Overview

Lokuthula Lodges is a collection of 31 self-contained chalets set out across a tranquil leafy resort just 4km from the renowned Victoria Falls in northwest Zimbabwe. The properties sit in lovely grounds frequented by warthogs and bushbuck, right on the edge of Zambezi National Park and just a few minutes’ drive from the breath-taking Falls, one of the seven natural wonders of the world. The lodges are positioned near a waterhole popular with wildlife including elephant, buffalo, and hyena, whilst the popular town of Victoria Falls, with its extensive visitor attractions and activities, is a short drive away. Lokuthula Lodges are a great lower-cost option for families or groups looking for flexible and spacious self-catering accommodation with onsite facilities and easy access to Victoria Falls.

The properties share a site with their sister establishment, Victoria Falls Safari Lodge, and guests benefit from sharing a number of facilities. Communal areas on site include a three tiered swimming pool, a bar, and a children’s playground. There are two restaurants, including an open air boma eatery which regularly hosts lively drum and dance displays.

The accommodation comprises 31 two and three-bedroom chalets, constructed with open windows and rustic thatched ceilings. Each two storey unit houses a comfortable lounge with two sofa beds, a fully equipped kitchen, a modern bathroom with bath and overhead shower, and either two or three bedrooms with double or twin beds. There is an additional bathroom with shower in the three-bed units. A daily cleaning service is provided, and guests have the option to stay on a B&B basis, with breakfast served daily in the resort’s onsite restaurant. The properties are equipped with mosquito nets and ceiling fans, but there is no air conditioning. Outside, there's a tranquil private terrace with dining furniture and a barbeque. Up to six guests can be accommodated in two-bedroom lodges, whilst the three-bedroom units sleep up to eight.

Children of all ages are extremely welcome at the property. Infants under three years of age are accommodated free of charge and there are discounts for guests under 12 years of age. A babysitting service is available, subject to arrangement.

  • I was also just about to email you to thank you and the team for arranging yet again, another wonderful experience.

    Mount Kenya was spectacular and wild - I think I prefer it to Kili in many ways. The entire support team was professional, friendly and all round fantastic in making sure that we were safe, well fed and well looked after. In particular, we would commend Peter the guide as well as Paul one of the porters who doubled-up as his deputy on summit day. Our route was often shrouded in mist and rain that rapidly gathered in the valleys and moorlands, and we were very impressed at how Peter managed to navigate us safely through all of that notwithstanding. In addition, we loved learning about the history of Mount Kenya from him in the evenings. And ofcourse, I was blown away by the lovely birthday surprise at the end complete with balloons and a delicious cake that had journeyed with us from day 1. One thing we might recommend because of the sudden change in weather (it would sometimes get extremely cold and wet) is for the equipment list to be a little bit more detailed in terms of its recommendations e.g. layers to be moisture-wicking, walking boots be waterproof, doubling up on socks to avoid blisters etc.

    El Karama is a beautiful conservancy and the lodge a true labour of love. Great hospitality in a relaxed environment. Delicious, fresh food. We enjoyed the drives, even if we didn't see much wildlife as the heavens opened on us for the last two outings. However, since it was very much geared towards families, I am not sure if I would stay again without kids. That said, I think it was perfect for a 3d/2n stay post mountain, and a much better choice than flying to the masai mara given the limited time we had.

    Our transits were smooth. Samuel the driver was always on time, drove safely and kept the vehicle clean.

    So it was a brilliant experience and one which I certainly will cherish for some time to come. It was great to work with you for a third time, and I certainly hope it won't be the last

  • Thank you, we had an absolute wonderful time, and everything was well-planned and as described. Carla was crying on the day of our departure from Ants Nest, she didn’t want to go home and for it all to end, and when I asked how much longer she would want to stay, she responded “four weeks”

  • We had the most amazing time. It exceeded all my hopes of what the trip would be. The guides, the hotels - everything was of such a wonderful quality. Thank you for organizing everything. I will absolutely recommend Tourdust and use you again.
