The River Club

Overlooking the Zambezi, 18kms upstream from Victoria Falls, this wilderness retreat has 10 unique ensuite chalets, completely open on one side to the river – ensuring uninterrupted views of the glistening Zambezi from both bed and bathtub!

The main area is a well-appointed Edwardian-style house – and the swimming pool has been creatively built to almost appear part of the river itself. Hippo are regularly sighted! Manicured lawns (where midday meals are often served) spread out beneath the trees and a croquet court is an ideal venue for a Pimm's-soaked croquet game.

Activities at The River Club include sundowner cruises, visits to the Falls, Simonga Village, local markets and Livingstone. A wide variety of other activities are also available at an additional cost - including white water rafting, bungee jumping, abseiling, and helicopter flights over the Falls. With the Zambezi National Park just across the river, hippo and elephant are regularly heard and seen, birdlife is particularly rich and tiger fishing is a challenge for keen fishermen.

PRICES Prices from £250 per person per night twin share including all meals, drinks, airport transfers from Livingstone, sundowner cruises, visits to the local village, the Livingstone Museum and Railway Museum and excursions to Victoria Falls.
