Stay at The River Club

The River Club is a charming oasis, located on an magnificent vantage point that provides stunning views of the Zambezi River. Privately owned and managed, this boutique lodge is situated 18 kilometers upstream from the renowned Victoria Falls; a World Heritage Site. Overlooking the river and pods of hippo into the Zambezi National Park, the luxury

chalets are renowned for their spectacular views. Steeped in history, ranging from the establishment of Livingstone as a settler trading post, to a gateway for displaced people after World War II, and more recently a destination for Royal travellers and Hollywood stars.

The team at True Travel had a simple brief: to send us on the world’s best family safari. As soon as our boat headed down the Zambezi, it all kicked off; we passed a herd of hippos, a lazy crocodile and a giraffe drinking nonchalantly on the riverbank. A magical experience from beginning to end. Nothing was too much trouble and if we had any issue that needed resolving, there was always someone on hand to do this. Before and after, they were off the charts – simply an awesome team.
