Enjoy scenes from the lodge’s viewing deck of feisty territorial male hippos jostling for space, and the cows usher their calves to the sandbanks to keep them away from the brawl breaking out. Venture on a late afternoon drive and watch the nocturnal animals slink out from beneath the undergrowth where they’ve been shielded from the sun, and drive alongside hyena clans trotting along the road on the hunt for their next meal. As the sun sets on the plains, sit and watch a herd of impala group together, the only source of light they have coming from the half moon, illuminating them in a faint glow. The distant silhouette of a leopard is caught in the moon’s halo while she gently, skillfully, and stealthily moves toward them. Crickets chirp and the night jar calls to interrupt the deadly silence as the ultimate night hunter stalks her prey. At Royal, you are guaranteed an adventure of a lifetime! We don’t just explore the bush by game drive, you can opt for a slower-paced delve into nature by foot with expert guides, or choose to traverse the mighty Zambezi by canoe or if that’s too close proximity to the hippos and crocs, there’s the option of a boat river cruise. The options are endless and are tailor-made to accommodate your (and that of your families) experience at Royal Zambezi.
