Juergen

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Amenities
The room did not have a TV. There were no vending machines on the facility so the only way to get a soda is when the bar is open. The area between the airport and the town was OK. The town itself was not bad - I never felt unsafe - there were cops patrolling. As you walk towards the VF bridge, it looks like a garbage dump and stinks of sewage / The Zambia side was better. As a walker you were constantly accosted to buy this or that nicknack or hire a taxi, sometimes these guys would stikc with you for 5 minutes. Customs was always very professional. The room had skeeter curtains, they were marginally affective, make sure you spray yourself against skeets. (I think I picked up malaria). When you pay for an attraction (heli-ride, rainforest, etc) you are safe. Recommend staying on the Zambia side, I will never return to this dump (literally)

Very central and easy access to brewery, distillery, craft markets, central town and even easy walk to the falls. It’s a large site with many rooms, breakfast can be full but always lots of food and good service.
