Some good news is that Airlink will start flights in August (2022) to/ from Victoria Falls and Johannesburg.

This is an excellent addition for them, and replaces the flights lost when, sadly, Comair (who were responsible for the regional British Airways flights) recently went out of business.

Local carrier, Fastjet, as also increased their flights between Victoria Falls and Johannesburg. Fastjet is also now flying between Victoria Falls and Maun (Botswana), which makes for a great addition to the Safari circuit.

Victoria Falls’ largest and first purpose-built spa, is scheduled to open in October. This development is to be named Victoria Falls Safari Spa. The spa will be nestled along a north-facing ridge in indigenous woodland in a tranquil setting on the Victoria Falls Safari Lodge estate. It will be built in harmony with its surrounds, under canvas, reminiscent of African safari tents and filled with ethnic fabrics and artefacts. 

It will include a 280 square metre central area featuring manicure and pedicure stations, private relaxation rooms, a café serving healthy dishes, a hair salon and change rooms, including one that is wheelchair-friendly, as well as three outlying separate secluded treatment rooms (one double and two singles). 

Victoria Falls’ first destination spa will be ideal for wellness weekends, Monday to Thursday breaks, couples’ and wedding packages where bridal parties can book it exclusively. 

From October, make sure you experience a new natural wonder by booking a spot of well-deserved pampering at the Victoria Falls Safari Spa!
