Rustic Vic Falls

Q: We intend visiting Victoria Falls in December and are looking at the possibility of budget or rustic accommodation for a family of five. We will be driving there from Durban . - Bongani Nkosi

A: Your best chance of finding cheap accommodation is to look around when you are there, as most of the really cheap places do not advertise on the Internet or sell rooms through travel agencies. It also gives you the chance to investigate both the Zimbabwe and the Zambian sides of the Falls for suitable lodgings. If you want to ensure that you have a bed when you arrive, you can book a night or two at the Victoria Falls Rest Camp in Victoria Falls (from R240 per room) or at Kay's Guest House on the Zambian side (R240 per room). Book these rooms or choose from a wider selection on the www.safarinow.com website. (17/10/10)
