Adventure Holiday to Ilala Lodge Hotel
Brilliant for spending a couple of hours having a late, lazy lunch. We were offered an upgrade to Palm River Lodge and that was wonderful, lots of mossies but we had the spray and malaria tablets so were well prepared. Great for the sunset cruise.

Beautiful property. The only negative was the droning of helicopter tours during the day. Listening to the falls at night was magical.
