The River Club (Livingstone) Zambia
Location:
The River Club is situated on the Zambian side of the Zambezi River, 18 kilometers upstream from Victoria Falls. It faces westward into the sunset and onto the Zambezi National Park on the opposite side of the river.
The River Club is set among the lush riverine vegetation and the camp has a distinct Edwardian flavor. Guests here can enjoy the sights and sounds of Victoria Falls and the Zambezi River in a peaceful and tranquil setting away from the crowds.
Accommodation:
Ten luxury thatched chalets accommodate a maximum of 20 people. The rooms overlook the Zambezi River, and have en suite facilities including a bath, shower, toilet and basin. Two honeymoon suites are available. All the rooms have fans.
The main house comprises the dining room, lounge and pub area, and has an interesting library. The swimming pool has a magnificent view over the river for those who wish to relax in the sun.
Guests may stay here either under an all-inclusive rate, or on a dinner, bed and breakfast basis.
Facilities:
The main colonial style lodge building houses the dining room, drawing room, reception, library and shop, as well as the kitchens.
Meals are served at the main dining table or at small tables on the veranda, if requested. Dinner dress is smart casual. The library is well stocked and also houses bridge tables, cards and backgammon.
The lodge is powered by 220v mains electricity. There are power points in the rooms for the use of electric shavers and hair dryers and the charging of video batteries.
Although The River Club is not a game lodge, the Zambezi National Park is located just across the river, and Lion calls can often be heard at night.
Rich birdlife is found in the area. Hippo are regularly sighted (and heard) along the river's edge. Fishing is good, with Tiger fishing featuring prominently in the warmer months. Birding in and around the lodge is superb.

The Victoria falls is one of the seven "Wonders of the World" and is arguably the greatest waterfall anywhere. Daily excursions to the Falls are a highlight and boating trips to the Zambezi River's islands provide wonderful activities.
