We have much to celebrate this coming year!

Year End, New Beginnings

Posted on Thu December 8, 2022.

What better way to bid farewell to the past year and welcome in 2023 - and all the exciting adventures that await - than with a new brand identity?

With 25 years in our beautiful location, The River Club provides an oasis of tranquility and a haven of comfort for our guests. We offer a truly authentic local experience within the context of Zambia and the natural heritage of the Zambezi River and Victoria Falls.

A Warm Welcome

As we move into early summer in the southern hemisphere, we welcome some great new developments, both at the lodge as well as in Zambia!

We are excited to welcome Mark and Belina to our management team, as well as the news that Zambia has dropped visa requirements for many of our key source markets.

We look forward to welcoming you to Zambia for your next safari destination.

Elegant

Elegant inn from days gone by. Wish we could have stayed more than one night. Lots of historical pictures and books that I would've liked to read but not enough time. Very romantic cottages with amazing views of the Zambezi River. I would definitely stay there again.

Family Safari Wind Down

The most in incredible location sitting high over a bend on the Zambezi river this has to be my favourite view on our recent trip to Botswana and Zambia. Arriving by speedboat, this was a perfect place to wind down after 6 days safari with stunning accommodation and the food is absolutely exceptional. Every lunch and dinner, was in a slightly different place to experience a different view. One... Read More
Absolutely Amazing

Absolutely amazing. Our experience at The River Club was nothing short of superlative! The location is breathtaking. The lodge and rooms were incredible, spacious and comfortable. The food was better than many Michelin-starred restaurants. And the management and staff were impeccably gracious and welcoming throughout our stay. I cannot imagine giving this place less than 5 stars — and would give it 6 stars if I could!

Wonderful location, amazing people, and certainly one of the best holidays we’ve had!

The location is absolutely superb, our villa was situated just over the bank of the Zambezi river and the views were stellar. The club staff were friendly, attentive, and very helpful with any request or question we had - from helping us arrange excursions to planning out the finer details - everything was taken care of and we had absolutely nothing to worry about besides enjoying our stay to...

Magical Place

We had the privilege to stay 12 nights in this magic place. Every where you have breath taking views on the Zambezi. On the sunset cruise we saw hippo’s , crocodiles, monkey’s and a lot of birth life while enjoying a good glass of wine. The food is exquisite. Due to some private problems we stayed longer than planned. Looking back this was the best that could happen to... Read More
