Very few places on earth offer the absolute freedom and untouched wilderness as the National Parks of Zambia in Southern Africa. Lower Zambezi, the first carbon-neutral National Park in the world, provides a platform for unforgettable, unspoiled wildlife experiences on the banks of the mighty Zambezi River. This piece of Africa combines a diversity of natural wonders, creating a wildlife-rich landscape between the backdrop of the Zambezi escarpment and one of the world’s most intriguing rivers. This incredible phenomenon forms a natural wildlife corridor – boasting a profusion of wildlife and sanctuary sculpted by Mother Nature herself. Royal Zambezi Lodge offers the discerning traveller a front-row seat to these unique wilderness experiences, all the while welcoming you ‘home’ to our luxury tented and thatched lodges overlooking the Zambezi River. Your stay with us will leave you with an indelible desire and love for Africa, yearning for your return to a place that has stolen a piece of your heart.
