Ok, now I don’t normally go for the poshest hotel in the area. But there are those times that you want to splurge a little bit. You want to be a part of history. The Victoria Falls Hotel was built in 1904. It was intended for railway workers in the early 20th century. I imagine it wasn’t actually built for the *workers*. It was more for the ‘tea and crumpets’ set. This group likely either took the railway or managed the construction crews. But imagine being in southern Africa in colonial times. This was over a hundred years ago at a hotel as prestigious as this.
The hotel is quaint and a bit dated. You can feel the sense of occasion that the hotel once represented, especially back in the early 1900’s. We had only two nights there. We had a lunch. We took a walk over the bridge to Zambia. We also walked through Victoria Falls Park. This provided just enough for a taste.
