WATERBERRY ZAMBEZI LODGE – LIVINGSTONE

Waterberry Lodge is set on the Zambezi riverbank near Victoria Falls and perfectly placed for guests to enjoy total peace and quiet while being close to the Falls and all the adventures that Livingstone has to offer. Away from the noise and bustle of activities around town the perfect silence is enhanced by birdsong, the sound of hyena and lion on the opposite bank and the whistle of frogs along the river’s edge

Choose from bright, individual rooms in the 7-room lodge, a private safari house or a luxury tented woodland site. The lodge is right on the river and has spacious sun and dining terraces, a lounge, magnificent gardens with individual cottages dotted around the lawns and along the river, and a swimming pool surrounded by rockery gardens.

There are lots of activities to choose from – inhouse a sunset river cruise and a visit to a local village and school. Further afield is Victoria Falls and there are so many ways to see them – walk around, climb down to the Boiling Pot, fly over in a helicopter or microlight, raft the rapids, climb under the spray at low water, or swim in Devils Pool at the top of the Falls. Or you can simply enjoy relaxing at the lodge and experience rural Zambian life first-hand – see how tourism is giving back schools, a farming cooperative and adult skills centre.

The three safari tents are furnished as doubles or twins, with lounge seating inside and out, plenty of storage for clothes and luggage, a private veranda garden and an ensuite bathroom.

Guests enjoy breakfast at The Woodlands either at their tent or on the central dining veranda. Other meals are served in the Waterberry restaurant which is a couple of hundred metres walk away along sandy paths round the private dam. The swimming pool and other lodge facilities are for Woodlanders.

ACTIVITIES AND WILDLIFE
