Waterberry Zambezi Lodge

Rooms

The charming stone and thatch cottages are arranged strategically around the property in various settings throughout the main grounds. Their rustic decor provides an authentic atmosphere that matches that of the lodge. Though the units are not overly spacious, the high thatch creates the feeling of space. Each unit is equipped with a fan, air conditioning in the bedroom, a hair dryer, indoor seating area with coffee table, en suite bathroom with shower, tea/coffee making facilities, a balcony or deck, mosquito nets and a safe.

There are three cottage categories to choose from, including secluded Riverside Cottages, Garden Cottages and Family Cottages. Extra beds can be added to most rooms for those with young children. There's also a four bedroom farmhouse that can be booked on an exclusive basis. As not all the cottages have river views, we recommend staying in the cottages named Swallow or Weaver if you want complete privacy alongside incredible views of the river.

Location

Waterberry Lodge is located around 25 km (15.5 miles) from the lively town of Livingstone and the incredible Victoria Falls. The lodge's position on the Zambezi River also allows for a number of water-based activities. 

Food and drink

All meals are included in your room rate and are served in the alfresco dining area overlooking the river. Food is hearty, home-cooked fare that's professionally served to guests at their leisure. The informal 'come-as-you-are' atmosphere at Waterberry creates a truly relaxing experience throughout your visit at the lodge. The staff are well-equipped to handle special dietary needs, allergies or food aversions when notified in advance.

Families

This property is family-friendly, offering Family Cottages on the main property and a four bedroom private farmhouse for those requiring a bit more space. Please note that none of the pools on the property are gated, so it's essential that children be minded at all times.

Facilities and activities

While staying here you can enjoy strolling around the pleasant gardens and exploring the nature trail around the lake, where you may spot a variety of wildlife. You can also take a refreshing dip in the outdoor pool (there's a separate plunge pool for children), curl up with a book in the library or play a board game and relax with a drink on the outdoor platforms overlooking the river. The lodge also has boats should you wish to cruise along the river, as well as floating pontoons that make a great place to sit with a sundowner. The riverside location means that fishing is also a popular activity. Wi-Fi access and a laundry service is included in the cost of your stay.
