Set against the breathtaking mountain backdrop of the Zambezi Valley Escarpment, the Royal Zambezi story starts with the two-hundred-hectare domain, located within the Chiawa Game Management Area, with three and a half kilometres of unspoiled river frontage on the northern bank of the Zambezi River. The lodge is situated directly across the river from Mana Pools National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, on the Zimbabwe side and just minutes from the Lower Zambezi National Park.
With lions roaring in the distance and hippos snorting in the river, the luxurious thatched suites, elegant design and gourmet cuisine of Royal Zambezi Lodge furnish a perfect base from which to explore this wild and beautiful area. There are no fences around the lodge, and regular guests include elephant, hippo, buffalo, lion, leopard and a myriad of bird species coming to visit. Gap, the elephant, is just one of the residents, like Dave the crocodile and Jonathina the Giant Kingfisher.
