Ursula's Homestead
Ursula’s Homestead is the quintessential wilderness property – elegant, relaxed and small-scale. Location here is everything. Set within Victoria Falls Private Game Reserve and with the Falls themselves just 15 minutes away, Africa is waiting out there. This intimate homestead, of four individual garden Rooms, is the sister property of Stanley & Livingstone Boutique Hotel and in keeping with a Victoria Falls experience that is wonderfully classic. Facing outwards, the Rooms have lovely views of the wildlife passing by and less of the neighbors. Although, these could be your friends and family. There is a private and personal atmosphere to Ursula’s, which feels more like a remote bush home than hotel, and there is the option of booking it out exclusively.
From each Room’s terrace, French doors open into a spacious double bedroom (configured as twin or triple, to sleep a little one, on request), including a dressing table, beverage station, minibar and wardrobe, adjoining an en-suite with a walk-in shower. It makes for a comfortable stay, encouraging you to make yourself at home. Pour a cuppa and settle back against the pillows or pad outside to enjoy a morning coffee, while watching giraffe and buffalo arrive to the watering hole.
The Rooms, as well as main guest area, terrace, fire pit, and poolside are all set in a semi-circle to take in wide-open views of the natural reserve. It’s an environment of peace and tranquillity, while being just minutes from the world-famous Falls, busy town and surrounding attractions. Up for exploring? The Concierge is always on hand to assist and complimentary transfers take you into Victoria Falls.

Game Drives
Morning & Afternoon
Departures: Daily, year-round at 6:00am ish and 3:30pm ish. Spend 4-5 hours in search of wildlife with your driver and guide. Morning drives include a bush breakfast and evening game drives include a bush dinner.
Tour of Victoria Falls
Walking through the riverine forest and along the falls, you’ll learn more about this environment and its history, before arriving at Dr Livingstone’s statue. Standing next to this landmark becomes nostalgic when considering a lone man made his way through deepest Africa, coming across tribes he could not communicate with and battling illness, to be the first non-African to lay eyes on the falls. All activities attract extra costs and are booked at the time of reservation confirmation, or once at the homestead.
White-water rafting
The wildest white water in the world! Victoria Fall’s mile-long curtain of water thunders into the Zambezi River gorge below, creating an environment for white-water rafting unlike unlike anywhere else on earth.
Helicopter flight
Helicopter flight: Zambezi Spectacular (25 minutes)
The pilot flies left- and right-hand circuits over the falls to give you the best perspectives, over the Zambezi’s Batoka Gorge, and following the river downstream
as its carves its way between steep cliffs. On the return leg of the trip, you’ll fly over the upper stretches of the river and over the Zambezi National Park, home to an abundance of wildlife.
Birdwatching safari
Over 130 bird species have been recorded in a single day! Catering for the keen twitcher, the birdwatching safari is a tailor-made experience. By open safari vehicle, boat or on foot, head into a variety of habitats for chances to spot an array of beautiful, unique and rare species.
