Sited on the edge of the Zambezi River, 30 mins drive from Victoria Falls on the Zambian side, Waterberry Lodge offers a simple but comfortable retreat in lovely quiet gardens surrounded by trees.

The Lodge has just 7 rooms, including a honeymoon suite, all having private viewing decks. Some look over the river and others a small lagoon or the garden. The rooms are chalet-style made of stone and thatch, with mosquito nets over the beds. All are en-suite. There is a decent-sized swimming pool and lovely bar area with views over the water. Dining is al fresco whenever the weather allows, but otherwise there is a small open dining room.

There is also the River Farmhouse and The Woodlands for alternative options in the same location.

Two activities a day are included such as a visit to Victoria Falls or a sunset cruise (see In Details for the list). Other adventure activities and excursions (such as whitewater rafting) in the area are available but must be separately booked when you are there.

Cultural visits to the nearby village and school can be arranged and local people are involved here, both being employed by the lodge and supplying materials and groceries.

We find that Waterberry offers and good standard of accommodation for a reasonable price, and with welcoming hosts who make sure that their guests enjoy their stay.
