The
River Club is situated on the Zambian side of the
Zambezi River, 18 kilometres upstream from Victoria
Falls. The camp has a distinct Edwardian flavour,
and guests here enjoy the sights and sounds of Victoria
Falls and the Zambezi River in a peaceful and tranquil
setting away from the crowds.
Ten
luxury, thatched chalets overlook the Zambezi River,
and have en-suite facilities including a bath, shower,
toilet and basin. All the rooms have fans. The rooms
are all completely open in the front giving guests
the best possible views of the Zambezi. The main building
also has an interesting library.
The
Victoria Falls are one of the 7 Natural Wonders of
the World and is arguably the greatest waterfall in
the world. Daily trips to the Falls are a highlight.
Boating to the Zambezi River's islands provides relaxed
afternoon activities, and fishing and sundowner trips
are offered.
The
Zambezi National Park is located just across the river,
and elephants can be seen on the river bank. A rich
bird life is found in the area. Hippos are regularly
sighted (and heard) along the river's edge.
