a return visitor to Vic Falls & Lokuthula with my family and like the privacy & the option of access to all the facilities at the VF Safari Lodge. The option to self cater can help keep costs down, and allows for more home time relaxing in nature at the chalet The complementary courtesy bus to/from VF is key, and frequency is adequate

Generally everything was good. Some things are a bit dated, but frankly I prefer that (some may not)

A grande área aberta com animais do parque circulando entre os hóspedes.

Excesso de mosquitos nos quartos que impossibilitou dormíssemos à noite. Nem o mosquiteiro estava dando conta. Os mosquitos atacavam qualquer parte do corpo descoberta. Nunca vi tanto mosquito assim. Fui uma coisa realmente surreal. Nenhuma solução foi dada pela gerência além de pedidos de desculpas. Deveria, no mínimo, ser disponibilizados repelentes e inseticidas para os hóspedes. Outro ponto foi que o Booking.com informava que havia aparelhos de ar condicionado em todos os cômodos, mas havia apenas um um dos quartos. Poderia ter sido um estadia ótima, se não fossem por esses pontos.

Nahe an den Viktoria Fällen gelegen, nettes Personal.

Die Lodge ist leider sehr dunkel und gibt einem dementsprechend ein erdrückendes Gefühl, wenn man sich darin aufhält. Die eine Nacht die wir dort verbrachten, war auf Grund der Moskitos wenig erholsam. Es gibt zwar ein Moskitonetz, auf Grund der großen Spalten im Holzboden, kommen leider dauerhaft Moskitos von unten in das Zimmer. An Schlaf war deshalb nicht zu denken. Das Frühstück war okay aber für 19$ pro Person viel zu teuer. Schade aber wir waren froh, als wir wieder gehen konnten.

The food and view from the main restaurant was very good. The staff were helpful and attentive. The warthogs were a delight to watch.

The lodge experience was not as expected and not like the photographs. The lodges and facilities need a serious revamp. We chose this property rather than a traditional hotel so my boys aged 11 and 13 would be able to roam a bit and enjoy the facilities. But the trampoline was broken (my son hit the ground underneath when he bounced), there was no volleyball to go with the net (the man at the restaurant responsible for the facilities didn’t bother to say he would try to go and get one) and the pool was dirty. There were also holes in the mosquito nets and the kids got dozens of bites.

Everything was awesome. The open living area was especially nice while the warthogs and bush buck visited us.

Nothing

Charming lodges in beautiful surroundings visited by a variety of wildlife everyday. Food at the hotel was excellent and reasonably priced.

It is not mentioned that the lodges are placed around the Boma restaurant so everynight between 6.30 and 10 you had the noise and drumming. Little point in using the kitchen as getting to a supermarket was tricky and very expensive with little to offer. Fine for coffee and toast.

Animals around the lodges- warthog, bush buck and Guinea fowl. View of the watering hole from the hotel bar/ restaurant (we saw elephants, buffalo, giraffe and hyenas plus SO many birds/ vultures) Staff were SO friendly and helpful

Lokuthula lodge is a beautiful place to stay, being surrounded by nature, wildlife made it all a full experience. Lodges were spacious, staff very friendly and professional

Lodges are now outdated. Nothing a lick of paint and retiling in the bathrooms will not fix

self catering

nothing

Accommodation was great.

The Boma was a let down,food was sub standard,meat was very chewy,limited variety for a buffet.My exprience was total ruined.Food and beverages manager not doing their job,what a rip off.

Great location: the lodges are in the grounds of the Safari Lodge hotel, which has an open-sided dining room with views over a private water hole/game reserve. Every day at lunch time in the main hotel, there's a free "vulture culture" event where a guide feeds c. 100 local vultures and explains related conservation efforts. The hotel restaurant is excellent, especially since the pricing is more like mid-range in the UK or US. Regarding the lodge itself: ours was a spacious 3-bedroomed cottage on two levels with two bathrooms and a fully-equipped kitchen. Everything was spotlessly clean. The "walls" of the sitting room are large unzippable canvas panels with a lockable security grille behind, so that you can unzip everything and open up the whole side of the lodge to the patio and lawn beyond. In the garden, you'll see lots of bushbuck (antelope), warthogs, vervet monkeys and banded mongoose! A short walk away, at the Boma restaurant, there's a nice little pool area with attached restaurant/bar for the lodge residents, plus a small kids' play area (including sunken trampoline) and a beach volley-ball court. I think Lokuthula Lodge would be pretty much perfect for a family on a self-drive, self-catering holiday. It's very well equipped, including a braai (BBQ) set-up next to the patio, and our lodge had two covered parking spaces. Plus you can go for breakfast (copious, $25 a head) at the main hotel, and choose from two places on-site for lunch and dinner. If you're staying in Vic Falls without a vehicle, as we were, it's more like a great budget option. You get a lot of space and freedom for your money, but you don't get the full hotel service. As one of the further-out lodges, we were still only a 5-min walk from the Safari Lodge hotel, where the staff will arrange taxis to/from Vic Falls town. The hotel also provides a free shuttle bus roughly at hourly intervals to run guests in/out of town.

I hadn't realised that the lodges were in the grounds of the Safari Lodge hotel (which seems to offer four classes of accommodation: the main hotel, two other types of (higher-end?) lodges, and finally the Lokathula lodges. So you end up perhaps feeling a bit of a second-class (or fourth-class?!) citizen. But that's a very minor quibble, and you're still paying a huge amount less per night for a really good standard of accommodation in a wonderful setting. Another minor point: the pool at the Boma is outdoor and unheated. So it's pretty bracing in the winter! I don't know if the main hotel pool is heated, but I do know that you're not allowed to use it if you're staying at Lokuthula. Then again, I'm not sure how heavily they police it; you could probably sneak in!

Absolutely beautiful place. Great location, amazing facilities at the safari lodge. Stunning wildlife. Genuinely awesome!!

It was a comfortable stay as normal…love staying at Lokuthula…never disappoints. Thank you again for your great hospitality.

Chipo was of great assistance, great location with transfers for free to several locations.

Design and layout of lodge, surroundings, wildlife on doorstep, access to VFSL viewing terrace and bar, spectacular sunset, helpful staff when booking extra night and excursion.

Unfortunately mosquitoes were getting into the mezzanine bedroom easily and inside the net and in numbers making it unpleasant for our teenage daughter to sleep up there which was a shame as she was so excited about it at first. There were big gaps around the windows upstairs which could be sealed properly.

Beautiful location, views and wildlife in gardens. Lovely staff. Good facilities. Comfortable furnishings. Clean. Friendly staff.

Mosquitoes getting into lodge through large gaps. Quite a lot of them. Even inside nets on beds upstairs.

Beautiful place, plenty of wildlife, great bar Tons of kitchen utensils so you can cook for yourself also

Wi-Fi didn’t reach the lodge Would of been great if we’d have been provided with sponges/washing up equipment for the kitchen

The free-roaming animals such as the buck, guinea fowls and warthog, were a joy to watch daily. I also appreciate that the lodge fulfilled my request to combine the upstairs' single beds into one large one. The Boma dinner was an excellent experience. The lodge gladly arranged the sunset cruise booking as well.

The mosquitoes inside the lodge, especially the upstairs loft. Also, there is no indoor dining space, as the only table is outside and thus not suitable for use in the evenings due to the chilly weather and mosquitoes.

Stunning place, super friendly staff, sundowners overlooking the waterhole and an unforgettable night of African drumming and buffet at the Boma restaurant
