Tongabezi is a lovely lodge set on a sweeping bend in the Zambezi. It's long been one of the region's most romantic hideaways and its experienced team of staff maintain a smart, exclusive and distinctly Zambian feel. The food is first-class, served beside the river or on your private veranda. Then there's a thatched riverside bar, spacious lounge area and a rock swimming pool under a tumbling waterfall.
Tongabezi has five beautiful thatched 'cottages', all with large picture windows opening onto verandas beside the river. These are tastefully furnished and include an elegant en suite bathroom with a shower and a bath. A sixth 'garden cottage' has two linked bedrooms and a living room, surrounded by a private walled garden.
In addition, there are four spectacular individual 'houses' – stylish suites with open sides that face the river.
Tongabezi is often combined with it's sister-camp, Sindabezi, which stands on an island nearby in the middle of the Zambezi River – whilst families will make use of the nearby Tangala House.
