3 Day Waterberry Zambezi Lodge Safari
There’s so much to do at Waterberry Zambezi Lodge, whether you want to see the amazing Victoria Falls (everyone does!), or just stay put and enjoy our inclusive activities, or plan a program including special trips with our local activity partners. When you arrive your host will explain what’s available, and help you plan your stay to make sure you miss nothing but also have enough down time just to enjoy watching the river roll by.
Your stay includes: all meals, local brand drinks, 2 in-house activities per day, return transfers to Livingstone Airport, and laundry. In-house activities include a falls visit on Zimbabwe or Zambia side (excludes entrance fees and visa costs), river cruises, fishing, island picnics, guided birding, guided village walk, and guided tour of Livingstone town and local markets.
Arrival Day
On arrival at Waterberry Zambezi Lodge today you will be greeted by staff and shown to your cottage to get settled in. If your arrival time allows, you will head out on your first in-house activity this afternoon, otherwise relax at the lodge and take time to become familiar with your surrounds before enjoying a delicious dinner.
Dinner included.
Zambezi River Activities
Enjoy a full day on the Zambezi River, enjoying a variety of in-house activities. You can choose which of these activities you would like to include in your stay. Your host will discuss your program when you arrive, to make sure you get to do exactly what you want!
• Victoria Falls Tour: Walking the paths around The Falls is an unmatched, awe-inspiring experience. We think everyone should see the Falls from both the Zambian and Zimbabwean sides, because they are very different experiences. Entry fee: $20pp Zambia and $30pp Zimbabwe.
• Zambezi River Cruises: A sunset cruise, drifting down the Zambezi into the setting sun, camera in hand, with sundowners and snacks, is almost certain to be your first activity during your stay with us. You can also choose to get up early and experience dawn on the river as the mist rises and the birds awake. You will never forget this, we promise.
• Guided Birding: Our expert guides will take you around the Waterberry riverbank and woodland areas to see our amazing collection of birds. Keen birders can also visit Mosi O Tunya Park and even the Livingstone Sewage Ponds (something to make your friends jealous when you get home!).
• Village Walk: Our village guide lives in the community and will show you how rural Zambians lead their lives in this completely uncommercial setting. You're also guaranteed to be followed by curious children! You'll see our school and education areas and the community farm that are part funded by the village walks.
• Livingstone Town and Market Tour: Livingstone was the capital of Zambia at the beginning of the 20th century, and some fascinating architecture remains. In the Museum you can actually pull out and read David Livingstone’s handwritten letters. At Maramaba Market you will see where local Zambians shop for food, beautiful fabrics and literally everything!
• Island Picnic: Cruise to one of our local sandy islands for a champagne picnic, served by your personal butler, and an afternoon spent lazing, just watching the river go by and listening to the sounds of nature. When the river is high and the islands are submerged your picnic will be a lunchtime cruise. A perfect balance to the previous energetic day spent visiting the Falls.
Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner included.
