Nestled on the banks of the Zambezi River, just upstream from the majestic Victoria Falls, sits The Palm River Hotel.
A warm Zimbabwean welcome awaits guests at this family-run hotel, which is built on the closest site to the majestic Victoria Falls – so close, in fact, that on a clear, quiet day guests can hear the thunder and see the spray of the mighty waterfall from their room. The hotel introduces a new dimension of luxury without compromising a sense of home comfort. Vast and unimpeded views of the Zambezi River are complemented by surrounding indigenous flora that encompasses a tranquil, peaceful, and private sanctuary.
Inspired by the traditional East-Coast Australian design style of the Queenslander, the hotel provides guests with every modern convenience to make their stay as comfortable as possible while maintaining the old-world charm that is the essence of Victoria Falls. The innovative blend of the traditional Queenslander style and the unique landscape of the upper Zambezi River, characterised by its lush vegetation and dramatic cliffs, has resulted in a distinctive landmark for Victoria Falls. Featuring 73 rooms, each spacious room boasts breathtaking views of the falls, an ensuite bathroom, air conditioning, overhead fans, and a satellite TV.
Indulge in delectable cuisine at the Palm Restaurant or savour unique delicacies like venison, ostrich, and crocodile tails at the Kubika Restaurant; for a truly romantic evening, dine under the African sky amidst the rushing sounds of the mighty waterfall. Relax and unwind by the hotel’s guest swimming pool, overlooking the pristine Victoria Falls National Park, or embark on a cruise on the Ra-Ikane, the hotel’s small cruise boat. Adventure seekers can also enjoy exhilarating water sports, trips to Victoria Falls, and cultural village tours.
