An assortment of quirky houses and cottages dotted along the banks of the Zambezi, Tongabezi is a lodge with style, exclusivity and bucket loads of charisma. Only a short boat ride away from the heart of Victoria Falls and buzzing Livingstone town, a host of wild and wonderful activities are easily accessible. But to be totally honest, a day spent in this secluded and peaceful hideaway for a bit of R&R Zambian-style might be just what the doctor ordered…
From $770 person/night
The variety of different spaces all designed specifically for ultimate relaxation. Choose from the Lookout, the Hangout, the pool, or have dinner on the romantic Dining Deck.
Try to squeeze in lunch on Tongabezi’s floating pontoon, during which your food is paddled to you by canoe. Talk about dining with a twist!
The Falls are around 45 minutes away by car so don’t expect to walk out of your door and be greeted by the spray.
Tucked under a shady grove of trees, the heart of Tongabezi is the Tonga Lounge, a reading and dining haven with a casual cocktail bar and sumptuous river jetty. Next to this is the ultimate chill-out area, The Lookout which does exactly as its name suggests and offers fabulous views over the Zambezi from enormous sofas and leather armchairs on multiple levels.
Accommodation is either in one of the riverside cottages, filled with handsome local furniture and giant wood and glass doors leading out to the vast decks, or in one of the five quirky houses. Individually designed, each is very different but whichever you choose you certainly won’t be disappointed; relax in your own private pool at the Nut House, retreat to the Dog House (hopefully for the right reasons!) or sink into the claw-footed bath at the Bird House.

Activities are focused on Victoria Falls and range from daredevil white-water rafting, bungee jumping and micro-light flights to serene day and sunset boat cruises, picnics on Livingstone Island and visits to Tujutane, the Tongabezi school. For animal lovers, guided nature and bird walks are available as are day trips to Mosi-o-Tunya National Park and Chobe on the Botswana border. And of course you can’t go wrong with a day spent in camp, practicing the forgotten art of hibernation.
