Old Drift Lodge

VICTORIA FALLS

Overview

Old Drift Lodge nestles on the banks of the Zambezi River, upstream from Victoria Falls. Overlooking the Zambezi National Park, it is surrounded by 56,000 hectares of untouched natural beauty and the many species of wildlife which inhabit the park.

Rooms

Old Drift Lodge has fourteen spacious tented suites set on raised wooden platforms and facing the river. Each has a lounge area, bedroom, large bathroom with indoor and outdoor showers and glass sliding doors that open onto the Zambezi River. Outside a deck extends the width of the room and features a plunge pool, seating area and, hidden away in corner, a bathtub overlooking the river. All have air-conditioning, ceiling fans and complimentary Wi-Fi.

Star beds have been added to three of the suites, with four-poster beds set on an elevated platform next to the suite, a popular choice with couples.

Families are also well-catered for as four of the sites have a second en-suite bedroom.

Facilities

The expansive main lodge area has a contemporary colonial feel. This open plan space has bar area, lounge and dining room areas, cleverly decorated to give a sense of calm. These areas all lead onto a deck that extends across the front of the building, with areas for dining, lounging and an outside firepit.

The lodge also has a pool and small spa offering treatments.

Old Drift Lodge offers guests an array of activities to explore all the area has to offer, whilst other highlights include sundowner cruises leaving directly from the lodge and game drives in the surrounding national park.

Our thoughts

" Old Drift Lodge combines a riverside location with the thrill of being in the National Park – wildlife often passes by, including elephants, buffalo, sable, eland, zebra and giraffe.

The romantic star bed suites are particularly popular with honeymooners – waking up as the sun rises over the Zambezi is a special experience. "

"The holiday was absolutely fantastic. Saw all the big 5 except rhinos.The accommodation was top class (lovely big beds), the people who staffed it were so friendly, guides were so knowledgeable, you really felt they wanted you to visit their country. We did a helicopter tour over Victoria falls, which were awe inspiring - another highlight of the holiday. All the transfers were smooth and efficient and this reduced any stress in the holiday, loved the small plane hops between camps in Botswana. We had an unforgettable holiday and will be boring our friends and family with it for months. Thanks for your help in organising this wonderful holiday. "

" We had a wonderful time! We loved the journey and whole experience on Rovos Rail from Pretoria to Vic Falls. We especially enjoyed Victoria Falls and the wildlife in the grounds of the hotel! We liked Mauritius alot. "

"We had a FABULOUS time. Even my husband, who was not keen on going, enjoyed the trip! We saw the Big 5 as well as many other animals. The vulture feeding at the Victoria Falls Safari Lodge was well worth watching. It is part of a foundation to keep these birds from becoming endangered. It was a great trip and my family loved it. Thank you so very much for all your help in making the trip a reality for us!!!"
