Chitova's Guesthouse exterior

A full home, entirely yours

Chitova's is a four-bedroom home in the Aerodrome Suburb of Victoria Falls - ten minutes from the Falls, five minutes walk from town, and entirely yours for your stay.

The house sleeps up to eight guests: Bedroom 1 has two double beds, Bedroom 2 has two queen beds, and Bedrooms 3 and 4 each have two single beds. Three bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, a private pool with a rock waterfall feature, and daily breakfast prepared by our team.

The house is entirely yours - no other guests, ever. A staff member stays on site around the clock purely to keep things running: the generator, the water pumps, and everything else that makes your stay uninterrupted.

"Perfect location, stunning property. Norman and his team went above and beyond. The breakfast every morning was a highlight - fresh and generous."

Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe
One of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World

The Falls Themselves

A mile of water dropping over 100 metres into the gorge below - mist that rises visibly for miles, a roar the locals call "the smoke that thunders," and rainbows that hang in the spray on any clear day. Nothing about it photographs as large as it feels standing in front of it.

Rainforest walk along Victoria Falls

Rainforest Walk

A network of trails through the rainforest the spray itself sustains, with more than a dozen viewpoints along the gorge and the single most visited attraction in Zimbabwe just steps from the entrance.

Bring a rain jacket - the mist reaches you long before the railings do, and on a clear day it throws rainbows across the gorge for most of the walk.

Aerial view of Devil's Pool at the edge of Victoria Falls
Devil's Pool

Swim right at the edge of a 100-metre drop, in a natural rock pool. Open only in the low-water season, August through January.

Sunset over the Zambezi River
Sunset Cruise

Drift along the upper Zambezi as the sky turns gold, with hippos and elephants often visible on the banks.

Gorge swing above the Zambezi
111 Metres Above the Zambezi

Bungee & Gorge Swing

Jump from the Victoria Falls Bridge - one of the highest and most iconic commercial bungee jumps on the continent. The bridge sits directly on the Zimbabwe-Zambia border, with a gorge swing available for a different sensation. Operates year-round, weather permitting.

White-Water Rafting

Grade 5 rapids below the Falls, considered among the best commercially-run white-water in the world - a different way entirely to feel the same river's power. Routes shift with the water level, but the rapids run most of the year. Life jackets, helmets, and safety kayakers are standard - no experience necessary, just a willingness to get thoroughly soaked.

Victoria Falls Bridge over the gorge

Two Countries, One Wonder

The Victoria Falls Bridge carries you across the gorge and straight onto the Zambian side, where the view - and the visa stamp - both change.

Many guests do both sides in a single day: Zimbabwe's Rainforest Walk in the morning, lunch on the bridge, then Zambia's Knife-Edge Bridge and Livingstone Island in the afternoon.

Lions, Elephants & the View From Above

Victoria Falls sits inside its own wildlife corridor. Zambezi National Park is fifteen minutes from the house, with herds of elephant grazing along the riverbank and hippo pods surfacing just off the water's edge most afternoons. Venture a little further and Chobe and Hwange put lion and cheetah properly within reach.

For a different kind of scale entirely, the "Flight of Angels" lays the full width of the gorge out beneath you - then it's back to the ground for reserves that hold some of the most sought-after wildlife on the continent, just a short drive from the house.

Zambezi National Park

Fifteen minutes away. Elephant, buffalo, and hippo along the river, most reliable at dawn and dusk.

Chobe & Hwange

Lion, leopard, cheetah, and the rest of the Big Five within reach for a half or full-day drive.

Flight of Angels

Thirteen and twenty-five minute helicopter tours over the gorge, daily, weather permitting.

When to Go

The Falls change dramatically through the year, and each season rewards something different.

High water (February–May) brings the Falls to their most thunderous - full spray, rainbows, and a wall of white you can hear from town before you see it. Devil's Pool closes during this stretch, and the Rainforest Walk becomes an exercise in getting gloriously soaked.

Low water (August–January) drops the water and reveals the rock face itself, opening Devil's Pool for swimming. Days turn warmer and drier, and it's peak season for most of what's on this page - book ahead if you're planning to visit then.
