The price is not worth it, Zimbabwe is not as fun as Botswana, and the tent is very uncomfortable

You can walk from the Zambia-Zimbabwe border! It was a great hotel in this area, reasonably priced, clean, and had a hot shower! Although I didn't use it, there was a restaurant and pool in the hotel, and a supermarket nearby!

I stayed in a dormitory. The room, shared shower, and toilet were all well-cleaned and nice. I planned to stay one night but ended up staying an extra night. However, there is a bar space which is very noisy and plays music until late at night, so it may not be suitable for people who want to relax. I was tired so I ate at the restaurant attached to the hotel. A beef burger was $9 and a beer was $2. The taste was okay.
