Royal Zambezi Lodge, Zambia

The exceptional accommodation is offered in 15 private and spacious tented suites, under thatch roofs. Positioned along the river bank under mature trees, so that each enjoys its own perfect view, the rooms are impeccably furnished with a contemporary, understated elegance.　

The timeless elegance of the buildings with their thatch and copper roofs is wonderfully enhanced by the natural but sophisticated furnishings and luxurious finishes. The central building with its lofty thatch roofs and open plan comprises a reception area, a dining room with crisp white tablecloths and an enormous fireplace, and an elegant lounge with comfortable sofas and armchairs, perfect for whiling away a lazy afternoon or relaxing after dinner.

All this is surrounded by a wide shady verandah with copper roofs for al fresco dining or enjoying tea in the afternoon. Timber decks extend over the river floodplain for eating under the stars or sitting around the campfire after dinner listening to the sounds of the African night.

There are endless activities on offer including game drives in an open 4x4 safari vehicle, canoe trips down the river ensuring you enjoy close encounters with elephant and hippos and walking safaris with an expert guide.
