River Club Lodge

With its high vantage point on the bank, the River Club Lodge looks across the river and large herds of elephant and buffalo can often be seen from the lodge coming down to the water to drink. The River Club has been built true to African Colonial style with high ceilings, and a lovely wide veranda running around the building. Deep white wicker settees and rocking chairs, parlor games, a library and, of course, the beautiful view ensure hours of relaxed pleasure; the services of a very attentive bartender will ensure that every whim is catered for. The sunsets from River Club are spectacular and unforgettable!

The roomy wood and thatch split level chalets are decorated in simple colonial style, each looking into the African sunset, with a special view of the river and Zambezi National Park.

In the evening "The River Club" is enveloped in a symphony of sounds of the bush as hippo and lion calls lilt over the water.

Elephant are frequently sighted on the small islands in front of the lodge.

The main lodge building, with its colonial style tin roof, houses the dining room, lounge, drawing room and library which is stocked with volumes of historical and wildlife literature make for the perfect setting for a truly unforgettable Victoria Falls experience.
