A'Zambezi River Lodge

Overview

Famously the only hotel in Victoria Falls set directly on the banks of the Zambezi River, A’Zambezi River Lodge offers a genuine safari feel just minutes from town. Its unique, low-slung design features a sweeping thatched roof that curves around manicured lawns rolling down to the water's edge, creating a relaxed, unpretentious atmosphere. Because it borders the Zambezi National Park, wildlife is part of the daily rhythm. Warthogs and monkeys are resident on the grounds, while elephants often drink from the opposite bank. The lodge provides the perfect middle ground: a tranquil, nature-first escape with a complimentary shuttle connecting you to the town centre and the Falls in under ten minutes. With its private jetty for sunset cruises, a large river-view pool, and nightly fireside entertainment, A'Zambezi delivers a riverside experience that punches well above its price point, making it a standout choice for families and nature lovers.
