Adventure Holiday to Batonka Guest Lodge
This venue is extraordinary! Service was exceptional and great food. Very close to Victoria Falls, and watch out for those elephants blocking the roads as you drive about.
The food was very good and offered many local cuisine choices, the rooms were fine although the doors seemed to not fit all that well. The guide who met us at the airport "Judy" was a disappointment, in fact she said she booked on something and never followed through she'd get a 2 out of 10; Howeve…
Such a beautiful setting, with a lovely room with a comfy bed, and meals served on a gorgeous patio. The service was top-notch. They accommodated my food preferences with ease and offered consistently delicious food. Good quiet location away from the buzz of town, but close enough for a short drive…
