Twelve airy Tree Houses and two private Chuma Houses that sit among ebony and jackalberry trees on a sweeping bend of the Zambezi river, inside Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, about 12 km upstream from Victoria Falls. Days flow between river and park: twice-daily game drives, guided walks, rhino tracking, and sunset cruises, with Livingstone/Vic Falls excursions woven in seamlessly. Service is polished but unpretentious, dining is wherever the mood takes you, and the river soundtrack never stops.

Activities
Game drives, guided walks, sunset cruises, fishing, rhino experience, village/market visits, and Tour of the Falls (Zambia & Zimbabwe—one per person per stay).

Our Favorite Rooms

Expect a private deck, en-suite bath and shower, AC, and the soothing treetop canopy feel. For families or couples travelling together, a Chuma House adds two bedrooms, its own lounge/dining spaces and a private rhythm that suits longer stays while keeping all lodge activities at your doorstep

Dining

Flexible à la carte with indoor/outdoor venues, private deck set-ups and riverside spots, bush breakfasts, picnic lunches on Falls days and easy all-day tea/coffee/snacks keep things unhurried. (Dietaries handled with notice.)

Packing Tips

Soft-sided bag, neutral layers, light fleece for winter evenings on the river, river shoes, and spare cards for cameras/phones. If linking by light aircraft elsewhere in Southern Africa, plan for ~20 kg total soft luggage.

Insider Tips

Time Livingstone Island / Devil’s or Angel’s Pool for ~mid-Aug to Dec (water-level dependent). Ask to pair a rhino-tracking walk with a sunset cruise the same day, and reserve at least one private deck dinner after an afternoon at the Falls.
