Insika Lodge

I was on a tour that I ended up leaving before it finished, for many reasons and was not in a good place mentally as a result. I was so lucky to have been able to book Insika for four nights, where I was able to recover both physically and mentally as I made preparations for unexpected changes to my travel plans. Insika was the panacea to my needs at the right time. The staff were incredibly kind, helpful and friendly, even remembering and using my name throughout my four day stay, which made me feel connected and considered. The food was delicious and well priced, the bar staff willing and able to make me the best chocolate milkshakes and the day spa helped me relax and get me back to me. I honestly had the best massage of my life at this spa and I have had many. The complementary river cruise, four course canapé menu, washed down with multiple mojitos, was divine and overall my very short stay was exactly what I needed at a really difficult time for me. Refreshed from all the relaxing (I even had a Pumba come visit the little river at the back of my room!) and reinvigorated by some genuinely good service and the most luxurious and comfortable accommodation, I was in the right space to be able to make ongoing travel plans that allowed me to move forward with a long awaited trip to beautiful Africa. Did I tell you that the bed was so comfortable and after 42 days of travel across Africa in less than stellar accommodations, I felt like a princess floating on clouds. It was my favorite place to be for quite a few hours. I can’t thank the whole crew at Insika for their lovely natures and kind hearted service. Nothing was too much for anyone, everyone was happy to help me with anything I needed. You were exactly what I needed. I would thoroughly recommend this lodge to anyone wanting to get away, to see the most beautiful location in Zimbabwe (the falls) and to enjoy a little luxury. The only thing I didn’t like was that I had to leave. I could have stayed here for ever.
