guest areas

Welcome Area, Dining & Lounge

One of our guest areas is comprised of classic architectural lines and lofty thatched roofs. Creating our open plan reception area, dining room and lounge, which offers a welcome refuge and a place to relax among comfortable sofas, enormous fireplaces, a well-stocked bookcase and most important of all our cheerful personalised service.

The spacious veranda provides shade from the midday sun and the wide timber decks, which extend over the shallows of the Zambezi, are perfect for fine dining under the endless starry skies, while you revel in the sounds of the African night.

The Infinity Pool

After a long day fishing or tracking wildlife, the mesmerising infinity pool which overlooks the river is the perfect place to relax and unwind. Chill out on the sun loungers with a long, cold drink or take a dip in the pool to cool down. If you are feeling active and want to burn off some of the delicious culinary treats provided by our chefs, there is a rowing machine for anyone to use.

The Bar

One of the guest areas you can truly unwind in is the remarkable Sausage Tree bar. It is situated downstream from the main building, on a deck suspended above the river, where a large Sausage Tree is the centrepiece of this favourite meeting place. As the sun sets behind the distant escarpment, guests can gather for drinks and aperitifs while enjoying lively exchanges about the day’s magical adventures, listen to the guides recount their stories of memorable encounters or just taking time to sit quietly and experience the marvel that is the sunset in the Lower Zambezi Valley with the soothing murmur of the water below.
