Experience the Magnificence of Victoria Falls

Located approximately 4 kilometres from Victoria Falls and close to the town centre, Mbano Manor provides a secluded forest setting without sacrificing accessibility. Its location makes it an ideal base for discovering the spectacular UNESCO World Heritage Site, widely regarded as one of the world’s great natural wonders.

The mighty Zambezi River cascades dramatically over the Falls, forming an immense wall of water more than 1.7 kilometres wide before plunging over 100 metres into the gorge below. The extraordinary scale and power of Victoria Falls create an unforgettable spectacle and an essential highlight of any visit to Zimbabwe.

The surrounding region offers an impressive selection of adventures and experiences. Guests can explore the Falls on guided tours, cruise along the Zambezi, take to the skies on a scenic helicopter flight, venture into nearby national parks on game drives, or enjoy adrenaline-filled activities such as white-water rafting and bungee jumping.

With its combination of secluded luxury, natural beauty and easy access to one of Africa’s most iconic attractions, Mbano Manor is an exceptional base from which to experience the magic of Victoria Falls.
