The River Club

Experience & Activities:  

Home to Victoria Falls, the area around Livingstone and across both nearby land borders in Zimbabwe and Chobe in Botswana provide a plethora of possibilities for adventure and excitement.

The property is 50 acres in extent with the main lodge itself surrounded by serene gardens beneath indigenous riverine forest. Wander the pathways listening to a chorus of birdsong or relax on the main terrace overlooking the water or in the privacy of the balcony in front of your suite.

There is a variety of on-site facilities available to all guests to enjoy; chill at the infinity main-area swimming pool with forever-views over the river, play croquet or boulés on the lawn between the main building and Summerhouse; play board games in the library such as chess or backgammon or make use of the tennis court, the gym, the nature/running trail and the Summerhouse.

From something sedate like canoeing on the upper river to exhilarating and unique delights such as seeing the waterfall from the air on a helicopter or micro-light ‘flight of the angels’, to visiting Livingstone Island where the famous seasonal Devils and Angels Pools are, the amazing Ele-Café in the nearby Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park and world-class grade-five White Water Rafting, going on a game walk with tracking the white rhino as the end goal to name but a few (the list is almost endless!) there really is something for everyone to enjoy here.

Accommodations:        

River Suite: Perfectly positioned on the banks of the Zambezi River, River Suites offer seclusion and unimpeded views of the Zambezi. Each River Suite is split level. Features include a sitting area with spectacular views over the river through full length glass doors, which can be opened onto the private balcony to enjoy fresh air and the sunset. Swathed in a walk-in mosquito net, choose between one Empire King Bed or twin single beds. There are two full bathrooms.

Luxury River Suite: Spend days languishing on a secluded private deck, dipping into a private pool and gazing over the Zambezi River from a private suite. Each of the Luxury River Suites have spacious, open plan interiors. Tastefully decorated with Zambezi teak furniture, these rooms feature a living area and one queen-size bed swathed with a walk-in mosquito net. Both suites have a full bathroom. One suite has an additional half-bath as well as a gauze-fronted room to accommodate an extra single bed. The other suite is glass-fronted.

Princess Mary Suite: A luxurious double storey villa situated in a secluded garden with a private pool, this unit offers an intimate experience for families or groups of friends. Named after the Royal Princess Mary, who represented the Queen at Zambia’s Independence in 1964, the suite is just as enigmatic and charming as the person to whom it pays homage. The suite can accommodate 2 to 6 guests. Upstairs, the master double suite has a king-size bed wrapped by a walk-in mosquito net, and full bathroom en-suite. Downstairs, the second bedroom has twin-single-beds enveloped by a mosquito net, a lounge-living area, mini-bar and dining area.
