A'Zambezi River Lodge is a five-minute drive from the mighty Victoria Falls, right on the edge of the upper Zambezi – 'upper' referring to its relation to the falls - and bordering on the Zambezi National Park.

Built in two crescent-shaped wings facing the river, the 87 en-suite rooms have balconies or terraces which either overlook the warthog-tended gardens, or the Zambezi River. Here they have a philosophy which applies to everything they do at the lodge: get it right, the first time. And indeed they have got it right with the friendly staff and immaculate grounds.

The lodge has several restaurants/ bars: the Amulonga at the river's edge is an award-winning restaurant which offers traditional dishes - warthog being amongst the favourites. Sebastian's, named after the resident hippo, offers incredible views over the river with the Victoria Falls plume as a backdrop. The Zambezi Bar is the main bar of the hotel and offers a view out over the mighty Zambezi River. Every night you are also treated to traditional music, song and dance while you eat; this is something which you have to see.

The Reading Room is a sanctuary if you are looking for a quiet place out of the heat, you can use this room to catch-up on some emails or to relax with a book before dinner.
