“Luxury option on the Zambezi with incredible birdlife.”
A splurge luxury accommodation option. The rooms are awesome overlooking the Zambezi River - spacious with luxury finishes. The dining and bar areas are lovely with good meals. Loved the sunset cruise and the bee-eater colonies. On the expensive side but value for it.

“A well hidden piece of heaven, with many angels to help us.”
In order to leave as early as possible, we opted for a breakfast box, which was good. The bread was a bit dry and juice was cheap, but rest was good.

“Be careful or you could end up relaxing too much!!!”
Very peaceful location, and great to arrive at the lodge by boat along the Zambezi River. The car was left at the camp, and when we picked it up, it had been washed. Staff were amazing and the guide for the river trips certainly knew about not only the wildlife along the river, but also the cultural life of the local tribes. Good food in the restaurant.

“As a bird watcher’s wife, I was concerned about spending 4 nights in this lodge - but I loved the times on the river and”
The cabin was right by the Zambezi River. The cabin was large, well designed and very comfortable. The food excellent. The river were a highlight for us. Loved the isolation of the place. Great bird watching with Masule. The staff were attentive and gentle.
