9/10 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ★ Convenient location, friendly staff and art. Convenient location as it is a stone’s throw away from Vic Falls town centre and it was very close to the marathon starting venue. Friendly staff as well, special thanks to Angie and Mama Sipho for the random conversations I had with them. I was home away from home.

5/5 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Great price and atmosphere We went to Shoestrings on a 3-day trip to Vic Falls in September, and would definitely go back! Food and drink were tasty and very reasonably priced and considerably cheaper than any other restaurants we visited in the town. We stayed in one of the 2-bed tents, which was perfect for what we needed and included a working fan, which was needed on warm nights. All of the staff were so helpful when booking trips and activities, including an airport transfer, which made the whole visit much easier. I would definitely recommend it. There was also a really fun atmosphere on the weekends and a lovely chilled-out vibe during the days if you want to take some time off and lounge around the pool.
