VICTORIA FALLS / UPPER ZAMBEZI

Tongabezi Lodge
Tongabezi Lodge is one of the most romantic camps in Africa. It is situated 20 km upstream from Victoria Falls, on the banks of a wide bend in the Zambezi River with sweeping sunset views of the river. It accommodates 18 guests in either lodge houses or tents under thatch and it is worth every penny to pay the extra to stay in one of the lodge houses! The Tree House, Bird House, Honeymoon House and Dog House are all deliciously indulgent, open plan, open fronted and totally exposed to the river. Dinner is en famille or room service. Activities include a swimming pool, grass tennis courts, croquet, birding, fishing, game viewing, canoeing, boating, walking, visits to Victoria Falls and Livingstone (museums and markets), Livingstone Island picnic lunches (July - February), white water rafting, bungee jumping, horse riding, microlighting, Flight of Angels, visits to the local school and lolling around! Children over 7 welcome. Fantastic for honeymooning!

Sindabezi
Sindabezi is situated on a tiny island on the Upper Zambezi, about 3 kms downstream from Tongabezi towards Victoria Falls. It accommodates 8 guests in 2 twin and 2 double thatched rooms, made of local timber, reed and thatch, each with spectacular views over the Zambezi. The island is fully staffed and activities include game viewing, birding, fishing, canoeing, walking, stargazing and relaxing! Groups of 6 or more can have exclusive use of the island (by request).

The River Club
The River Club is situated 18 kms upstream from Victoria Falls along a steep riverbank overlooking the Zambezi. The roomy wood and thatch split level cottages, accommodating 20 guests, are decorated in simple colonial style. The main lodge houses the dining room, lounge, drawing room and library.

Upper Zambezi Canoeing Safaris and Livingstone Island Camp
Upper Zambezi Canoeing Safaris operate a 2 night canoeing trip spending the second night on Livingstone Island (low impact 8 bedded fully staffed tented camp) on the lip of the mighty Victoria Falls. These safaris explore the islands and channels of the Zambezi. Trips are led by professional guides and guests may encounter elephant, hippo and a variety of Upper Zambezi birds including Peter’s finfoot and half collared kingfisher. Livingstone Island Camp is hidden in ebony and milkwood trees and may be booked independently of a canoeing safari.
