A great place to stay to visit the Vic Falls that will include a soft safari.

Top notch lodge - value for money given the remoteness. Well organized activities - great logistics.

Unforgettable experience

Everything from the transfer drive in the lodge 4x4 and boat hop to the island was first class. Our tented accommodation was superb. Loved the outside shower (there is an internal shower). The included game drives and river cruise were fantastic and our guides were friendly and informative. Hippos in the river close by, monkeys in the trees. You really feel you are in the bush. Food, superb. Service, superb. Full stocked mini bar. Seating area around the fire pit, amazing. I could go on all day with positives. Highly recommend 👌

A place you will not want to leave

Tsowa is a little gem hidden in the Zambezi National Park. We stayed for 2 nights and did not want to leave. 3 nights would have been better. The location is perfect: far from the city, the calm is only disturbed by the sounds of animals. The place is beautiful. We especially loved the campfire at nights. The tents are confortable and in front of the river. The found is delicious. The staff is very kind and friendly, always availible and we had great discussions and learnt a lot from them (about the country, their culture, the national park, animals, ...). They will try their best to make your stay as perfect as possible. A big thank you to them.

Off the grid - go wild!

I booked this trip myself and found it so hard to find good-quality reviews so I’ll try my best to help you out after our 2 night experience here as part of our honeymoon in June. I actually wasn’t even sure if the place existed, it seemed that mysterious. So please read on if you’re in a similar predicament. OK, this is an expensive trip and you’ll probably be visiting as part of a wider tour around the much cheaper South Africa. So what are you paying for? An authentic and safe experience in the wild, miles from cities or towns, where nature lives freely and can be appreciated. This is not a game reserve, this is the real deal. Stanley, our park ranger, was outstanding. So knowledgable, well-spoken, funny, helpful and friendly. Our whole group loved him and he made the trip for us. We were treated to sunset AND sunrise cruises and game drives around the Zambezi National Park. You can also do safari walks and canoeing. They can also arrange day trips for you to the falls. They arranged an airport transfer for us from Vic Falls Airport which was fantastic. I would highly recommend this resort in Zimbabwe, if you have the funds.

I am usually a little sceptical when trying out a new place, so I was very pleasantly surprised when Tsowa far surpassed even my highest expectations on every level. I will definitely be visiting again.
