Victoria Falls town and our hotel

VICTORIA FALLS TOWN The Zimbabwean town of Victoria Falls is less than 2km (1.25 miles) south of the Zambezi. Unlike Livingstone, it is within easy walking distance of the Falls. A major crossroads for travellers, Victoria Falls has excellent hotels, restaurants, shops and tour operators. Political unrest in Zimbabwe hasn’t helped the town’s tourism – just as Livingstone’s tourism booom has tempted many visitors to the Zambian side of the Falls. There is no denying, however, that Victoria Falls can cater to just about every tourist whim – whether it’s an action-packed day on the river or a game drive in nearby Zambezi National Park. Needless to say, shoppers are well catered for at the Victoria Falls Craft Village on Livingstone Way, as well as the Elephant’s Walk Shopping Complex. No visit to Victoria Falls would be complete without sampling the excellent cuisine of the historical Victoria Falls Hotel. If the formal attire required for dinner in the Livingstone Room is off-putting, try instead the more casual buffet breakfast or their delicious afternoon tea served on the sun terrace.

 

Rainbow is a stylish hotel within walking distance from the Victoria Falls, the town centre, close to the railway station as well as the commercial district.
