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.
