The River Club

The River Club sits high on the banks of the Zambezi River with expansive views upstream and across to Zimbabwe. Owned and run by the charismatic and knowledgeable Peter Jones, it is conceived around a renovated 1940s' farmhouse which now forms The River Club's main area, and has a distinctly colonial feel to it. Despite being open for a decade and a half, The River Club gives a sense of stepping back in time to life in the heyday of Livingstone Town.

Our view of The River Club

The River Club is a fantastic base for two or three nights to explore the Falls and the area around Livingstone. Easily accessible from both Livingstone Airport and the Botswana border, it's situated far enough from town to be secluded but close enough to visit the Falls as often as you like. The elevated views of the Zambezi from The River Club's main area are unrivalled along the river and the plunge pool here must have one of the most picturesque settings in Africa.

So, if old-world luxury, great food, a wide variety of activities and a relaxed atmosphere are what you're looking for, we'd certainly recommend The River Club.
