Tongabezi Lodge, Zambia

Welcome To
Tongabezi

This award winning eco-lodge in Zambia leans into the tranquillity of its hidden location on the banks of the Zambezi River.

Combine romance and luxury with a hint of adventure as you relax just 12km upstream of Victoria Falls. Our joyous team welcome guests to a selection of Houses and Cottages, each embellished with interiors lovingly chosen from around Africa. Immerse yourself in nature and experience unique dining and river activities.

Conde Nast may have called Tongabezi one of the top 20 Hotels in the World, but would you believe we started out as tents with bucket showers?

I could live here
for years

Thank you for the most enjoyable stay. This is an amazing spot, we have travelled a lot and this is one of the best. Not only is Africa beautiful but the surroundings and people at Tongabezi are the perfect representation of this land.

Tranquil, breath-taking
& relaxing lodge on
the edge of the Zambezi

The staff is surely the lodge’s biggest asset! We were a group of 6 ladies, who thoroughly enjoyed the lodge. A visit to the school is a must, what Green Safaris do for the community is clearly visible, and that is what Green Safaris is all about - community.

What Is Tongabezi Best For?

Romance

In the early 1990’s, the New York Times called Tongabezi, “a place worth getting married for”’. We’ve been perfecting the art of making you swoon for over thirty years.
Private Travel

There is no need to share your luxury Zambian safari with anyone but friends and family when you stay at Tangala Private House or in one of our family-sized rooms. You can even book private guides, game drives, and river cruises.
Family Travel

Tongabezi was created by a family and has grown into an even bigger one. Our team are expert childminders, we are always happy to tailor our menu to little taste buds, and the river is an endless source of activities.
Solo Travel

Tongabezi is a short drive from Victoria Falls and nestled on the most tranquil stretch of the Zambezi. Whether you travel solo to experience culture, community, and adventure, or to spend time quietly in nature, we have you covered.
