Just a 30-minute drive from Livingstone town and upstream from the mighty Victoria Falls on the banks of the Zambezi River is the informal and friendly, Waterberry Zambezi Lodge.
An attractive riverside setting in a secluded position, Waterberry boasts wonderful views across the river to the Zambezi National Park.
Seven cottages offer a range of comfortably furnished accommodation including two family units with adjoining bedrooms. Cottages are free-standing or semi-detached; some are open to high thatch roofs and most have a private deck overlooking the river or private dam.
Activities from Waterberry include a transfer to and from Victoria Falls (one per stay. $20 per person park fee payable locally), a marked nature trail around the lake and boats for fishing, sunset cruises or island picnics. Two in-house activities per day included.
Located upstream from Victoria Falls, this lovely little lodge sits on the backs of the Zambezi River. A friendly team, good service and a very attractive setting make this one of our favourite lodges.
Some of the wonderful places to stay that we frequently recommended.
Set in the Mosi-Oa-Tunya National Park and only a short distance from Victoria Falls, this elegant river-facing lodge lies on the banks of the Zambezi. Built in a contemporary style, Thorntree River Lodge centres on a beautiful open dining area, with expansive wooden decking that features a cosy sunken boma.
The Islands of Siankaba is comprised of two densely forested sand islands in the Zambezi River near the Siansimba Rapids. Located 40 kilometres upstream from the internationally renowned Victoria Falls and just 50 kilometres from the magnificent Chobe National Park, Siankaba is an incredibly picturesque destination. The camp is split between the two islands and linked by a suspension bridge and overhead walkway in the tree canopy. One is home to seven secluded chalets constructed from teak and custom-made canvas tenting – raised well above ground level in the tree canopy, they have private balconies that extend over the river. The other island houses a restaurant with a reputation for ‘haute-cuisine in the bush’.
Tongabezi is situated on a private estate on a sweeping bend of the Zambezi River, facing west and towards the sunset and the Victoria Falls National Park. The lodge has five cottages and six houses – The Tree House, The Dog House, The Bird House, Honeymoon House and The Nut House – all with spectacular views across the river. Tongabezi cottages are comfortably furnished and the houses are all unique in design. Both the cottages and houses have en-suite facilities with a shower and a ‘bath with a view’. The central lounge, bar and dining room are under thatch and there is a swimming pool which has been landscaped into the rock face. Activities are varied and include a tour into Livingstone town to visit the historical museum and other places of interest.
The Royal Livingstone is a sophisticated five-star hotel found on the banks of the Zambezi River on the Zambian side of the Victoria Falls. See the spray and hear the roar of the falls from the grounds of The Royal Livingstone and have direct access to the falls. It sits within the Most-oa-Tunya National Park with giraffes, zebra and impala regularly roaming throughout the property. Its 173 rooms are elegant and classy and are designed to evoke a bygone era – all have private balconies or terraces. The hotel has an a la carte restaurant and a lounge bar serving light meals, both of which open into spacious verandas overlooking the gardens and river. Guests are also able to enjoy a traditional Boma dining experience at its sister property, the Avani Victoria Falls, next door.
