I think that this is my favorite hotel anywhere, the location by the river is beautiful and quiet. The staff are all friendly, helpful and have a seemingly never ending amount of happy, bouncy energy! We ate from the main dinner menu once, the buffet twice and had a few lunches by the pool - all the food was delicious, plus the Gin and tonics were fabulous! (Yes its a bit expensive but look at where you are!) The resident Cats, Warthogs & Hippos plus the staff and the river setting make this place incredible

A’Zambezi is luxury enhanced by being on the bank of the Zambezi River. We thoroughly enjoyed the stay and especially the location: having wild animals routinely wondering through the grounds (we saw Kudu and Elephants!) and watching the Zambezi River from both the restaurant and the balconies of our rooms makes this one of the best places I have ever stayed. It is expensive but worth it, and we will definitely return. One very minor point was that one of our party bumped into the sprinklers in the thatch of the walkways behind the rooms: would be worth adding some signage or making them more obvious.

Not good quality of service or tooms

Slow service. Activities we were told via messages on Hotels.com that were booked for us in advance, we’re not actually booked and prices quoted were wrong. Tried to put us in rooms of less quality than what we pre paid for. Room had missing refrigerator, melted hair dryer, non working phone & reeked of cigarette smoke.

Hotel was great , staff from reception through to the bar/ waiting and to housekeeping were so lovely. All were very efficient. Garden area was really nice , especially watching the family of Pumbas come in each evening. Food was excellent in the restaurant & bar. Only negative would be the crowded bedroom - the bedroom itself is a good size but it’s filled wil a large armchair , huge built in wardrobes , and 2 massive bed side tables and large set of drawers/ desk & desk chair. . Hardly had room to put your suitcase open on the floor. Most people only seem to check in for a couple of nights - ideally all you need is space as it’s unlikely you’ll fully unpack

Large well maintained grounds. Reception Staff was very attentive. Joseph was especially kind and helpful. Room was small but offered great views Ann was comfortable for two. Lee, dining room host was wonderful. Shuttle service was a bonus to get to and from various locations. Victor from Heritage booked several activities and cabs for us. He was always available to assist. On-site dining was excellent with breakfast buffet included with our booking level. Highly recommend this place.
