The Wallow Lodge offers an intimate safari getaway on a private concession within Zimbabwe’s famed Victoria Falls National Park. Sixteen quaint, comfortable rooms are set under canvas to provide an authentic safari feel. The rooms line the meandering Masuwe River’s edge, offering panoramic views of the flowing water toppling over Batoka Gorge. Paired with the lush greenery of the surrounding jungle-like wilderness, guests are immersed in the serenity and beauty of nature.

You’ll be able to explore one of the world’s greatest phenomena from The Wallow. Victoria Falls is a diverse ecosystem abundant with flora and fauna. Cruises on the Zambezi River lead you to see hippos frolicking in the water, while tours through the rainforest get you up close to the birdlife and smaller mammals, as well as the groves of Date Palm, Fig, and Mahogany. And, of course, the game park offers the chance to see everything from the Big 5 to groups of zebra, giraffe, and eland from the comfort of a safari vehicle.

The more adventurous traveler will be thrilled to be in Africa’s adventure capital. The lodge’s ideal location in Victoria Falls National Park makes it easy to access the fun activities on offer. Explore one of the 7 Natural Wonders of the World from different perspectives, from white-water rafting on the Zambezi River to ziplining over the gorge of the waterfall.

Rooms

Tented Room

Sixteen luxury rooms, raised on wooden decks, line the Masuwe River’s edge, overlooking magnificent views of the Batoka Gorge and surrounding forestland. Nestled between a canopy of trees and the panoramic views of the flowing river create a sense of being enveloped by nature. When in your room, not only are you surrounded by every creature comfort you could ever need, but you’re overcome with a sense of peace that can only be brought on by being in the thick of the wilderness.

After a day of adventure, retire to the under-canvas room for a refreshing shower outdoors, further immersing yourself in the surroundings, before making a fresh cup of tea or coffee and relaxing on the private viewing deck to take in the picturesque views. Then, head back into your cool room and sink into the comfort of your bed, nodding off as the peaceful sounds of nature lull you to sleep.

Don’t forget to stop by the gift store to pick up a few curios to commemorate your African safari adventure. Then, as the day winds to a close, pick up your favorite drink at the well-stocked bar before gathering around the dancing flames of the firepit to share stories about your day.
