Victoria Falls River Lodge
Victoria Falls, Matabeleland North, Zimbabwe · Virtuoso · 2026 benefits
Victoria Falls River Lodge is the first private game lodge to be built in the Zambezi National Park. 13 Luxury Tented Suites are situated on the banks of the mighty Zambezi River – so close to Victoria Falls one can see the spray in the distance! - whilst 6 exclusive Island Treehouse Suites nestle within the leafy treetop canopy of the private Kandahar Island.
Hippos wallow just beyond your private plunge pool at Victoria Falls River Lodge. Its surreal setting along the Zambezi River is so close to Victoria Falls, you can see the spray in the distance. The 13 tented, thatched-roof suites are built on raised decks for prime viewing; earth tones and polished wood floors make you feel at home. The six elite Treehouse Suites, nestled in the leafy canopy of a private island, offer secluded luxury. Enjoy game drives, walking tours, and river cruises; for extreme thrills, go river rafting or bungee jumping. Return for cocktails in the main lodge, watching elephants stroll past.
