The River Club

A haven of peace at the edge of the glorious Zambezi River just 18km upstream from the famous Victoria Falls, The River Club is the ideal place to conclude a wildlife safari holiday. All 11 spacious, romantic suites at this luxurious property face west for views of iconic sunsets, whilst their names reflect people who have played a role in Zambia’s history. No two rooms are the same in layout or decor, but all share very high levels of luxury, with features such as elegant teak furniture, free standing claw-footed tubs and huge canopied beds draped in romantic mosquito netting.

Families with children are particularly well catered for at The River Club, with two bedroom suites available and a great kids’ program suitable for age 6 and over. Things that little ones can do include raft building and cooking lessons so parents can completely unwind, enjoying adult-oriented activities such as spa treatments, fishing and perhaps even a romantic dinner aboard the Royal Livingstone Express Steam Train.

The River Club’s 50 secure acres encompass lush manicured gardens, a magnificent infinity pool, an all-weather tennis court and croquet lawn. Should you wish to stretch your legs, a 2km trail runs through the property. Otherwise a huge range of activities are available offsite, from a tour of the World Heritage Site – Victoria Falls, a scenic flight by microlight or helicopter over the region, game drives in neighbouring national parks or even white-water rafting on the Zambezi.
