Lock in a great price for The River Club – rated 9.5 by recent guests!

to get started.

Situated directly at the river bank, one has an amazing view. Evening sunset cruises are great.

Steffen, Germany

The Riverclub is beyond spectacular from the moment Paul picked us up to meeting Faith at the boat which took us on the Zambezi river where we were greeted by the most amazing view of the Lodge to meeting all the amazing staff including the Vibrant GM Jonathan to Charmaine the co-ordinator and her very talkative dog Thug. This lodge was truly one of the most wonderful places we have every visited. The sunset river cruise was breathtaking and watching the African sunset on the boat was something we will never forget. We would suggest that you do the walking safari recommended by Charmaine. Thank you Peter, Jonathan, Charmaine, Paul and the wonderful staff at the Riverclub, we are looking forward to coming back.

Tishah, Canada

The welcoming upon arrival is amazing, the sunset boat trip was great very well organized, the food was ok I expected better, amazing view from the private balcony, comfy bed, they manage to arrange for me a private tour to the devil's pool, great transportation services by boat and by car.

Mohammed, Qatar

Loved the exceptional view and fabulous suite. The balcony overlooking the river was amazing. Food and service staff were also fabulous and we dined in a different setting each night. Gluten free catering was delicious. Highly recommended.

Helen, Australia

The Reef Club far exceeded my expectations on all levels: I was warmly welcomed on arrival and, from then on, the Staff were friendly & attentive yet most professional & gave me a wonderful experience over 4 days.I only wish I had been able to stay longer. The best accommodation I have experienced in Africa!
