Set on a tranquil stretch of the Zambezi River just upstream from Victoria Falls, Tongabezi Lodge is an award-winning luxury retreat combining romance, character and a wonderful sense of place. Rather than a traditional safari lodge, the experience is centred around the river, exceptional personal service and individually designed spaces, creating an intimate and highly memorable stay, with a host of included activities. Sustainability and community are integral to the Green Safaris philosophy, but the overall feel remains effortlessly luxurious and indulgent.
Rooms
Accommodation is wonderfully individual, with a collection of River Cottages and distinctive Houses, each designed with its own personality. Interiors feature carefully selected African furnishings, natural materials and luxurious touches, with an emphasis on open spaces and views towards the Zambezi. The overall style is romantic and sophisticated without losing the warmth and character of a boutique African retreat.
Dining
Dining is very much part of the Tongabezi experience, with meals served in imaginative locations overlooking or even on the Zambezi. Romantic private dining is a speciality, including the iconic Sampan Dinner, where guests dine on a floating platform as each course is delivered by canoe. Relaxed riverfront meals, sundowners and beautifully presented cuisine add to the lodge's sense of occasion.

The Lookout
The Lookout was conceived as the ultimate chill out zone next to the existing Tonga Lounge, dining and cocktail decks. With its feet planted firmly in the Zambezi, the Lookout offers guests the chance to feel at one with the great river and the separate levels ensure extra privacy.

Location
Tongabezi enjoys a secluded riverside setting approximately 12km upstream from Victoria Falls on the Zambian side of the Zambezi. Its peaceful location feels wonderfully removed from the activity around the Falls, yet guests remain within easy reach of Victoria Falls, Livingstone and Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park.
