Discover another side to one of Africa’s mightiest rivers
The spectacle is breath-taking, the crashing of water pouring over the precipice is deafening, the sight mesmerising. But the mighty Zambezi also has another side.
Of course, you have to visit the world-renowned Victoria Falls on your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Zambia – it is one of the must-see sights for any world traveller. And Waterberry Zambezi Lodge is just a short drive from the falls; close to the interesting town of Livingston. But once you’ve wondered at the massive power of nature, once you’ve exhausted your camera’s memory on the spray rainbow, the fragile-looking bridge, the great cascades of plunging water it’s time to discover another side to one of Africa’s mightiest rivers.
From Waterberry you can cruise along the Zambezi, watching families of elephants drinking at the water’s edge. You can spot innumerable birds, fish for monsters on a floating pontoon or simply laze in the African sun, beside an elegant swimming pool.

Planning my first solo trip felt like a big step, but The Ultimate Travel Company made it easy from the outset. I reached out over a year in advance, and Rob Kent quickly put together a thoughtful itinerary based on exactly what I was looking for, securing great flights and always being available to talk things through. Everything ran smoothly and I felt looked after every step of the way. The accommodation in Japan, Fiji and Tahiti was excellent and the experiences unforgettable.
We had a wonderful safari experience in South Luangwa, Zambia this September. Despite a few unexpected setbacks behind the scenes, everything ran seamlessly for us. Our driver and guide were outstanding, and the standard of accommodation was truly first class.
