A'Zambezi River Lodge

Enjoy the substantial lodge grounds where warthogs and monkeys regularly roam and hippo are heard throughout the day and night. With two restaurants and two bars, A'Zambezi offers several dining options - indoors and out, buffet and a la carte. Take your tea in the tranquil reading room, while catching up the news of the world or immersing yourself in a good book; sip a cocktail, served to you pool-side. Wander down to the jetty for views of the river and its attendant wildlife. There are even conference and banquet facilities for special occasions.

The eighty seven ensuite rooms are variously arranged, from double and twin bed configurations to luxury king and queen suites. There are even two rooms that specially cater to paraplegic guests. Each room has a large sliding glass door facing either the central gardens, surrounding national park or river. Rooms come fully equipped with air-conditioning, mini-bars, telephones and satellite TV. It might feel like you're in the middle of civilization, but with an occasional visit from a monkey on your balcony.

Victoria Falls is a hub for adventure-seekers with seemingly innumerable adrenaline activities in the town and surrounds. However, it's equally pleasant for those wanting to relax and take in the landscape in colonial style. Besides viewing the Falls from the adjacent national park, there are several ways to experience its magnitude: a helicopter flight above it and the staggered canyons; a rafting trip through the mighty rapids below; a sedate river cruise; bungee jumping and gorge swinging - not to mention the host of cultural experiences to be had in outlying areas, as well as decent wildlife regions nearby. A'Zambezi is well-connected and can assist you in organizing any of the activities on offer.
