Tongabezi

Tongabezi Location

Tongabezi is situated 20km upstream from Victoria Falls, on the banks of the Zambezi, overlooking Victoria Falls National Park. Flying in on the Tongabezi aeroplane, one looks down at Zambia and wonders if it is as fascinating on the ground as it looks from the air. The car ride to the lodge is a smooth and effortless twenty minutes. Friendly staff welcome guests with ice cold drinks, allowing one to absorb the surroundings.

One's impression is dominated by the all-consuming view of a river, which has carved its authority halfway across Africa. Built on the edge of the banks of the Zambezi, Tongabezi Lodge reflects the mystery, style and excitement of the fast-fading spirit of old Africa. The scenery from all the rooms is incredible and even the toilets have views! Nature dominates the architecture everywhere and one could imagine why Tongabezi has been called 'the abode of the Gods.'
