Tongabezi

If a destination oozes a romantic ambiance while providing luxury simultaneously, you’d be talking about Tongabezi in Zambia. The place started in the 1990s and has grown from using only tents and buckets to becoming an award-winning destination worldwide. Located at the banks of the Zambezi River and 12 km upstream of Victoria Falls, the strategic position provides a home to an adventure-filled experience.

The team at the Tongabezi-eco-lodge has mastered the art of customer care. At your arrival, you’ll be received by happy faces that will usher you into rooms decorated with embellishments from around the African continent. The rooms are clean, spacious, and made to allow comfort and adventure.

Do you prefer having a room that gives you an outside feel or one hundred percent enclosed? Then this is the place to be. Visitors can either opt for the Seven Houses or Cottages. The houses include the nut house, honeymoon house, the dog house, and the garden house. They are all made differently, each having a unique view and feel. For instance, the honeymoon house offers room for candle night dinner on a balcony overlooking the river. On the other hand, the cottages pave the way for guests that prefer enclosed spaces and experience the roaring night from an enclosed location.
