Overview
Enjoy the serenity and the magnificent scenery in an adventure-filled visit to the Zimbabwean side of the Victoria Falls, an hour away from the Matetsti River Lodge that is set on a private game reserve stretching along the Zambezi River’s bank and is ideal for tourists seeking an exclusive vacation.
The 50 000 hectares large reserve stretches along the Zambezi River having 15 kilometers of private river frontage and provides a traditional safari experience with modern comfort. Relish yourself in the appeal of the natural yet modern air-conditioned suites that are ornamented with furnishing that reflects contemporary African design, the copper finishes juxtaposing with the brown of the wood. The two large interconnecting suites are ideal for family getaways.
Get close and intimate with wildlife as you get to spot birds like falcons and warblers near the flowing river from the viewing deck and get to encounter buffaloes, roans, sable antelopes, elephants, lions, leopards, African wild dogs and spotted hyenas when the Game drives take you into the wilderness. The game reserve also offers other activities like river cruises, nature walks, fishing and canoeing.
After an exhausting day outdoors, rejuvenate yourself with high tea and a relaxing massage.
