Tongabezi Lodge

About Tongabezi Lodge

Tongabezi Lodge gives you a stay near Victoria Falls that feels calmer, more intimate, and more personal than the usual base in this part of Zambia. Resting on the banks of the Zambezi River upstream from the falls, it works especially well if you want easy access to the area while staying somewhere that still feels quiet and removed. The river setting adds a lot to the experience, and the whole place has the kind of atmosphere that makes the stay feel special in its own right. 

When to visit

Jun. to Oct. is the strongest overall window for dry weather, clearer views, and effortless river-based stays near Victoria Falls.

Most popular: June - August

Spring · Sep, Oct, Nov

Spring, from Sep. to Nov., is hot, dry, and increasingly dramatic along the Zambezi, with strong sunshine and a more exposed river landscape. September and October are especially atmospheric for classic dry-season romance, while November begins the shift toward greener scenery and rising humidity.

Summer · Dec, Jan, Feb

Summer, from Dec. to Feb., is the wet season, bringing lush greenery, fuller river scenery, and a softer tropical feel around the lodge. It is beautiful and atmospheric, but rainfall and humidity are higher, making it less reliable for travellers focused on consistently dry touring.

Autumn · Mar, Apr, May

Autumn, from Mar. to May., is a transitional season when the rains ease and the landscape stays fresh, vivid, and photogenic. River levels and scenery feel rich and dramatic, while late autumn becomes increasingly comfortable for couples and leisure travellers seeking a quieter stay.

Winter · Jun, Jul, Aug

Winter, from Jun. to Aug., is one of the best times to experience Tongabezi Lodge, with cooler mornings, almost no rain, and polished conditions for river cruises, falls visits, and relaxed time by the water. The weather is easier, the skies are clearer, and the whole Zambezi setting feels especially refined.

Location

Getting There

From central Livingstone, drive toward the Zambezi riverfront upstream from Victoria Falls, where Tongabezi Lodge sits about 15 kilometres from the falls area. If you are arriving by air, Harry Mwanga Nkumbula International Airport is the nearest gateway, with the final road transfer taking around 25 to 40 minutes depending on the route.
