Old Drift Lodge

Old Drift Lodge boasts of its historical relevance as the original crossing point of the Zambezi River

The luxurious nature of the Old Drift Lodge is crafted not through overt opulence but with an understated sophistication that aligns seamlessly with its surroundings. While the lodge offers all modern comforts, it does so while ensuring guests remain intricately connected to the wilderness. Its slight distance from Victoria Falls works to its advantage, providing a haven of peace and tranquillity. Guests can retreat here after a day of exploration, away from the typical noise and rush associated with tourism hotspots.

Furthermore, the lodge’s geographical setting within the Zambezi National Park positions it as a primary choice for those keen to explore the wild. The park, with its diverse fauna and unique ecosystems, provides a myriad of experiences for the discerning traveler. Whether it’s observing the unique behaviors of nocturnal creatures, tracking elusive predators, or simply marveling at the rich birdlife, the lodge’s location ensures guests are surrounded by the region’s many attractions without the need to travel.
