Victoria Falls Safari Lodge has once again been voted Zimbabwe’s ‘Best Safari Lodge’ by AZTA (Association of Zimbabwe Travel Agents).
This is the eleventh consecutive year that the lodge has been honoured with this award, reflecting peer recognition of the effort, commitment and service/quality delivery that is achieved at this world class resort.
Last week Friday’s AZTA awards ceremony also saw Victoria Falls Safari Lodge receive a Special Award for its contribution to conservation and the environment. The “Green Trophy” was donated by the Zimsun Leisure Group and was awarded to the lodge for its contribution towards conservation with specific reference to the spearheading and coordinating of the Victoria Falls Anti Poaching Unit.
The Anti Poaching Unit was established in 1999 by Victoria Falls Safari Lodge and local safari operator Charles Brightman. Today the unit consists of a 13 man team and patrols an area of fifty square kilometers. The unit has to date captured several hundred mammal and wood poachers and removed over 17 000 snares from the region.
Says Victoria Falls Safari Lodge’s Managing Director Ross Kennedy, “We are proud and privileged to be part of this wonderful destination, with an outstanding team of management and employees driving this ongoing success. We remain dedicated to the delivery of a world class experience to all our guests from around the globe, and locally. The local Travel trade supply chain is vital to us and we value this award highly.”
“Our commitment to the conservation and protection of wildlife and the environment around us remains a high priority, and we are sincerely humbled by this recognition and honour from our peers,” says Kennedy. |
