Why We Love it and You Will Too
- There's no need to venture far from this lodge to see the wildlife. The main lodge area at Old Drift Lodge offers a 360-degree view over the Zambezi River and a well-visited waterhole.
- Staying at Old Drift Lodge means that you're only just 7 km upstream of "The Smoke that Thunders", making it the closest lodge to the Victoria Falls within Zambezi National Park.
- Don't miss a sunset safari cruise along the Zambezi river. You might be lucky enough to watch a herd of elephant swimming across to Zambia!
- Need a rest after your game viewing adventures? A selection of spa treatments are available upon request and delivered by a professional beauty therapist in the privacy of your suite.
- Take a day to enjoy Old Drift Lodge's facilities. Relax, take a plunge in your private pool and lounge on the deck to take in the views right up until sunset.
Your Victoria Falls Safari Experience
Old Drift Lodge is a top-notch option for those seeking hassle-free luxury accommodation during their Africa trip to Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe. The main draw, however, is its location, right on the banks of the Zambezi River, and only a mere seven kilometres from the mighty Victoria Falls.
Expect a treasure trove of bucket list experiences right on your doorstep. Feel the spray from the "smoke that thunders", cruise down the Zambezi at sunset and amble out on 4x4 game drives into a wild paradise frequented by elephant, buffalo, sable, eland, zebra, giraffe, kudu, waterbuck and impala.
Old Drift Lodge is a family-friendly Victoria Falls lodge featuring four family suites with all the trimmings your brood could ever need. This Victoria Falls lodge is not just for families and many types of travellers have passed through the doors over the years. The canvas suites are a big draw; stylish and superbly fitted with chic décor, and modern amenities. Each is ultra-comfortable and incredibly spacious, but it's the full-circle views that will take your breath away. You could easily spend an afternoon gazing across the river, right from your very own balcony.
We also love that this Victoria Falls lodge makes an effort when it comes to sustainability. They recycle greywater and use solar water heating systems to run the lodge. Surprisingly enough, even their WiFi is pretty amazing...
