Tongabezi Lodge
About Tongabezi Lodge
Tongabezi is a pioneering luxury lodge on the banks of the Zambezi, just upstream of Victoria Falls on the Zambian side. Its collection of individually designed River Cottages and private Houses — including the famous Dog House — blend eclectic African design with open-fronted architecture that frames the river. Days are spent on boat cruises, island picnics, and visits to the Falls; evenings end with dining under the stars on floating decks. It is one of the Zambezi's most characterful and romantic stays.
Why we like it
Eccentric, characterful luxury on the Zambezi with individually designed houses and one of Africa's most romantic river settings.
