Tongabezi

Luxurious Tongabezi, is situated on the banks of the Zambezi River, just upstream of the Victoria Falls. The lodge features 2 lounge areas, a bar and dining deck all of which boast exceptional river views. There are also two swimming pools and a gym. Meals are served in the large dining room, on the outdoor deck overlooking the river, in the privacy of your room, or on a floating sampan on the Zambezi River. The six houses and five river cottages are each individually styled and cater for two to five guests. Game drives, bush walks, and river cruises are all-inclusive. Victoria Falls can be viewed in close proximity to the lodge, on a short excursion with your guide. From here guests can choose to visit Livingstone Island from which they can take a dip in the mighty Devil’s Pool, taking a peek right over the edge of the falls as well as enjoy a delicious lunch and learn about the history of the island. Not to be missed is a visit to the Tongabezi Trust School, Tujatane, a school of now over 240 local Zambian students, funded solely by donations from the lodge and its guests.
