Old Drift Lodge

Old Drift Lodge stands within Zambezi National Park, surrounded by 56,000 hectares of untouched natural beauty. The lodge overlooks the mighty Zambezi River and is just upstream from Victoria Falls – one of the seven wonders of the world and the largest waterfall. Travellers can enjoy the stunning panoramic views from the lodge’s main deck which can be accessed via a wooden pathway, with elegant handrails and lit with the gentle glow of a dozen lanterns. Snuggle up around the fire pit at the cosy outdoor seating area, and enjoy the sounds of nearby wildlife as hippos snort and grunt from the river.
Old Drift Lodge blends into the natural environment, with its neutral colours and natural materials, meaning that it neither takes away from the exquisite landscape, nor does it disrupt the local wildlife. Set in the heart of the Zambezi National Park, guests staying at the lodge can expect to see an abundance of amazing creatures wander past including elephants, zebras, waterbuck, buffalo, lions, impala and hippos. Explore the floodplains, grasslands and riverbanks with a variety of activities including game drives, river safaris and guided walks, and learn about the African wilderness and the life that thrives within it.

The Elephant Camp

The Elephant Camp rests within a private concession, offering stunning views of the rainbow spray from Victoria Falls from its location between the Masuwe River and the Zambezi gorges. The main deck overlooks the cavernous Batoka Gorge, with the ‘Smoke That Thunders’ resting lightly on the horizon.

Located just twenty minutes from the world’s largest waterfall, The Elephant Camp allows guests to enjoy both the fascinating wildlife of the African bush, the tranquillity of the Zambezi’s vast floodplains, and the unique and exciting Victoria Falls.

The Lodge provides guests with an authentic safari experience within a luxurious space, with a sunken fire pit, boma dining area, and private plunge pools. Guests can engage with nature and even visit the elephants at the Elephant Sanctuary and Orphanage and meet the elephants who are currently rehabilitating and being cared for before their release back into the wild.

The Elephant Camp West

The Elephant Camp West is both a stand-alone safari camp, and an extension of the main Elephant Camp, which is designed to cater for smaller groups and families. The camp consists of just four luxury tented suites, all of which have their own private deck and plunge pools that are positioned perfectly on a ridge that overlooks the Smoke that Thunders – the perpetual mist that hangs over the Victoria Falls Rainforest – and offering panoramic views of the wilderness and Zambezi Gorges.

Located just twenty minutes from the world’s largest waterfall, The Elephant Camp West allows guests to enjoy both the fascinating wildlife of the African bush, the tranquillity of the Zambezi’s vast floodplains, and the unique and exciting Victoria Falls. The camp features a comfortable yet elegant lounge area with a bar where guests can take in the extraordinary sweeping views of the concession.

The Elephant Camp West is an eco-conscious camp, and during its construction, bush clearing was kept to a minimum to reduce the impact on the environment and surrounding landscape. Guests can also engage with nature and visit the elephants at the Elephant Sanctuary and Orphanage and meet the elephants who are currently rehabilitating and being cared for before their release back into the wild.
