Hotels in Zimbabwe

Absolutely loved our stay here. It is so peaceful, the staff were so friendly and helpful. The whole stay was just perfect. Food is also amazing, we actually preferred our meals in the hotel than in town. Will definitely be recommending Shongwe Oasis and staying here if I return.

Everything was perfect. Amenities, decor, rooms and all tasty meals served on patios with views on the luscious garden that stole my heart! How ever, the trump card of Pioneers is the well trained, efficient staff who carry you on their hands from the moment you arrive. They make feel special and will attend to you with their friendly smiles at all times. Thank you all for making our stay special. We will definately make Pioneers our first choice when ever we vist the majestic waterfall and the mighty Zambezi river again. Marlene from NAMIBIA

Breakfast OK. Location very good in very pleasant surroundings

The hotel itself is located right by the National reservation with wildlife and untouched nature, near the infamous Victoria Waterfalls. The territory of the hotel is relatively big with many plants and in general very green. Sometimes, you can see animals just running through, eating grass or minding their own business — a truly wonderful sight and you can thank the hotel for such a rare opportunity. One thing is very special about this hotel - and that’s the interior’s design. The entire hotel is built in an antique-like manner, and you have the impression that you’ve ended up in the 20th century. We have booked in advance and asked the hotel staff to organise 3 tours for us: a helicopter tour, a safari tour (which was mind blowing, to say the least) and a waterfall tour. Proper thanks to Michael, he was our guide for the safari and the falls tour. And the hotel’s staff has completed all of our requests and surpassed our expectations. Expect very friendly staff, waving, smiling and greeting you at every step — very welcoming. In general, we were impressed by the level of friendliness. The small houses which you check into have a great view from the living room, from the bedroom and right from the bath. The rooms are spacious, comfy, with many space and extraordinarily enormous beds — also, incredibly comfortable. All the amenities were of high quality and there was plenty of them. Regarding the restaurant and the bar in the hotel, the food was great. You have the chance to try the local dishes (highly recommended), but also there is plenty of options for regular food. Also to mention the breakfast, where the variety of dishes is offered. We’ve chosen the Royal Benedict eggs - they were delightful. The drinks, varying from freshly squeezed orange juice to gin and tonic were amazing. Overall, we were pleased and highly impressed by the service and can confidently say that we will come back.

the staff went out of the way to make our stay comfortable

Our stay was amazing. The lodge and rooms are beautifully done and clean, and the staff were so kind and helpful. I would definitely recommend.

BREAKFAST WAS GOOD, LOCATION WAS EXCELLENT. IT WAS VERY QUIET AND PEACEFUL

The hotel manger Vimbai and her staff were so attentive. When we told them we didn’t need rooms to be cleaned on some days, they made it a point to ask if they can give us water n clean towels when we come back from our daytime activities. The hotel is very new so it is clean and modern. My husband said their bed and pillows are the best we’ve slept on in hotels! The buffet breakfast spread is also very good and it is so centrally located. 2 mins by cab or 5 min walk to closest big supermarket and 5-8 mins walk to city center

I wish my room had a bathtub. That was really the only complaint. The room was advertised as "watering hole view" but it was really off to the side (room 46). Amazing though, I only stayed one night. I woke up to see the sunrise and saw families of pumbas, monkeys, etc. Magical!!!

Beautiful setting and very peaceful.

Location is perfect, this is a nature lover’s delight. Staff are very professional and friendly. Breakfast is great. Stayed in the safari suites and the quality is exceptional. Definitely recommend.
