The River Club, with its Edwardian-style house and manicured lawns on the banks of the swift-flowing Zambezi River where hippo and crocodile float, seems to straddle the continents of Africa and Europe.

Its main area is a well-appointed residence, with a comfortable lounge, large dining room, impressive library and wide veranda on which breakfasts and teas are taken. Lush gardens (where midday meals are often served) spread out beneath the trees and a croquet court is an ideal venue for a Pimm's-soaked croquet game. An outdoor game of tennis is also an option. The pool seems part of the river itself, while a secluded deck with hammocks and loungers provides respite. A wellness centre houses a treatment room for manicures, pedicures, facials and massages as well as a sauna, Jacuzzi and mini gym with electronic exercise equipment.

Ten luxury chalets are spread out amongst the riverine vegetation, comprising luxurious bedrooms and [cont.]

en-suite bathrooms, most being split-level. Their originality stems from the fact that one side is completely open to the river, so that there is an uninterrupted vista of the Zambezi and its far bank from both bed and bathtub. Each room looks west into glorious African sunsets best viewed from the privacy of a ball and claw bath, brim-full with bubbles. All have a concertina screen door or window across the front of the bedroom and/or bathroom.

Inclusive activities are river trips, Falls trips, game drives in the Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, and local village visits.  A raft of additional activities are available at extra cost.

CULTURAL VISITS

We think any opportunity to step outside the cosseted realm of the safari goer and into the real Africa should be taken if at all possible.

FISHING

We can arrange fishing tours for both experienced fly fishermen and beginners. Many lodges offer fishing as an activity - notably in the Lower Zambezi.

GREEN SEASON SAFARIS

Just because it may rain doesn't mean you can't enjoy a magical safari at a time with few visitors and stunning scenery.
