Lying in your bed listening to the sound of hippos and the Zambezi River flowing next to you is amazing. The River Club is the perfect place to either start or end a holiday, you either relax around the lodge or experience the many activities that the River Club offers.

  • Gregory Fox, Zambia specialist

The River Club is a sunlit bubble of comfort and hospitality that lies dreaming in dappled shade overlooking the Zambezi River, 18km upstream from the world-famous Victoria Falls. The River Club, with its Edwardian-style house and manicured lawns on the banks of the swift-flowing Zambezi River where hippo and crocodile float, seems to straddle the continents of Africa and Europe.

  • Their originality of the rooms stems from the fact that one side is completely open to the river, so that there is an uninterrupted vista of the Zambezi and its far bank from both bed and bathtub.
  • Each room looks west into glorious African sunsets best viewed from the privacy of a ball and claw bath, brim-full with bubbles.
  • Famous Victoria Falls
  • Tiger fishing on The Zambezi River
  • Adrenaline-loaded activities at extra cost: white water rafting, bungee jumping, abseiling, and helicopter flights over the Falls.
