Songwe Village

Songwe Village is located on 300 acres of private land adjoining the world heritage site downstream from the Victoria Falls. Songwe Village is on the Zambia side of the Zambezi River and is perched 300 feet above the rugged Batoka gorge. Songwe Village is built to resemble a traditional village and the atmosphere is just as peaceful and relaxed. There are 8 guest huts in an oval pattern, each named after past chiefs of the local Mukuni people.

The thatched huts are spacious with tasteful traditional furniture and modern comfortable mattresses. Each hut has a flush toilet and basin en-suite. The showers and baths are set on the edge of the Batoka gorge so have stunning views.

Activities offered include guided visits to the Victoria Falls, visits to a traditonal Tokaleya village, cruises on the upper Zambezi River, game safaris, walking, canoeing and fishing.

NB: Sadly, Songwe Village suffered a serious fire in September 2008 and sales have been suspended whilst the property is re-built.
