Great place to unwind in nature. Lots of amazing wild animals roaming freely in the area. Felt in my element as I connected with nature. Boma drum and dance just a walk away. Vic Falls and other sites close to the location.

This is an amazing resort. We stayed in a 2 bedroom lodge. You had warthogs, deer, mongoose and monkeys roaming around the grounds and there is a waterhole nearby. There was feeding the vultures which was interesting. The pools and restaurants were lovely. The highlight was the Boma dinner and drums which is a must if you stay here. The staff were very friendly and helpful

Another perfect stay

As always, we loved our stay at Lokuthula, thank you :) The layout works very well, the location is fantastic and the staff are exceptionally friendly and efficient. Special thanks to Rufaro and the rest of the reception team for being so lovely when we arrived and told them our luggage was lost. They were so kind offering to help with that issue. Another big thanks to them for giving us the furthest lodge along when we asked for somewhere quiet. Pity about the constant helicopter noise! One little criticism is the shower curtain. It doesn't work very well and no matter what we tried, the floor was saturated after we showered. Other than that, we can't wait to return and spend more time with the special people and of course we look forward to the daily visits from the bushbuck and warthogs :)

The tranquil retreat we needed, the place lives up to its name “Lokuthula”. Plenty of wildlife roaming around. Great dining options with The Boma nearby and restaurants in the Vic Falls Safari lodge and A la carte restaurants. Plenty to do in Vic Falls all you need is time and money.

Stay at lodge not in suites!

It wasn't until we got there that we realized we were booked not for the luxury lukuthula lodge but for the mid scale " suite" which is a step above a tented camp. We paid a lot of money (228 usd) for this dark cramped cottage that had no windows so we had to keep the tented wall locked to avoid baboons and mosquitos and other animals from wandering in.

Super Lage, insbesondere Buffalo Bar über dem Wasserloch.Lokuthula Lodge etwas in die Tage gekommen. Safari Suites absolut Klasse. Mitarbeiter außergewöhnlich zuvorkommend,freundlich und hilfsbereit.Man fühlt sich wärmstens willkommen. Qualität Speisen in der Buffalo Bar top, beim Boma Dinner, obwohl lohnenswehrte Erfahrung und coole Atmosphäre eher durchschnittlich.

Sehr weitläufige Anlage. Tolles Hotelrestaurant und Bar mit atemberaubenden Blick auf ein Wasserloch. Schön angelegte Pools. Das Preis- Leistungsverhältnis fürs Frühstück im Hotel ist nicht gut. Das Abendessen im Boma Restaurant war ein Highlight, insbesondere die gemeinsame Trommelsession hat uns viel Spass gemacht. Die Lodge ist sehr zu empfehlen. Wir haben alle Ausflüge über die Lodge gebucht und waren mehr als zufrieden.

Property was in a great location and perfect for 3 friends (or a family) to have space to stretch out and be comfortable. Walkable to the main lodge where dining, bar and beautiful watering hole can be seen for animal viewing, sunrise/sunsets. Amazing! Boma drum dinner on property so fun. Staff friendly and helpful. Very clean. Air transfer to/from Victoria Falls airport arranged through reception was very easy and reasonably priced. Shuttle to town/falls very convenient and taxi too. Highly recommend.

Lokuthula lodge was a perfect location for our family. The accommodation was comfortable with a large bathroom, 2 bedrooms, and sleeper couches. We loved the quiet area for the lodges with warthogs, monkeys, and bushbucks roaming daily. We had convenient access to the main lodge for restaurants and drinks over looking the game at the watering hole. We walked to the Boma dinner - which was great fun! And the convenient shuttle brought us to and from town. Really, it was perfect. And the staff was energetic and always helpful.

This place is amazing! If you booked no tours and just stayed here, you would still feel like you’ve been on safari in Africa. We had breakfast with monkeys every morning. Baboons, warthogs and mongoose wander freely around the lodges and you can see all sorts of animals wander to the waterhole, including elephants, while having your meals at the Baffalo Bar. The staff make you feel at home and cannot do enough to make you feel comfortable. Room service comes to clean and make your beds every day and everyone is welcoming. Meals are available from 3 on-site restaurants. There is a day spa and swimming pools. Don’t forget to see the free daily Vulture Culture feeding experience and to go to the Boma drumming dinner experience at least once during your stay. We stayed for 8 nights and we would have loved to stay longer. It is a very special place. Don’t forget to look up ‘Pack For a Purpose’ before you leave as Lokuthula Lodges supports 2 local programs: Local Schools and Antipoaching. We found this just before we left and it’s a really nice way to give back to this beautiful part of the world.

We would’ve ranked this property a little higher if the pictures were a little more accurate. This is actually two properties a very nice lodge and then the other side, which is like Airbnb hut. They were not bad, but going in we were under the impression of the pictures from the lodge. So they need to probably separate the pictures into two different properties.
