Waterberry Zambezi Lodge Zambia

Waterberry’s scenic position on the banks of the Zambezi, with excellent accommodation and outstanding service, makes it the perfect base for a visit to Victoria Falls while escaping the busy town. Guests can choose between three different accommodation options – bright, individual rooms in the 7-room lodge, a private safari house or a luxury tented woodland site. Waterberry Lodge on the Zambezi riverbank has spacious sun and dining terraces, a lounge to enjoy the panoramic views, and magnificent gardens with individual cottages dotted around the lawns and along the river. An inviting swimming pool is surrounded by rockery gardens. The River Farmhouse is a private riverside safari house sleeping up to 10, with magnificent views across the infinity pool to the Zambezi and the national park opposite. The Woodlands Forest Tents set in the shady woods of the conservation area are perfect for birdwatching and relaxing in the peaceful wild. An international Zambian, German and British team run this independently owned lodge and Waterberry is a proud community partner. Guests are able to witness rural Zambian life first hand, and see how tourism is genuinely giving back with schools, a farming cooperative and adult skills centre.

Waterberry Zambezi Lodge offers 11 tented suites, with lodge facilities including bar, pool, restaurant.

Experiences on offer include big 5, birding, fishing, flora, gourmet dining, culture & history.
