River Lodge Suites

River Lodge sits directly on the riverbank upstream from Victoria Falls. River Lodge Suites measure 80 square metres (861 square feet) and accommodate two guests in a king bed, with a balcony or terrace. The colonial décor and riverside placement create an early-explorer aesthetic while allowing direct Zambezi views from your accommodation.

Island Lodge Villas

Island Lodge, situated on Katambora Island, houses larger villas measuring 150 square metres (1,615 square feet) with the same king-bed configuration and balcony or terrace access. These island-set rooms offer additional seclusion and allow guests to sink into sunset bubble baths on their private decks, a signature experience at the property.

Design and Privacy

Both lodges' suites balance spacious layouts with intimate settings. Colonial architectural references honour the early-explorer heritage of the Zambezi region, while strategic positioning—on the riverbank or island—ensures each suite enjoys both river access and privacy. All 14 units follow the same design language and bed type, making the choice between River Lodge and Island Lodge primarily one of setting preference and villa size.
