The Lodge
Old Drift Lodge
Old Drift Lodge sits on the banks of the Zambezi in Zambezi National Park, upstream of Victoria Falls and just 4.5 km from the town. The park covers more than 56,000 hectares, and you can explore it by road, by river or on foot.
The main lodge has views all around: the Zambezi to the north and a waterhole to the south. There is a lounge with a fire, an al fresco dining deck on the river and a fire pit for the evenings.
The tented suites have canvas walls, high ceilings and glass sliding doors. Each has a lounge, a deck with a plunge pool and an outdoor claw-foot bath facing the Zambezi, and three of them have a star bed raised above the river.
