Songwe village Lodge
Songwe Village
is owned by Kwando Safaris but uniquely it is
entirely managed by 100% Zambian Staff proudly
providing delightful Zambian style service and
atmosphere. Although it is a 'tourist village',
there is so much you will learn about Africa and
her people in this friendly and warm village.
Everything in the village is genuinely authentically
Africa ( apart from the baths - which it has to
be said - have the most awe inspiring views any
where in the world ! ). You are invited to participate
in the village life or just enjoy the wonderful
Zambian hospitality and humour on your return
from a busy day at Victoria Falls.
Songwe Village Location
This stunning property is perched
120 metres or nearly 400 feet above the Zambezi
Gorge, just 10 kilometers or 7 miles from Livingstone,

Songwe Village Attractions
Songwe Village is a reflection
of the Zambian government’s positive and
enthusiastic approach to tourism. You will feel
this energy in the warmth and friendliness of
our staff. Like a growing number people, they
and we believe Zambia is the very best place from
which to see and enjoy Victoria Falls. It is safe,
vibrant and when you gaze down anywhere into the
gorges around Songwe, indescribably beautiful.
Songwe Village Facilities
Here you’ll stay in spacious,
comfortable thatched huts, built in the traditional
style. Each one of the eight huts has a flushing
toilet and amenities with commanding views of
the gorge below.
Songwe Village Additional
Information
The Songwe experience can be
anything you want it to be. You might simply choose
to take a walk along the gorge and take in the
incredible scenes, or pack a picnic lunch and
watch the world go idly by from the banks of the
Upper Zambezi. As well as offering the big adventure
experiences, from white water rafting to bungee
jumping or even a microlight flight over the Falls,
Songwe is about people and culture, set in an
intimate and beautiful location. At Kwando Safaris,
we believe a trip to Africa isn’t complete
without a meaningful introduction to the rich
cultural heritage of the African people. From
the village, we’ll take you on a morning
ox cart ride to our specially built museum, where
you can learn about the extraordinary ancient
history of the Falls and see evidence of human
evolution in the form of stone tools and artifacts.
At nearby Mukuni Village, more recent history
comes to life, as you stand under the tree where
David Livingstone met the present chief's ancestors
about 150 years ago. In this 700 year old village,
little has changed down through the ages. You'll
see traditional skills such as wood carving and
grain pounding still being carried out. You may
even chance a meeting with Chief Mukuni himself.If
you take the time to visit Songwe Village at Victoria
Falls, time itself will take on a new meaning.
Our aim is to stretch your mind as well as your
body. The town of Livingstone itself, with its
fascinating history, colorful markets and interesting
museum, can be a very worthwhile excursion. Whether
you’d like to feel the cooling spray from
the Falls, hear the traditional songs of our Zambian
staff, take in a game of golf at nearby Elephant
Hills Country Club or catch a fighting tiger fish
in the Zambezi … everything at and around
Songwe will elevate your African experience.
