Zambia

Royal Zambezi Lodge

PLAN MY TRIP

Overlooking the mighty Zambezi River, Royal Zambezi Lodge offers luxury accommodations on the doorstep of the uncrowded Lower Zambezi National Park.

Accommodations at the lodge consist of fifteen spacious canopied suites arranged for maximum privacy. The eight Deluxe Suites include extra length mattresses dressed in fine linens and down pillows. The Family Suite is constructed of two conjoined Deluxe Suites with a shared seating area in between and is located closer to the main lodge. For the ultimate indulgence, there are seven Presidential Suites available which also come with an outdoor shower, free-standing copper bath, a large lounge area, and a private day bed on the spacious lounge. Each suite features a private deck with a plunge pool.

The camp is located near the Lower Zambezi National Park, the first carbon-neutral national park situated opposite Mana Pools National Park. Once the private game reserve of Zambia’s president, it is now a national park and comprises 2,542 square miles of true wilderness away from the large crowds. A small area on the valley floor is home to many of the bigger mammals including elephant, buffalo, hippo, waterbuck, kudu, zebra, and crocodiles, and occasionally, roan, eland, and the Samango monkey. There are plenty of birds in the area including fish eagles, red-winged pratincole, the elegant crested guinea fowl, black eagle, and vast swarms of quelea.

Early morning and evening game drives are conducted in open safari vehicles. Night game drives are the best way to discover the nocturnal doings of many animals. During the cool winter months, walking safaris are a popular activity for studying the smaller animals and the vegetation of the region in greater detail. River cruises on the Zambezi are the ideal way to spot pods of hippos, snapping crocodiles, and bathing elephants. Avid anglers will enjoy a chance to catch the elusive tiger fish. For the more adventurous, a canoe trip provides a different view of the Zambezi. There are also visits to Chiawa Cultural Village to learn about the lives of the Goba people including their traditions, trades, tools, edifices, and arts.

The architecture of the main lodge area is open and airy, allowing guests to focus on the natural wonders of the region under the shade of the lofty thatched roof. The reception area and lounge are furnished with plush sofas and inviting fireplaces. The dining room dishes up tasty meals made from locally sourced ingredients, they also cater to special dietary needs. For even more relaxation, the lodge has a large infinity pool and the Royal Bush Spa with a wide menu of pampering treatments.
