Elena House

A modern, fully furnished villa with an open-plan lounge, a formal dining room and a pool with its own rock waterfall.

The living space runs from the lounge, with its recliners and large TV, through to a formal dining table that seats the whole party. The kitchen is fully fitted, so the house works for a group that would rather cook than eat out every night.

Bedrooms come as kings and twins, each air-conditioned with its own TV. Outside there is a pool built against a rock waterfall, which is the feature everyone photographs first.

We book Elena House as part of a Victoria Falls trip — with airport transfers, activities and day trips arranged around your stay. Browse the activities or tell us your dates.

Wonderful experience! Wonderful experience to be up close and personal with the elephants. You can tell they take very good care of the elephants and have taught them good positive reinforcement for behavior.

Wonderful experience but don't try to leave early - surly staff My daughter and I went to this as she was keen to try a mopane worm. Most of the experience was really enjoyable and the food very good. Unfortunately when we left (a little early as my daughter is still young and was tired), the woman at the door (likely realising we would no longer be available to purchase any of the "extras" (drinks/facepainting/n'anga) basically snatched off our sarongs with a very surly expression and no goodbye etc which was really sad as it detracted hugely from our memory of the experience. If not for her, I would have rated 5 stars

Great fun to the beat of the drums Good local cuisine, an entertaining floor show by the percussion-and-dancers ensemble, and providing a conga drum to each guest is a masterly way of inviting audience participation, by adults and children alike. The food is plentiful and varied. Plus a very smooth hotel pick-up and drop-off system. An unintrusive presence by vendors and side entertainers (fortune tellers et al.), quite untypical for a locale that other reviewers have labelled "a tourist trap". All in all, a great night out.

Exceptional service, best local guides for Victoria Falls. Excellent service from the point of contact, airport pick up, activities and the accomodation recommendation was just what we needed for a quick Vic Falls getway. Patrick Manyika was exceptional. Friendly and knowledgeable. More than willing to give us discounts where possible and accomodate our many changes and questions. We will definately book again.
