Zambia

Tongabezi

PLAN MY TRIP

Just upstream from world-renowned Victoria Falls, Tongabezi is a welcoming and privately-owned retreat on the banks of the mighty Zambezi River.

The lodge has an extensive variety of cottages and houses catering to all guests and groups. The four River Cottages have high ceilings, giant bespoke wood, and glass windows and doors leading onto expansive pine decks. The five houses all have unique names and features including the Honeymoon House, Bird House, Tree House, Dog House, Nut House, and Garden House. Three of the houses sleep up to two people while the other two can accommodate up to five people in two en suite bedrooms. Each house has an en suite bathroom some with claw foot tubs. The private decks have inviting plunge pools to keep cool. A private valet sees to every need.

The camp is ideally located near Victoria Falls, one of the seven natural wonders of the world, it straddles the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. While Victoria Falls is neither the tallest nor widest waterfall in the world, its claim as the largest waterfall is based on its combination of width and height. Together, the two create the earth’s largest sheet of falling water. For decades, the falls have become increasingly popular with the newly built Victoria Falls Town and Victoria Falls Bridge. Nearby, Zambia’s Mosi-Oa-Tunya National Park offers the region’s best game-viewing opportunities including Angolan giraffe, Grant’s zebra, warthog, sable, eland, Cape buffalo, impala, and other antelope.

Various inclusive activities are available at Tongabezi Lodge. Some of the exciting choices include canoeing, boating, and fishing on the Zambezi to visiting must-see destinations like Victoria Falls, Maramba Market, Mukuni Park, and Simonga Village. Exciting game drives and guided bush walks introduce guests to some of the area’s most spectacular wildlife. For thrill-seeking visitors, memorable adventures include riding elephants, swinging over gorges, bungee jumping, tandem kayaking, horseback riding, and more. The mighty Zambezi River offers plenty to do from river cruises to see the pods of hippos and large Nile crocodiles to swimming to the very lip of the falls to whitewater rafting in the gorges below.

Fruit orchards, lush vegetable gardens, and herb gardens provide only the freshest seasonal produce for guests to enjoy. Chef Zuwi Nawa heads the kitchen staff, a team committed to exceptional food, entertaining presentation, and incorporation of typical Zambian cuisine. Guests are also encouraged to visit the beautifully renovated kitchen and lush kitchen gardens. The lodge’s main pool is set against a rocky outcrop with a large lounge bed in the treetops overlooking the Zambezi River.
