Africa Albida Tourism operates the Victoria Falls Safari Collection, a highly-regarded portfolio of properties in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, comprising Victoria Falls Safari Lodge, Victoria Falls Safari Club, Victoria Falls Safari Suites, Lokuthula Lodges, Victoria Falls Safari Spa and The Boma – Dinner & Drum Show.
The collection will be further strengthened by the addition of Albida – Victoria Falls, a new boutique retreat scheduled to open on September 1, 2026.
Victoria Falls is Zimbabwe’s premier tourism and economic gateway.
It provides essential foreign currency, creates thousands of jobs, and anchors the nation’s Vision 2030 economic goals. The city serves as a hub for international investments and business conferences.
As one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, the Falls attracts global visitors, functioning as a vital generator of foreign currency for the Zimbabwean economy.
The Government established the Masuwe Special Economic Zone (MSEZ) and the Victoria Falls Stock Exchange (VFEX) to draw international capital, offer tax incentives and stimulate financial growth.
The upgraded Victoria Falls International Airport allows for direct international and regional flights, bypassing the need to transit solely through Harare, supporting its status as the country’s premier tourism destination.
The city’s world-class hotels and modern conference facilities make it a top destination for Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions (MICE) tourism.-herald
