This Upper Zambezi camp offers it all: spacious thatched riverside cottages, valets to provide personal service, 12 inclusive activities – and a beautiful position upriver from the Victoria Falls.
Set in a beautiful ebony grove on a wide stretch of the Zambezi, with spectacular river views, shade and cool breezes. Victoria Falls in 10 minutes’ drive away.
The rooms are open to the elements (even baths have views) and delicious meals are served in various spots, from a boat to a riverside deck.
It’s a place where both romantics and activity-lovers are happy, where one can do three activities a day – and return to five-star comforts.
