WHY IT MADE THE COLLECTION
A secluded riverside retreat on the edge of Zambezi National Park, where elephants wander past your suite and days flow effortlessly between safari, river and the spectacle of Victoria Falls. What sets it apart is the balance: genuinely wild surroundings paired with beautiful design, thoughtful hospitality and a location that lets you experience the Falls without sacrificing the feeling of being truly on safari.

THE EXPERIENCE
THE EXPERIENCE
Set on the banks of the Zambezi, Victoria Falls River Lodge gives you the rare combination of safari, river and one of the world’s great natural wonders in a single stay. Days might begin tracking elephants and buffalo on a game drive, continue with time at Victoria Falls and end drifting along the Zambezi on a sunset cruise as wildlife gathers at the water’s edge. The suites bring a real sense of luxury to the wilderness, with private decks, plunge pools and uninterrupted views. Wildlife regularly wanders close to camp, making even the quieter moments feel special.

Hayley's Take
hAYLEY'S TAKE
I love that this turns Victoria Falls into much more than a two-night sightseeing stop. You can experience the Falls fully, but you're also waking beside the Zambezi, heading out on safari and watching the sunset from the river. For me, that's a much more special way to stay here, particularly for someone who wants wildlife and adventure but doesn't necessarily have time for a full standalone safari.

SUGGESTED ITINERARY
Cape Town → Victoria Falls → Chobe I'd start with 3–4 nights in Cape Town, then fly up to Victoria Falls River Lodge for 3 nights. From there it's an easy transfer into Botswana for a few nights on the Chobe River, so it feels like a real safari without a long trip.
