Framed by the towering Zambezi Escarpment on one side and the river on the other, Royal Zambezi Lodge sits in the heart of one of Africa’s last truly untamed spaces. Animals move seamlessly between dense forests, open floodplains, and the winding waterways of the mighty Zambezi, creating a safari experience that’s as immersive as it is unpredictable.
Tucked along the river’s edge, the lodge is at the centre of a natural wildlife corridor, setting the scene for conscious connections between community, conservation & eco-tourism.
The spacious Deluxe & Presidential Suites offer private decks and plunge pools with sweeping views of the river, where elephants are often seen crossing the water in a breathtaking display.
The diversity of wildlife here is matched only by the ways to explore it; unlike many safari destinations, the Lower Zambezi is not limited to just game drives. Here, the river is as much a part of the adventure as the land. Guests can experience the wild in a way that feels intimate and exhilarating. Venture into the heart of the bush on game drives, where you can witness the park’s famed wild dog packs execute hunts with breathtaking precision, known for taking down prey as large as a buffalo. For a more tranquil perspective, canoe safaris offer an immersive journey along the river; Sunset cruises provide the perfect balance of relaxation and discovery as you drift along the Zambezi with a drink in hand. For those who love exploring on foot, walking safaris allow you to step into the wild with expert guides. For anglers, world-class fishing offers the chance to battle the legendary tiger fish. Beyond the thrill of wildlife encounters, the Lower Zambezi isn’t just a destination; it’s an experience, raw, breathtaking, and undeniably wild. Whether you seek adventure, tranquillity, or a bit of both, every moment here with Royal is designed to be as extraordinary as the landscape itself.
