Wild Horizons Celebrates Double Success at the AZTA 2025 Awards
At the prestigious Association of Zimbabwe Travel Agents (AZTA) Awards 2025, Wild Horizons proudly walked away with two incredible accolades:
🏆 Best Ground Handler for the 15th year in a row
🏆 Best New Establishment for Waterfalls Lodge
These awards are a reflection of the unwavering dedication, creativity and heart that our teams pour into every detail of the guest experience. From pioneering adventures on the Zambezi to creating a world-class lodge that embodies the spirit of Victoria Falls, this recognition celebrates the people behind the brand – the visionaries, dreamers and doers who make it all possible.
15 Years of Ground Handling Excellence
Being recognised as Zimbabwe’s Best Ground Handler for fifteen consecutive years is a milestone that speaks volumes about the consistency and professionalism of our operations team. Whether it’s a seamless transfer, a once-in-a-lifetime safari, or an adrenaline-filled adventure, our mission is to turn every journey into a story worth telling.
Behind every perfectly executed itinerary lies the dedication of our staff – the drivers, guides, hosts, and coordinators – who work tirelessly to ensure our guests feel safe, inspired and cared for. Their commitment to service excellence has cemented Wild Horizons as a trusted partner for both agents and travellers worldwide.
Waterfalls Lodge: A Dream Realised
The second accolade is especially meaningful – Waterfalls Lodge being named Best New Establishment in its opening year. More than just a lodge, Waterfalls Lodge is the embodiment of a dream nurtured by our visionary team, whose creativity and determination brought it to life.
Nestled in the heart of Victoria Falls, the lodge is a celebration of place. Guests are welcomed by the gentle cascade of a water feature that mirrors the natural wonder of the Falls, and interiors that balance contemporary design with the soulful spirit of Africa. Each element tells a story of collaboration – from locally crafted dĂ©cor to responsibly sourced materials – echoing our philosophy that true luxury lies in harmony with nature and community.
Beyond Hospitality: A Commitment to People and Planet
At Wild Horizons, our purpose stretches far beyond creating unforgettable moments for our guests. We are deeply committed to responsible tourism, ensuring that our operations uplift local communities, protect wildlife and safeguard the landscapes that inspire us. Through conservation initiatives, skills development programs and sustainable practices, we strive to ensure that every guest experience contributes to a legacy of positive impact.
Looking Ahead
As we celebrate this double success at the AZTA Awards, our deepest gratitude goes to our exceptional team. These awards belong to you – for your vision, passion and relentless pursuit of excellence.
With the newly opened Waterfalls Lodge, alongside our established portfolio including The Elephant Camp, Old Drift Lodge, The Wallow, and the Lookout Café, we look forward to continuing our journey of delivering world-class experiences that resonate with both heart and purpose.
Here’s to curating more bucket-list adventures, fulfilling dreams, and ensuring that the magic of Victoria Falls and beyond is shared with the world.
