This was one of the best hotels/guesthouses I have ever stayed in. It is beautiful, with lovely staff, exquisite decor, and fantastic breakfast. I only had 1 night here before joining a 22 night camping safari and I really had to tear myself away to move from here to my next place - a 2 person tent! I will highly recommend the Drift Inn to anyone I know planning to visit Victoria Falls. Thank you for delightful comfort ahead of my safari!

Had a lovely stay at Drift Inn, really really charming little place. We enjoyed it very very much. Only two small things to mention… It was difficult to find, map and address was not correct and the shower head was rubbish.

Drift Inn was a great place to stay. The rooms were basic but clean and comfortable. There is a lovely courtyard to relax around a small swimming pool and all the staff were friendly and helpful. I was particularly impressed with how they went out of their way to help retrieve my luggage that the airline had lost.

Would stay again for sure
Located next to the national park and a short 5 minute taxi drive from downtown Victoria Falls The Drift Inn offers a relaxing tropical vibe. From the pool to the "honours system" bar to the delicious breakfasts, everything aims to providing a relaxing and comfortable stay. The staff really make the Drift Inn feel so homey.Amelia and her team are always available to answer any questions or address any need. They go above and beyond expectations. If you don't feel like getting into town for dinner, Amelia makes it easy for you by taking your order from one of the menus provided, organizing delivery. The setting is great and at any time animals can be wandering past. A heard of buffalo visited while we were there. Just made the whole experience more magical. Would stay again for sure.

I had a wonderful three night stay at Drift Inn. The staff are all very friendly and accommodating and the grounds are perfect for relaxing between excursions. A nice oasis just a short distance from the city center and the falls.

Small piece of heaven in Vic Falls. Just on the edge of the bush. Beautiful property and gardens, with nice pool and the bar for resting after the tours. Vic Falls centre is 15-20min walk, Falls are 25-35min walk. Friendly staff and owner, home cooked breakfasts - would highly recommend.

Peaceful guest house
Two nights of relaxation after a three week overland trip. The guest house is really nice and well run. It is a little remote from the town centre, 20 minutes walk or a cheap taxi ride. Nice breakfast.

I absolutely loved my stay there. Amelia was a wonderful host, kind and helpful, she made me feel right at home. I loved every aspect of this place. It is about 15 minute walk to downtown across nice neighborhoods, in the evening an elephant was across the road. Awesome!

Un havre de paix à Victoria Falls
Hôtel de huit chambres spacieuses et rustiques, assez proche des chutes (25 minutes de marche), dans un secteur très calme. Literie excellente, draps douillets, grands lits. Petit déjeuner de très bon niveau. Terrasse et jardin très agréable. Personnel très souriant et disponible. Pas de restaurant le midi et le soir mais livraison possible de repas avec un resto partenaire. Piscine et jardins agréables. Le vrai plus, le passage fréquent d'éléphants juste en face de l'hôtel, le soir ou le matin. Magique !

Belle propriété juste en face de la réserve ce qui signifie que l’on voit souvent passer des animaux sauvages. Le personnel est très avenant et soucieux de bien faire. Très propre, un joli coin bar - terrasse - piscine. Nous reviendrions avec plaisir.
