Description

Victoria Falls River Lodge

Victoria Falls

Victoria Falls River Lodge is located on the banks of the Zambezi river within the Zambezi National Park. The location is incredibly unique and luxurious. Views of the Falls from the lodge at sunset are spectacular and the spray from the Falls is a constant reminder of how close the lodge sits to them.

With just eight thatched and luxurious tents that have been well spaced from one another to ensure complete privacy and seclusion. Each tent is a combination of canvas, glass and thatch with its own private plunge pool. Open plan and free standing the tents have stunning views  over the Zambezi River.

Five equally luxurious family tents are adjoining tented rooms where up to three sharing children can comfortably share while the adults have their own private room. Very spacious en suite bathrooms with both indoor and outdoor showers and free standing bath tub.

Both the tented suites and family tents boast unrivaled luxury of amenities and furnishings ensuring guests could want for nothing. All the rooms are connected to the main area with raised wooden walkways. The main area of the lodge has beautiful views over the river as well as comfortable chairs and couches to relax.

Meals are al fresco after a pre dinner drink around the fire to share stories of the days activities in and around Victoria Falls. River Lodge has many in house activities so guests can remain at the lodge or venture out to engage in some high adrenaline fun.
