Victoria Falls Town

Victoria Falls River Lodge

Victoria Falls River Lodge is located in the Victoria Falls area of Zimbabwe.

The lodge is centred on an open-sided main building, leading out to a swimming pool.

Guest accommodation is in thirteen Luxury Suites with air-conditioning ...

... five of which are two bedroom Luxury Family Suites.

There are also six newer Malachite Suites.

... and further accommodation in five luxury Treehouse Suites ...

... one of which has a sleepout facility on the roof.

Activities are centred on vehicle safari, motorboat safari, canoe safari, visits to the Victoria Falls, scenic flights and white-water rafting.

A visit to the falls themselves is surprisingly interesting and impressive.

Scenic flights over the falls can be done by helicopter, light aircraft or micro-light.

The are various high adrenaline options for bungee jumping, gorge swinging and zip-lining.

The gorge below the falls is one of the best locations in the world for white-water rafting.

Motorboat safari on the languid river above the falls can be surprisingly good for wildlife.

This is also a great location for canoeing, with the "Smoke that Thunders" beyond.

Some modest vehicle safari is available in various reserves in the area.

Walking safari is also possible in some locations.

Hwange

Set just 130 km south of Victoria Falls, Hwange is the most popular wildlife reserve in Zimbabwe, renowned for the quality of its safari guiding, rich and varied wildlife, authentic walking safari and superb hides, with guest accommodation in around 25 largely earthy and authentic lodges and camps.

The primary activity is vehicle safari.

Walking safari is also high on the agenda, often including deliberate approaches onto elephants and lions.

The camp also has a remote sleepout platform at Scott’s Pan.

Johannesburg

Set to the northeast of South Africa, Johannesburg is the great commercial heart of the country and the main transport hub, a sprawling mess of a place, scarred through its heart by the gold mines. It is not somewhere safari travellers tend to linger too long, although the Cradle of Mankind may be worth a visit.
