The River Club

The River Club is Livingstone’s Premier destination on the Zambezi River. It was voted in the Top 3 lodges in Zambia by Travel and Leisure Magazine in 2010 and in the Top 50 in Southern Africa. The lodge was Harpers and Queen’s "Most Luxurious Action Spot" 2003 in their list of 150 Greatest Escapes. It is a proud member of Wilderness Safaris and part of the ECO LUXURY group of lodges around the world.

This owner run lodge, located on an magnificent vantage point, provides stunning views over a sweeping bend on the river. Steeped in history ranging from the establishing of Livingstone as a settler trading post, as a destination for Royal travellers and Hollywood stars over the years to a venue for the most extraordinary sporting events in the past. Peter Jones and the members of The River Club and Wilderness Safaris are able to provide a superb destination for weddings and honeymoons amid the diverse and colourful area that surrounds The Victoria Falls.

Perhaps the most important point to remember is that The River Club is the place where there are no early 05:30 wake up calls, for here guests are encouraged to lie in and enjoy the surroundings. The ‘Do Nothing Activity’ (DNA) around one of the most magnificent pools in the world is very popular indeed, especially at the end of a safari.

There is no doubt that a few nights stay at The River Club will add a new dimension to anyone’s journey to Africa and have them planning their next trip before they have even left to go home.
