Overview
Exclusive use on the Zambezi
Separate to the main Victoria Falls River Lodge, but situated on the same property, the Riverside Villa is perfect for multi-generational families, friends, smaller groups and even couples looking for a more private experience.
Tucked into the banks of the Zambezi River, the Riverside Villa is an ultra-luxurious home away from home, built to blend seamlessly into the surrounding natural landscape and boasts supreme views of Hippo Creek and the spray from Victoria Falls on the horizon.
The Villa is built on a raised platform with private decks and plunge pools overlooking the Zambezi River. Inside are two king suites and one family suite, each offering a host of indulgent amenities and accommodating up to six adults and two children. The suites feature an open-plan bathroom with a free-standing indoor bath and indoor/outdoor showers. Perfectly suited for an exclusive group experience, the Riverside Villa boasts indoor private lounge and dining areas with a private butler and chef’s kitchen. In addition to sole use, the Villa can also be booked on a shared basis still offering private accommodation but with shared use of the Villa's private dining and lounge facilities.
