Royal Zambezi Lodge

Simply Royal

Royal Zambezi Lodge sits on the banks of the famous Lower Zambezi river, upstream from Lake Kariba. It is a flat, flooded region offering a unique and rich ecosystem for wildlife. The lodge has found the perfect balance between modernity, comfort and authenticity, offering 15 lovely ethnic suites and one of the only spas in Zambia. The Lower Zambezi marks the border between the Lower Zambezi National Park (Zambia) and the Mana Pools Reserve (Zimbabwe). It is a still undeveloped region of unspoiled natural beauty, allowing for exceptional wildlife viewing. On the edge of this strategic waterway lies the refined Royal Zambezi Lodge, displaying all its charms to welcome guests keen to venture in style into Zambia's newest park, covering over 4,000 km² and home to thousands of elephants, hippos and crocodiles. The safaris, led by expert guides, will take you by canoe, boat, 4x4 and on foot for the more adventurous. You will gladly return to rest in one of the 15 superb suites built on stilts facing the Zambezi, take a dip in the swimming pool and unwind in the unforgettable bush spa.
