Zambezi National Park Lodge

Victoria Falls (town)


These wonderful two-bedroom cottages are right in the national park spread on the Zambezi river. You'll need to bring your own food, but all come with fridges, full kitchen, couches, TV, bathtubs and even air-con. There's an outdoor barbecue area if that all sounds too plush. Further into the park are basic bush campsites (firewood US$5), but with no water or ablutions.

You'll be surrounded by an assortment of wild animals, so don't walk around at night – and absolutely no swimming in the river. For those staying in the chalets, be sure to keep doors shut to prevent marauding monkeys.
