Old Drift Lodge

A high-end lodge just upriver from the iconic Victoria Falls

Old Drift Lodge

Old Drift Lodge offers an exceptional luxury safari experience just upstream from the iconic Victoria Falls on the banks of the Zambezi River. 

The stylish lodge boasts 360-degree views, with the mighty Zambezi on one side and a bustling waterhole, frequented by elephants, buffalo and herds of sable, on the other. 14 tented suites with glass sliding doors and private verandahs are dotted along the water’s edge to take full advantage of the natural beauty of the area. There are 4 spacious family suites which feature private plunge pools, indoor and outdoor showers, and separate entrances, ensuring that parents and children can both enjoy their own spaces.

Activities are tailored to immerse families in the natural beauty and diverse wildlife of the area. Embark on thrilling game drives through the Zambezi National Park to spot elephants, lions, and the occasional cheetah, or take to the water on a serene boat safari, perfect for all ages. For active explorers, guided walking safaris along the river offer a closer look at the park’s flora and fauna, while a tour of the majestic Victoria Falls, only 7 km upriver, adds an unforgettable highlight to any luxury family safari.

After a day of adventure, unwind at the lodge’s tranquil waterhole or spend a night stargazing in one of the camp’s elevated star beds.

With its blend of authentic safari experiences and luxurious touches, Old Drift Lodge is an ideal destination for families seeking an exclusive safari holiday with a sense of adventure.
