Across recent reviews, Insika lodge stands out for exceptionally friendly staff, spacious modern rooms, beautifully kept grounds, and very good food, creating a calm, comfortable base for visiting Victoria Falls and nearby activities.
Rooms are praised for size, comfort and contemporary design, though some have open-concept showers and Wi-Fi can drop during power cuts. The location is quiet and outside town; the free shuttle helps reach the falls and shops, but a few guests felt it was farther than expected and not walkable. Dining draws strong reviews for breakfast and dinners, with good value noted; menus can be small, and early breakfast boxes were appreciated. Expect a serene, modern base for exploring the falls.

This hotel was simply amazing and we didn’t want to leave. The bar area and relaxing pool terrace were relaxing after days of touring. Our room and the grounds were immaculate and I can’t say enough good things about the staff. We would stay here again in a heart beat.

We stayed two nights here and I wish we could have stayed a little longer. The signature rooms was very nice with a queen size bed, double rainfall showers/sinks and a outside porch where you can watch the wildlife walk by. One thing to consider is the showers/bath are open concept so its kinda like you are bathing in the open room with just a small partition separating from the bed (not an issue for me as I was staying alone). The shuttle was very convenient to get to the falls and other areas in town. If you are going somewhere that is not on the shuttle stop just let the driver know and they will accommodate. The pool area/bar was really nice although the water was too cold for me. We only had a chance to eat the breakfast here and it was 10/10. I got the French toast. I also got a massage at the spa and it was easily one of the best massages I ever received (and I get massages monthly). The prices were super cheap as well compared to the US. Overall, I would highly recommend staying here.

The property is gorgeous. I enjoyed my stay - the pool was great and the room comfortable. Staff was very accomodating. Especially appreciated that they offered a free shuttle into town. I wish I knew in advance that they offer a complimentary sunset cruise as I wouldve left time in my schedule for it.

This is a hidden gem. Rooms are well appointed, beds are so comfy and shower is wonderful. I loved the size of the resort. It was very intimate so you were able to meet so many interesting people at the bar or by the pool. Our shuttle driver MacMillan was excellent and would go out of his way to help you get where you were going and would even check in with you around the resort. The reception booked all my excursions for me and were great in recommending the right options for my sunset cruise and helicopter ride. The food at the restaurant was very good and the staff friendly! I would stay here again and highly recommend.

Beautiful property, with spacious clean rooms equppied with rain shower and mini fridge kept well stocked with water. Large pool, outdoor dining 3 meals/day. Shuttle to falls and shopping center was very convenient, and airport pickup for $15 pp helpful. Food was very good though they were often out of stock (bananas, avocado, sparkling water, sparkling wine). Multiple power outages meant wifi was often out. Would like a water dispenser at the pool.

From the seamless airport pickup (Thulani), a team of knowledgeable reception staff ready to advise and assist with just about anything, gifted massage therapists in the spa, the most-courteous F&B staff I've experienced in a long while, cheerful and attentive housekeeping including turn down service. You'll want for nothing. At 1/5 the rates of the Victoria Falls Hotel, this property offers EXCEPTIONAL value.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Insika Lodge. Shortly after booking our online reservation for our group of seven, the staff reached out to confirm airport transportation. Our shuttle driver was on time not only for airport transportation but for all of our excursions. The lodge arranged all of our excursions for us and they were exceptional. The breakfast was excellent and we had dinner included in our meal. My husband and I had a suite with a patio. The room was spotless and we enjoyed both the onesies and bath tub. Finally, the grounds were immaculate. Me had an amazing time in Victoria Falls thanks to the Insinka Lodge staff.

A new-ish hotel just outside town that exceeded expectations. The staff are super friendly and eager to help. The rooms are large, very comfortable and well equipped. The restaurant and bar have smaller menus (could be since it was not busy while we were visiting) but everything was well prepared, looked good and was delicious. We had a great 3-night stay and highly recommend.

Cosy and modern hotel and very service minded staff. It is very clean everywhere. It is a little far from town, but they have a shuttle bus. Unfortunately they only drive back and forth 4 times a day (that could be increased to 6 times). Very nice breakfast, but as it is served a la carte you must expect some waiting time. It is very quiet and pleasant. If you need more hustle you can go to the other hotel across the Street where you can sit overlooking the river

The property itself was very good (food, staff, rooms, etc), however the location did not match what was given by Expedia. The hotel was described as being a 15 minute walk from the Falls. However, it is a full five kilometers along a road that is not safe for pedestrians. Furthermore, the map provided by Expedia for the listing suggested it was on the outskirts of town and near bars and restaurants. That was clearly not the case.

Great place to stay. Stay incredibly friendly. Appreciated the free shuttle to/from shopping and Victoria Falls. Great location- not too far from airport and short 5 minute drive into downtown. Would definitely stay here again.

The property is close to the Zambezi River but not on its shores. It is beautiful and quiet. There is a complimentary shuttle to Victoria Falls National Park.

Beautiful hotel, stylish rooms, but the shower is open so best for couples as opposed to friends or siblings. Nice swimming pool and sun lounges very peaceful with a good shuttle regularly going into town.

Fantastic food, pool, shuttle, rooms, customer service. Don’t even consider staying anyplace else. Every spa service was “best ever.” Facial, massages, mani-pedi

A new-ish hotel just outside town that exceeded expectations. The staff are super friendly and eager to help. The rooms are large, very comfortable and well equipped. The restaurant and bar have smaller menus (could be since it was not busy while we were visiting) but everything was well prepared, looked good and was delicious. We had a great 3-night stay and highly recommend.

This hotel was simply amazing and we didn’t want to leave. The bar area and relaxing pool terrace were relaxing after days of touring. Our room and the grounds were immaculate and I can’t say enough good things about the staff. We would stay here again in a heart beat.

We stayed two nights here and I wish we could have stayed a little longer. The signature rooms was very nice with a queen size bed, double rainfall showers/sinks and a outside porch where you can watch the wildlife walk by. One thing to consider is the showers/bath are open concept so its kinda like you are bathing in the open room with just a small partition separating from the bed (not an issue for me as I was staying alone). The shuttle was very convenient to get to the falls and other areas in town. If you are going somewhere that is not on the shuttle stop just let the driver know and they will accommodate. The pool area/bar was really nice although the water was too cold for me. We only had a chance to eat the breakfast here and it was 10/10. I got the French toast. I also got a massage at the spa and it was easily one of the best massages I ever received (and I get massages monthly). The prices were super cheap as well compared to the US. Overall, I would highly recommend staying here.

What an amazing place. Insika Lodge gives luxury Boutique vibes, with stunning landscaping, beautiful rooms, and impeccable service. The food was excellent, and almost ridiculously reasonably priced. Breakfast (included) was amazing, with a variety of a la Carte options. Every staff member we encountered was genuinely welcoming and friendly. We can't recommend Insika highly enough.

Beautiful property, with spacious clean rooms equppied with rain shower and mini fridge kept well stocked with water. Large pool, outdoor dining 3 meals/day. Shuttle to falls and shopping center was very convenient, and airport pickup for $15 pp helpful. Food was very good though they were often out of stock (bananas, avocado, sparkling water, sparkling wine). Multiple power outages meant wifi was often out. Would like a water dispenser at the pool.

Insika Lodge is a wonderful vacation destination. Their pictures do not do it justice. We loved the room, service and staff. Their food is amazing and reasonably priced. The included breakfast menu is also fantastic. Loved everything about Insika. Was sad we only had 2 days there. If I ever return to Vic Falls, I will certainly book here again and for more days.

A boutique and very personal (only 3 year old) hotel a little outside the main Victoria Falls town. Offers regular free shuttle into town and down to Vic Falls Entrance. Outside the designated times, you have to book taxis but the hotel have an account with reliable supplier. We had the larger signature room which was very comfortable and tastefully decorated. Staff are very helpful. Cooked breakfasts are good. Only slight criticism is that dinner can be quite slow and it’s best to go for the fresh cooked grills.
