A luxury, boutique hotel, the Mbano Manor Hotel, will open its doors near Zimbabwe's Victoria Falls in 2019. The 19-suite property is situated within close proximity of the falls and will feature an untampered nature experience. The rate will be from $800 per person, per night, double, for full board (including accommodations, meals, beverages and transfers).
Mbano Manor Hotel hotel director Mati Nyazema said recent political and economic developments have renewed interest in Zimbabwe as a tourist destination.
"Reports have indicated that the global luxury hotels market continues to expand, characterised by high-end experiences. People are choosing to spend their money on experiences that create memories," said Nyazema. "At Mbano, we have designed our product and guest experiences to embrace the latest trends, such as responsible tourism, perceptive dining, and a simple focus on rest and a pronounced sleep experience."
A strong supporter of conserving the natural environment in Africa, Nyazema said the construction of Mbano Manor supports conservation efforts in the area. "A big part of the design brief was to design an environmentally friendly luxury hotel, that respects its natural surroundings," said Nyazema.
