Our Founder and Director, Doc Mati

Decades ago, a young African girl embarked on her first trip to Victoria Falls. As she posed for a photo with her father and sister against the backdrop of the thundering waterfalls, never could she imagine what was to come. That moment sparked a dream in her heart. That dream is now Mbano Manor Hotel, a bespoke luxury five-star hotel, proudly black female-owned business, at the Victoria Falls.

Now a Mother, Grandmother, Businesswoman & Hotelier – Dr Matifadza Martha Nyazema is our inspiring Founder and Owner.

She is the strong woman whose story speaks to Africa’s history and our future, with a forest hotel at Victoria Falls.

Bespoke Luxury by Nature & Design

A bird watchers’ haven

A masterpiece design, Mbano Manor Hotel Victoria Falls was carefully designed to ensure minimal disruption of the original teak tree forest. The design is classic-chic, crafted around bungalow architecture, traditional shutters, abundant spaces and generous verandas from which to enjoy the rich natural setting. Interiors boast effortless comfort with modern amenities, and thoughtful touch points to guarantee a luxury stay. Ancient teak trees dominate the large forest setting, with pathways linking public areas and the luxury suites.

Meet our numerous and colourful bird species, as you walk safely through the sprawling forest paths, or just sit comfortably, for coffee or sundowner, by your suite veranda.

Experience the Majesty of Victoria Falls

One of the Natural Wonders of the World.

Our hotel location balances being the closest forest hotel to Victoria Falls, and minutes away from the town centre. Mbano is conveniently located 4km from the Victoria Falls, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. Witness majesty, as the mighty Zambezi river becomes the largest sheet of falling water, stretching over 1700 metres wide, and dropping over 100 metres down into the gorge in an amazing thunderous rupture. Victoria Falls is a bucket-list paradise, offering an abundance of leisure pursuits and adventure tourism activities. Options include a tour of the iconic Victoria Falls, river safaris, helicopter excursions, game drives in surrounding national parks, white water rafting, bungee jumping and more.
