So if I book something more central and less expensive in V Falls, we can do sightseeing and activities and then transfer to Matetsi Water Lodge and be able to enjoy just being there...
Can anyone recommend one of these?

Thanks 
the Matsis lodge is amazing and you have agame drive build int...
the only thing is that you have to drive to the falls but amazing...
I would care about sightseeing especially in Zim. Actually I wouldn't feel too comfortable, for the matter, considering the regime I would saty on the Zambian. Both Sun international Hotels are directly at the flaas and have private access, so oyu don't have to pay the park fee...
Do the helicopter ride and the sunset cruise sounds cheesy but it actually quite fun. Limited booz but ok food .. enough to keep you happy
