We had an amazing trip. We had a wonderful time in Sun City doing a self drive Safari in Pilanesberg, The palace and the breakfast were fantastic. Our early morning balloon ride was such a beautiful experience.
Sabi Sands was amazing. We went straight to a leapord kill upon arrival. Our guide Peter was amazing and actually tracked a pride of Lions for us.
Victoria Falls was beautiful. We went when the water was high so there was a lot of mist making it hard to see the entire falls, but it was still amazing. The Victoria Falls River lodge was incredible. We had an amazing cook and our Butler David was awesome. Overall the trip was amazing and everything went smoothly with Lize taking care of everthing for us as we traveled from place to place.
We will use Kimkim again in the future. Thank you so much for an amazing trip!!!

Hotel Review
Victoria Falls River Lodge

Our every need was taken care of and the personal service was incredible. We enjoyed every moment. Having our own private lodge with guide, butler, cook and staff was the experience of a lifetime.

Location
Right on the river with plenty of wildlife coming in and out all day long. Quiet and relaxing
Staff
All of the Staff was professional and took care of our every need
Cleanliness & Comfort
The lodge and rooms were very clean and comfortable. They even did our laundry for us.

Hi Linette, Thank you so much for your lovely message — I’m absolutely thrilled to hear that you had such an amazing trip! It sounds like you experienced the very best of Southern Africa — from the breathtaking balloon ride in Pilanesberg and the grandeur of The Palace, to the unforgettable sightings in Sabi Sands (a leopard kill on arrival… wow!). I’m so glad Peter was able to track those lions for you — he really is exceptional. And what a treat to end off at Victoria Falls River Lodge!... Read more

Hi Linette,

Thank you so much for your lovely message — I’m absolutely thrilled to hear that you had such an amazing trip!

It sounds like you experienced the very best of Southern Africa — from the breathtaking balloon ride in Pilanesberg and the grandeur of The Palace, to the unforgettable sightings in Sabi Sands (a leopard kill on arrival… wow!). I’m so glad Peter was able to track those lions for you — he really is exceptional.

And what a treat to end off at Victoria Falls River Lodge! I’m happy to hear David and the team took such great care of you — even with the mist, Victoria Falls always finds a way to impress.

It was truly a pleasure planning this journey with you, and I’m so grateful for your kind words. I look forward to helping you again when Africa calls you back for your next adventure!

Thank you for the beautiful photos!

Warmest regards,
Lize
