The River Farmhouse

The Farmhouse has a huge open-plan lounge and dining area, with gorgeous views of the Zambezi from the shaded veranda and outside dining terrace. The interiors are cool, their crisp white walls the perfect showcase for the owners' collection of colourful local paintings and intriguing sculptures. Squashy leather couches, gently worn Afghan rugs and chunky practical furniture give a warm lived-in feel that’s extremely family friendly. Lush gardens and the infinity pool make this the ultimate riverside chill-out spot.

A private boat and river guide is at your disposal for early morning and afternoon cruises, perhaps with a spot of fishing for bream and tigerfish. Take a guided bird walk, or visit the local village. Spend at least a day exploring Victoria Falls and Livingstone, and, if you're up for it, plunge into the ravine on a bungee jump or gorge swing. Not for you? Simply relax in the swimming pool, watching the river slide past your private paradise.
