The River Club

The River Club sits high on the banks of the Zambezi River with expansive views both upstream and towards the Victoria Falls, and across into Zimbabwe. It’s a small, smart lodge at which guests usually stay for 2-3 nights when visiting the Falls. Owned and run by the knowledgeable Peter Jones, the lodge is based around a renovated 1940s’ farmhouse which now forms The River Club’s main area, and has a distinctly colonial feel to it.

Our view of The River Club

The River Club is a very good base for exploring the Victoria Falls and the area in and around Livingstone. Easily accessible from both Livingstone Airport and Botswana’s border, it’s situated far enough from town to be secluded but close enough to visit the Falls as often as you like. The genteel colonial atmosphere won’t suite everyone, but if old-world luxury, good food, and a wide variety of activities are what you’re looking for, we’d recommend The River Club.
