A jewel in Victoria Falls
It was awesome. They are doing a great job, from Enochs pick up at the airport, smiling and on time, to Blessing and Olli's continued help and professionalism at the front desk. Also the staff do a fantastic job keeping the place sparkling clean which can be hard to do in a hostel! We were very happy there and can recommend it wholeheartedly!

Friendly staff that organized all my transfers and activities, easy to meet people but still have privacy...nice pool area and good breakfast. Walk to town about 2km, so not that far and there is a shop 1km away too for basics. Worked out better to pre book a pickup from the airport.
