A Vibrant Backpackers in the Heart of Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe. We have been catering to intrepid budget travellers since 1997. Now part of The Bayete Collection since Feb 2021, Shoestrings is family-run and managed to add a little extra attention to detail. 

We pride ourselves on great service, a friendly atmosphere (helped most enthusiastically by our welcoming goat, Chicken) and affordable accommodation, all just a hop, skip and a jump from the iconic Victoria Falls.

There are so many ways to enjoy Victoria Falls and we know you’re looking for an adventure-filled holiday. Our friendly activities team have got you covered, whether it be adrenaline-packed bungee jumping or a more leisurely game drive through the park they can point you in the right direction.
