    Ilala Lodge is a fantastic lodge. It has everything you will need and is extremely close to the township and Victoria falls itself. The gardens, views, pool area and dining area were fantastic.

    Location is a walking distance from the falls, very nicely design hotel. You can hear the falls and see the mist. The nice location allowed us to go back to the room midday to take a break.
