Tongabezi Lodge

Private Bag 31, Livingstone, Zambia

Love at First Sight

There is no set pattern to days at Tongabezi. Guests do as much or as little as they wish, with game drives, bush walks and boating trips all included in the price. Take a short guided tour of the majestic Victoria Falls. You can also enjoy the Falls from inside the gorge, from Livingstone Island and from the air.

Romance

Experience lavish romance at the Honeymoon House, wake up amongst the birds in the Tree House, or enjoy a romantic dinner overlooking the Zambezi River from the private deck of your own River Cottage.

Your Stay

Our five Houses and four River Cottages are individually styled and cater for two to five guests. Experience lavish romance at the Honeymoon House, wake up amongst the birds in the Tree House, or enjoy a romantic dinner overlooking the Zambezi River from the private deck of your own River Cottage.

What to Do

A wide range of activities are on offer during your stay at Tongabezi. Visit Victoria Falls, enjoy an early morning Game Drive, drift down the Zambezi River on a Sunset Cruise, or book a romantic Sampan dinner floating out on the river. There are also some great activities for adrenaline junkies – white water rafting, elephant back safaris, microlight and helicopter flights, or the famous Victoria Falls bungee jump. Community minded? Do visit our Tongabezi Trust School, Tujatane. Our students are officially amongst the best performers in Zambia, regularly winning national drama, poetry, and traditional dancing competitions, and they’d love the chance to show off their skills.

The Food of Love

Choose to dine with other guests or at a private table on one of three open air dining decks, or in our gorgeous new dining room and bar, raised above the other decks to afford a perfect view of the river. Venture a little further afield to experience a Sampan anchored offshore in the Zambezi River, attended by waiters (and the occasional singing choir!) who deliver each course by canoe!

The Food

Our commitment to fresh seasonal food, entertaining presentation and the option for adventurous travellers to partake in typical Zambian cuisine is legendary. Apart from our Executive Training chef, Tongabezi and Sindabezi share three chefs, three cooks and two pastry chefs. Livingstone Island also has a kitchen team to take care of guests visiting the island. The menus are regularly updated in keeping with the seasonal produce that we grow in our own state-of-the-art vegetable and herb gardens and fruit orchard.
