Accommodation

Livingstone

A little woodland camp, where impala and bushbuck graze and birds drink at the waterholes. This is a wild space where you sit around the evening fire listening to the sounds of nature.   And you don’t leave your tent at night in case you inadvertently meet Mr Hippo grazing your personal lawn - you just wake up in the morning and look out and think was he really so close?.  Imagine!

We are privileged to have wild woodlands where an abundant supply of water attracts birds and small mammals.  Impala and bushbuck graze here, and a wide variety of birds find safety for feeding, drinking, nesting.

We created The Woodlands for birders who want peace and quiet to sit among the trees and observe, but it’s proved so popular that we have opened it to those wanting that special wilderness feeling without sacrificing comfort and luxury.

Guests have the service of a butler/groundsman/guard 24/7.  Breakfast is served on the Woodlands lounge veranda where you can also keep cool in the heat of the day, invite friends made at the lodge for a surprise drink, or just sit and watch the birds go by.   

​The Waterberry restaurant, sun decks and swimming pool, all used by Woodlanders, are a short walk down sandy paths.

Our  tents are hugely popular with guests loving the wild experience, but also loving the luxury furnishings, the fully fitted dressing rooms and en suite bathrooms and the private verandas surrounded by individual gardens.

​Tents are double or twin, with seating inside and out and plenty of storage for

clothes and luggage.  This super little hideaway is perfect for relaxing and is also available for exclusive use.

The David Livingstone Safari Lodge & Spa is located on the Zambezi River banks with stunning views of the Mosi-Oa-Tunya National Park. This was the same view that fascinated David Livingstone, the courageous explorer and missionary who was the first European to witness the Victoria Falls.

The elegant spa features treatment rooms for individuals as well as couples, where you can indulge in a remarkable experience of receiving restorative treatments by our skilled spa therapists, and the ideal way to end your day.

Not forgetting, of course, that you definitely need spoiling after all that hard work on safari!

"Tsowa" means ‘new beginnings’, which is what you will find on this pristine island in the middle of the mighty Zambezi River. A surreal place, the whispers of this majestic river are broken only by occasional calls of the African fish eagle. In a camp fringed by a beautiful forest, a soft path leads to a cluster of century old baobabs. This is our safari island Tsowa, sensitively situated within the Zambezi National Park.
