Palm River Hotel & Ilala Lodge Review – Luxury Stay in Victoria Falls
For the final leg of their Zimbabwe trip, the author stayed at Ilala Lodge and the tranquil Palm River Hotel, set along the Zambezi River. The Palm River Hotel featured elegant colonial-style common areas and spacious, sunlit guest rooms with modern comforts. Dining was delightful, from charming afternoon teas to excellent room-service dinners. The top-notch concierge arranged memorable excursions like cruises and visits to the iconic Victoria Falls. The author recommends splitting time between properties, with the Palm River Hotel as a perfect spot to relax and enjoy river views.
