Emerging Destinations is pleased to announce the addition of Avani Victoria Falls Resort to its family of cool destinations and companies around the globe.

Located inside Zambia’s Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, Avani is the closest hotel to the legendary falls on either side of the Zambezi River. Many of the guest rooms offer views of the enormous cascade from windows, verandas, or balconies. Guests have free unlimited access to the national park and its many riverside trails and overlooks.

The resort’s 212 guest units range from 24-square-meter Standard, Garden, Family and Superior rooms to 60-square-meter Avani Suites. All rooms feature queen or twin beds, full bathroom, complimentary Wi-Fi, fridge, 220V/110V electrical outlets, personal safe, satellite TV, individually controlled air conditioning, insect repellent devices and a writing desk.

In addition to in-room dining and three restaurants — including The Theatre of Food and Shungu Pool Terrace — the resort offers a romantic al fresco “Victoria Falls Ultimate Dining Experience” and a Zambian village dining experience.

The Avani Spa offers a range of health and beauty treatments to help guests relax, recharge and refresh, while the resort’s Day Activity Desk can arrange activities like whitewater rafting, river cruises, microlight or helicopter flightseeing, and swimming at Devil’s Pool on the lip of the falls.

Very family friendly, the resort features an AvaniKids club with activities for children aged 2-12. Kids will also delight in the fact that zebra, giraffe, or other African wildlife often wander through the hotel gardens.
