LOKUTHULA LODGES COMPLETE FIRST PHASE OF REFURBISHMENT

Lokuthula Lodges has successfully completed the first phase of a soft refurbishment project, enhancing guest comfort while retaining the warm, welcoming charm that has made the property a firm favourite for families, small groups and self-catering travellers for more than 30 years in Victoria Falls.

The initial phase of upgrades covered Lodges 38 to 45, with the remaining sixteen lodges scheduled to follow in January. The refurbishment forms part of an ongoing commitment to maintaining high-quality standards while preserving Lokuthula’s authentic bush atmosphere and strong Zimbabwean identity.

Thoughtful Upgrades for Modern Comfort

The enhancement project focused on improving functionality, comfort and aesthetic appeal across several key areas of the lodges. Bathroom upgrades included the replacement of toilets, the removal of bathtubs, and the installation of new walk-in rainfall showers, offering guests a more contemporary and refreshing experience.

Interiors were also refreshed with updated soft furnishings in the lounge areas, creating lighter, more inviting living spaces. New bedroom cushions have added warmth and texture while complementing the lodges’ natural colour palette. Walls and doors were carefully repainted in warm, Ndebele-inspired hues, celebrating the region’s rich heritage and reinforcing Lokuthula’s distinctive sense of place.

“These updates ensure that Lokuthula Lodges continue to offer exceptional value and comfort for today’s traveller, without losing the bush feel and character that guests love,” said Anald Musonza, Head of Sales and Marketing.

Ideal Base for Victoria Falls Exploration

Located just minutes from Victoria Falls on the Victoria Falls Safari Lodge estate, Lokuthula remains an ideal base for travellers seeking affordability, space and convenience. The lodges are available on both a bed-and-breakfast and self-catering basis and are set within attractive gardens.

Guests enjoy easy access to a swimming pool, the award-winning The Boma – Dinner & Drum Show, as well as the Buffalo Bar and MaKuwa-Kuwa Restaurant, both overlooking a wildlife-rich waterhole. Additional family-friendly facilities include a children’s playground, trampoline and pickleball court. The attractive split-level lodges overlook indigenous bush, allowing guests to enjoy sightings of warthog, bushbuck and an abundance of birdlife directly from their private terraces. The completion of this first phase of refurbishment reinforces Lokuthula Lodges’ position as one of Victoria Falls’ best-value accommodation options, combining comfort, location and a relaxed, home-away-from-home atmosphere
