Ilala Lodge is a family-run, mid-to-upper-tier hotel set in established gardens in Victoria Falls town, positioned as an intimate alternative to the area's larger resort-style properties — its main selling point is proximity, at 8–10 minutes' walk from the falls entrance rather than scale.
What sets it apart
Walking distance to the falls entrance without the scale of a big resort hotel.
Who it suits
Travellers who want to walk to the falls rather than rely on a shuttle.

About the photographs
The pictures on this page are stock photographs chosen to suggest the kind of setting this property is in. They are not photographs of this property, and we cannot verify exactly where any of them was taken — a stock library records the photographer, not the place. We use them rather than borrow the property's own marketing images, which would imply we had stayed there. For pictures of the actual rooms, see the property's own site.
