Victoria falls hotel

 

The Victoria Falls Hotel, popularly known as “the grand old lady of the Falls”, is situated in the Victoria Falls National Park, a world heritage site, and is a member of the exclusive Leading Hotels of the World group. It is one of only two 1S0-accredited hotels in Zimbabwe.

 

 The Edwardian-style five-star hotel, built in 1904, was recently redecorated and refurbished and now combines the charm of the old with the convenience of the new. Set in lush tropical gardens with lily ponds, palm trees and semi-tropical shrubs, it provides the tranquillity and seclusion that many guests seek. The famous Victoria Falls are just a ten-minute walk away using the hotel’s private pathway, and “the smoke that thunders” or “Mosi-O-Tunya” in the local dialect, is clearly audible and visible from this luxurious landmark.

 

World-class service, and food and beverage choice and preparation second to none, make the hotel a magnet for international visitors and locals alike. The opulent Livingstone Room for fine dining and dancing, the Jungle Junction with its famous breakfast and dinner buffets and ethnic entertainment in the evenings, offer variety and wide choice. Stanley’s Terrace, with its clear view of the Victoria Falls Bridge, connecting Zimbabwe and Zambia, is renowned for its cocktails and afternoon teas. The Terrace has been a rendezvous for adventurers in Africa for over a century.

Victoria falls rest camp

 

Kariba is the largest man made dam ever built. The source of all the water is the 4 largest river in Africa called the Zambezi river. The lake is 290 kms long and 30km wide at it’s widest part. The dam wall was completed in 1960 and was built to provide hydro electric power to Zimbabwe and Zambia. The name Kariba is derived from the word Kariva meaning trap and refers to a rock which is now buried under the water near the dam wall , that before the dam wall was built , used to thrust out of the swirling water in the entrance of the gorge. This rock was considered the home of the great river god Nyaminyami. Kariba provides much need power to Zimbabwe and Zambia but it also has a thriving fishing industry that is a huge source of protein for the Zimbabwe and Zambia. Lake Kariba also supports a huge tourism industry that is a really important to the region as a big income generator for the local communities.

 

Kariba is a surrounded by National Parks and it provides a plentiful water supply for all the wildlife. This ensures that Utopia will provide a great base from which to view this wild life. With boat mooring every night at different positions all over the lake you are guaranteed to have a front row seat to all the wildlife around the lake. Popular sighting include elephants, hippos , crocodiles , impala , waterbuck , baboons with occasional sightings of lion also possible.

 

Fishing is the most popular activity on the lake. The tigerfish is a very popular fish to target due to their renowned fighting abilities. There are lots of other species to target with bream being the most popular fish to target with keeping anglers busy with hours of fun catching them. There are no fishing rods on Utopia but please can you speak to us and we can organise them at an extra cost to be put on the boat along with the bait.
