Amid the spectacular landscape of Victoria Falls, dotted with riverine forests and elephant trails and nestled in peaceful indigenous woodland, is Victoria Falls Safari Spa, the perfect place to escape with your loved one.
A secluded double treatment room awaits at the end of a meandering walkway at the iconic travel destination’s flagship spa, with several treatments available, including massages, facials and body scrubs.
The full body deep pressure muscle ease massage incorporates the therapeutic benefits of arnica, peppermint and eucalyptus to help muscle fatigue, aches and pains. This unique blend accelerates the body’s healing abilities and restores energy levels whilst improving circulation.
Another favourite is the age-defying African Goddess facial, which includes a collagen-infused 24-carat gold mask designed to improve the appearance of fine lines while restoring your natural glow. A stone gua sha massage helps to infuse an antioxidant serum which improves texture and elasticity.
The spa is located on the Victoria Falls Safari Lodge estate, also home to the Victoria Falls Safari Lodge, the premium Victoria Falls Safari Club, the spacious Victoria Falls Safari Suites, the family-friendly Lokuthula Lodges and the “must-do” Boma – Dinner & Drum Show.
The Victoria Falls Safari Lodge estate is renowned for its panoramic sunset views over the Zambezi National Park and a very productive waterhole, where elephants, buffalo and kudu often drink, and sometimes even lions are sighted.
So, against this romantic backdrop and with such a wide range of accommodations, Victoria Falls Safari Lodge estate is also ideal for destination weddings, engagements and honeymoons.
In addition to rejuvenating spa treatments, Victoria Falls has a growing foodie culture, with many exciting restaurants to try, some serving local cuisine, others embracing modern café style fare, and others are fine dining heaven.
A tour of Victoria Falls is a given – viewing this Natural Wonder of the World tumbling majestically across 1.7km and down 108m into the Batoka Gorge and strolling through a rainforest brimming with hidden gems, including the schalow’s turaco, bushbuck and butterflies.
Also topping the Victoria Falls to-do list is a sunset cruise on the Zambezi River, where the feeling of serenity is unparalleled with refreshments, snacks, and birds flitting noisily. At the same time, hippos peep from the water, and crocodiles lazily soak up the last rays of sun on the sand banks.
Other activities to enjoy with your loved one may be a steam train ride to the historic Victoria Falls Bridge and dinner, a helicopter flight over the Falls, a game drive in Zambezi National Park, white water rafting and a selection of high-wire activities, including tandem gorge swings and zip lines. Of course, nothing gets the heart going more than mixing adrenaline with romance!
Victoria Falls offers something for everyone. With its sunsets, wildlife, a wide range of activities, accommodations and restaurants, and being home to the world’s largest waterfall, there is no better place to spoil your loved one, whatever the occasion.
