We stayed for one night and really enjoyed the peaceful setting of thisxlodge. A couple km away from the busyness and craziness close to the falls, this was like a little piece of heaven. Still close enough to take a cheap txi ride to the falls. The room was very nicely decorated, the bathroom too. It was spacious and clean and the beds were very comfortable.

A rustic, clean, comfortable game lodge with 4 tents. The game rangers plus staff are all 5 star. And ni wifi, and no electricity brings everything back to real life in the bush.

The staff at Nguni were fantastic. They arranged transport for us when needed (the lodge is not too far from the falls, but not walkable in the heat) and were generally very friendly and kind.

Would not return
We needed more upfront information on extra costs such as how much extra person in the room and the taxi from the airport. The lack of communication on these was unfortunate. Abrasive responses to questions such as will we have air conditioning later was uncalled for. Finally we could not even access snacks in the evening and told to go to a 7/11.

Nice place with very friendly staff
The staff here are so friendly and nice. Food was great. Landscapiing beautiful. My room was nice, but the walls are paper thin. I could easily follow the converstation of the couple in the room adjacent to mine. A minifridge would be wonderful so to keep some water cold.

Nice place with friendly staff
The lodge is very nice. Beautiful landscaping and vegetation. The staff is super friendly. Food quite good. The one thing that could make it better would be if they had a mini-fridge in the rooms to one could have cold water.

4/10 Poor

Taesoon

The blinds on the window were broken, letting in outside light, making it uncomfortable to sleep. The front door is made of glass, so everyone can see inside, and you have to cover it with a curtain every time, which is inconvenient.

In a true sense of place and setting the place captures a safari theme surrounded by a green trees and plants just like the Victoria Falls National Park. Great staff was very helpful. Will definitely be back.

Just ok. Not great.
I'm not sure how this hotel got a 9.4 rating. I thought it was just ok. Not terrible but not "fabulous". The bathroom had very little room to put any toiletries, the shower was open, so water got all over the floor. The breakfast was ik on the first day, but the girl running it on days 2 and 3 was standing in another room going TikTok videos (volume was up, so I could hear it), while items sat empty and dirty spoons and tea bags were sitting out. Tables needed to be bussed as well. The property was clean and quiet, but not located near anything.... Everything was a $5 or $10 cab ride away. Receptionists were friendly, especially when I had an issue at home that forced me to leave 2 days early. No refund, per their policy, which is totally fine with me....not their fault I had to depart.

Nguni lodge provided a good home base and safe haven for us. Rooms are relatively big. Do not waste money on the deluxe option as the regular rooms are somehow roomier than the deluxe and the pool view isnt worth paying extra for. The reception staff can get you reservations and transpoetations to any activities to wish to enjoy. Breakfast staff was GREAT! T! They helped keep us in schedule each morning and provided great food!

Quiet, secluded lodge which was a lovely refuge for a few days. Brigit, Primrose and all the staff were superb, kind and super accommodating booking transfers and day trips for us which we loved. Restaurant/bar was simple but adequate. Only thing we missed was a little fridge but really no issue. Make sure to budget to take taxis everywhere, there's little within walking distance. Alternative dinner location was Reynardo's (I think it has a different name though) a 5 min walk. Excellent food.
