We stayed 5 nights at the Shrub, the rooms are clean and comfortable, the staff weee so friendly and helpful, the food was OK, the location 6 to 8 minutes drive to the city center, it’s walkable if not too hot during the fay, and the park entrance is around 12 minutes drive. The staff were very helpful in booking all the activities. It’s good value for money.

Shrub Lodge is situated just out of town but the ability of the staff make it easy for you to get to and from any activity. All providers of activities happily picked you up and dropped you home. The friendliness of the people of Victoria Falls was great. If you want a nice quiet clean room then the Shrub Lodge is great.

It was convenient to have the restaurant on-site. The breakfast was great the first morning we stayed. The second morning we left early for Devil's Pool and had a breakfast boxed for our return. It was well packed with more than enough to fill us up for the day. Mr. Perry was great with arranging the visit to Devil's Pool. We really enjoyed our stay.
