Taita Falcon Lodge, Victoria Falls

Taita Falcon Lodge is stunningly perched 230m above the Zambezi River on the edge of the Batoka Gorge with a stunning view over the gorge and the river. The Lodge is only 11km from the Victoria Falls, and is a unique bush experience. Owner managed, the lodge’s focus is on providing personalized service to each individual client. Itis situated in a natural bush environment, with each chalet secluded amongst the native flora. The gardens around the Lodge and chalets are a colorful blend of indigenous plants, with paths weaving from the chalets to the pool, restaurant and bar areas. Bird life is abundant around the Lodge grounds, with resident Vereaux (Black) Eagles, Peregrine Falcons, and the Taita Falcon from which the Lodge takes its name. A variety of other raptors and smaller birds are familiar to the Lodge and are commonly sighted. Each chalet is en-suite, with mosquito nets on all the beds. The chalets are open plan and constructed of reed and stone and they all have their own private garden with cold showers in the garden. We use mosquito coils in the rooms during summer and hot water bottles in the beds during the colder months. A range of safari and adventure activities are on offer to guests.
