Mopani Lodge Victoria Falls

This is more of a guest house than a lodge. Accommodations are basic, which is why the label of "lodge" is perhaps a little misleading. Like many things in Zimbabwe, this place has several things that are broken, which didn't make it an awful stay, but when added up, they detract from the overall quality of the establishment. For example, the door on the shower stall did not shut all the way, and we had to ask for more bath towels for our family. Breakfast was included, but it's provided in a strange way. The breakfast includes cold and hot courses (plus drinks, like coffee and the Zimbabwe version of fruit juice). Your egg order will be taken when you arrive in the breakfast area and serve yourself with cold breakfast items (cereal, yogurt, etc.), but they won't tell you that the hot course will automatically come with all the other parts of a full English breakfast. It's cooked to order for each guest, and if you don't want all of those servings of beans, sausage, bacon, etc., you'll feel like you're wasting food.

The property has a relaxed, rustic feel to it which is appealing. The staff were all excellent, especially Mabel. The breakfast was also good, the family room a reasonable size fror 3 adults, but the bathroom was a bit small and the door wouldn't shut. The Lodge's restaurant was not functioning when we were there which could have been a problem; however, there is an excellent restaurant about 200metres away and an adjacent convenience store. Overall, a very pleasnt 5 nights.

It was a welcome surprise to discover Mopani Lodge. We are full-time travelers who last-minutely reserved this lodging to see the falls. We had no idea what to anticipate, but I could tell they were top-notch from our first email exchange. When I originally inquired about getting from the airport to the resort, we quickly received an answer. The quick response time is really uncommon. We had excellent customer service from the moment we arrived till the moment we left. When visiting Victoria Falls, Tadiwa was the best at selecting attractions and restaurants. He even provided us with rides to the bank, to a resturant, and the bus station. He even helped us with purchasing tickets to our next destination. He truly values his visitors and goes over and above to make sure they have a memorable time while visiting the Victoria Falls. The entire time, there was a clear emphasis on providing excellent customer service. We spent the majority of our time at the lodge due to our busy schedules at work and mainly because the service was so excellent. At the lodge, we ate breakfast and dinner. The chefs made sure to inquire about any dietary constraints we might have. The meals were delicious. Throughout our entire visit, everyone at Mopani Lodge made us feel completely at home and at ease. They really do value their guests. The lodge is neat and tidy. The pool there is cleaned every day. Moreover, they provide laundry services. They have all of your needs met and more! Booking a

Friendly and attentive staff loved the atmosphere wonderful dining selection

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Lodge our host went above and beyond to ensure we had a good stay. The staff was very helpful and attentive, no matter the requests we were always met with smiles. They also recently renovated their rooms and they looked beautiful. It is ideally located as it is nestled amongst other popular lodges and is close to town. We felt safe throughout our stay. They have a nice and well looked after swimming pool, I managed a few dips but the weather was too cold when i visited for me to fully enjoy it :') I will definitely stay with them again and I highly recommend them.
