Great choice

Spa treatments

As Royal Zambezi Lodge is set outside the National Park, you can choose to do your game drives inside the park or in the game-management area.

From the lodge you can do morning, afternoon and night drives, walking safaris, river cruises, fishing and canoeing.

The spa comes highly recommended – it won the World Luxury Spa Awards 2013, and its views are breathtaking!

Access & Location

The lodge is approximately a 10-minute drive from Lower Zambezi National Park. On the opposite side of the Zambezi is the famous Mana Pools, which is a World Heritage site.

Make an Enquiry

This property is unfenced and located in a wildlife area, so large and potentially dangerous animals do pass through. If you opt to stay here, always be alert when walking around the camp and request for a member of staff to escort you if you have any concerns. Any guest is escorted after dark as a matter of course.

Facilities
The main area has a lounge and dining room, where meals can be taken if the weather does not allow for outdoor dining.
