Royal Zambezi Lodge
The Lower Zambezi National Park
Royal Zambezi Lodge is a luxurious lodge located on the banks of the Zambezi River.
There are 14 secluded tents, each with a thatched canopy and spacious bathroom. Of the 14, ten are standard rooms and four deluxe chalets. The deluxe chalets each boast a stunning external deck with plunge pool, bath, shower and sala.
All the chalets are spaced out along the river bank under mature trees, with private decks and views of the water. Bush noises lull you to sleep at night, and you can watch the sun rise over the river each morning.
The open plan reception area, lounge and dining room overlook the river and are designed with classic architectural lines, high thatched roofs, and two large fireplaces for the cooler evenings. A wide copper-roofed veranda provides an informal space for al fresco dining or taking tea in the afternoon.
A timber deck extends over the river floodplain and this is ideal for relaxing on and watching the birds, elephant, hippo, buffalo, waterbuck and other game. In the evenings guests gather at the Sausage Tree Bar, built around an ancient sausage tree. Next to the bar is an infinity pool, ideal for the heat of the day.
Finally, the lodge also has a small spa with two treatment rooms, a steam room, jacuzzi and small pool. Activities available at the lodge include game drives in the national park, walking safaris, boat safaris, canoe trips and fishing trips.
Dinner on an island in the river and a private dinner in your chalet are available on request.
