Our rooms
Africa under canvas
Authentic and organic; sleeping under canvas on the Zambezi River listening to laughing hippo’s upstream or watching a herd of buffalo coming down to drink, it’s simple and natural luxury living in our safari tented camp.
Immerse yourself in the romance of indoor and outdoor showers looking onto the mighty Zambezi River, while enjoying the pioneer ambience, in considerably more comfort, with a glass of chilled wine from our bar fridge.
Our luxury tented camp upstream from Victoria Falls provides a choice of two room types:
River View Safari Tents are of generous proportions, stylishly furnished and situated to take full advantage of the shade and river views.
The River Deck Safari Tents are situated in a prime spot on a secluded spur of the island in the shade of magnificent trees providing fabulous views upstream and across to the mainland where wild animals roam free.
