Lokuthula Lodges

The Resort and Its Setting

Lokuthula Lodges sits on Squire Cummings Avenue in Victoria Falls, a short distance from the falls that give the town its name. It operates as a self-catering, lodge-style resort rather than a branded hotel chain, with a Google rating of 4.6 out of 5 from 573 reviews — a strong track record built up over years of guest stays. The property leans into the bush-lodge feel typical of this part of Zimbabwe, offering a quieter, self-catering base compared with the larger hotels closer to the falls' entrance.

The Area and Things to Do

Victoria Falls needs little introduction: it's one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, with the Zambezi River dropping 108 metres into the gorge below, and it sits roughly half a kilometre from the lodges. Beyond the falls themselves, Devil's Pool — the natural infinity pool perched on the Zambian side — is reachable on a guided excursion when water levels allow, usually in the drier months. Adrenaline seekers can head to Victoria Falls Adventure Park nearby for bungee jumping, zip-lining and white-water rafting, while Zambezi National Park, about 50 km out, offers a proper safari day trip along the river. The town itself is also a handy base for day trips across the border into Zambia and Botswana, border paperwork permitting.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Lokuthula Lodges and are thinking about moving it on, BidMyTimeshare.com works as a straightforward owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week yourself, set your own asking price, and buyers contact you directly through the platform. There's no commission on the sale — sellers pay a single, small one-time listing fee to get their week in front of genuine buyers.

Because Lokuthula Lodges is an independent resort, resales aren't routed through a branded exchange company's resale desk. Instead, any transfer of ownership typically goes through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management team, who handle the paperwork and update the register. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, it's worth both sides confirming two things directly with the resort: the transfer fee charged to move the week into a new owner's name, and the current annual fee, since these vary and aren't fixed by the marketplace. We don't have verified figures for either from the resort at this stage, so treat any number quoted elsewhere with caution until it's confirmed in writing by the lodge's management.

A resale buyer should expect to receive the usage rights tied to the week itself — the allocated period and unit type — rather than any other club benefits that may have applied under the original owner. Ask the resort directly whether the week carries any right of first refusal, and get clarity on how long the transfer process usually takes before committing to a sale date.

Renters, meanwhile, are mostly drawn to the location and the convenience of a self-catering lodge close to the falls — ideal if you're after a quieter stay away from the main hotel strip but still within easy reach of the main attractions.

Practical Notes

Anyone planning cross-border day trips into Zambia or Botswana should carry the right travel documents, as immigration checks apply even for short visits.
