The River Club - Zambia

On the banks of the Zambezi River, 18 kms upstream from Victoria Falls, The River Club’s has a distinct Edwardian flavour, in a peaceful and tranquil setting away from the crowds.

The Zambezi National Park is located just across the river, and elephants can be seen on the river bank. A rich bird life is found in the area. Hippos are regularly sighted (and heard) along the river's edge. Photo: Dana Allen

For bird lovers there are nature trails around the lodge, boat cruises, island walks and daily vists to the Victoria Falls.

The River Club does offer game drives into the nearby Mosi Oa Tunya Game Park where there is an abundance of game but sadly no big cats. There is a good chance of spotting white rhino on these trips. Other game that can be seen are: elephant, buffalo, giraffe, zebra, wildebeast and impala.

Tiger fishing is an unforgettable challenge for keen fishermen, particularly during the warmer months. There are various varieties of Bream that are also a good catch. For the more sporting, try catching them on fly!
