Victoria Falls River Lodge

Tented luxury in the Zambezi National Park

With its open-plan design, the Victoria Falls River Lodge offers uninterrupted views over the African bush where elephants graze and over the river where hippos relax. Sit back with a cocktail and take in the incredible vistas under the thatched roof of the lodge before taking a dip in the pool.

A blissful retreat, the lodge features spacious open-plan dining and lounge areas as well as a bonfire outside. Here you'll enjoy a whole host of tour activities and safari experiences, including visits to private hides nearby, for close-quarters experience with elephants and vultures, helicopter tours of the mighty Victoria Falls, white-water rafting and sunset cruises.

Fantastic Experience and start to our holiday

We loved staying at the Vic Falls river lodge, service was fantastic. Nothing was an issue. Melody, Roddy, Obey, Faithy and Becks were fantastic and that was from all different departments.Compared to Safaris' quality of what we saw and in room experience was amazing. The food was very nice but not fantastic that would be my only negative comment

Dream treehouse

True private island experience with an unmatched level of exclusivity as it has only six beautiful rooms in a treehouse setting. Attentive and welcoming staff made us feel as if this was our home away from home. Manager Peter, Butler Reeves, and guide Blessed all made sure that we had a memorable stay in this paradise setting on the Zambezi river. Exceptional food with amazing sunsets and sunrises in a peaceful environment made this lodge stand out in all respects.
