Tongabezi Lodge Victoria Falls

Tongabezi Lodge Victoria Falls, recognized by Conde Nast as one of the 20 best hotels in the world, is an eco-friendly property located on the banks of the Zambezi River, which is an excellent starting point for exploring Zambia. The hotel was built in 1990 on the initiative of safari enthusiasts who went on an expedition up the Zambezi River, looking for a place to set up a camp. This is how they found a perfect place at one of the bends of the river, which faces west and guarantees picturesque views in the evenings.

Currently, it is the perfect place for a holiday with children in Zambia or a dream honeymoon. The Tongabezi Lodge Victoria Falls hotel consists of 11 cottages decorated in an African style. Spacious terraces provide picturesque views. Some have private pools and gardens. A private concierge helps organize all trips.

The hotel is famous for meals tailored to the individual needs of guests. Delicious lunches and cool drinks at sunset are served in the heart of the bush, but guests also enjoy the opportunity to eat delicious treats on a platform in the middle of the Zambezi River.

The famous Victoria Falls are located just 12 km from the luxury hotel. The hotel can arrange trips to the small Livingstone Island, which separates the waterfalls. At the same time, it is the reason for the creation of the famous, natural swimming pools Devil's Pool and Angel's Pool, located on the edge of the waterfalls, in which you can take a memorable swim during your trip. At the foot of the falls, the Zambezi River picks up speed and the conditions become perfect for rafting, which only the bravest guests will decide to do!

Of course, the region is a destination known among people planning a safari. A trip to Zambia is incomplete without visiting the Chobe National Park, famous for its numerous herds of elephants, hippos, buffaloes and various predators. It is also worth visiting Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, where the guide will talk about the local ecosystem and take guests extremely close to endangered rhinos.

To immerse yourself in the local culture and history, guests are invited to the markets in the towns of Marambai Mukuni, which are one of the most important in the region and allow you to buy real local handicrafts. In addition, during another trip, you can visit the Livingstone museum, which houses maps, diaries and other memorabilia of the famous traveler.
