"Waterberry Zambezi Lodge review"
The sunset cruise was a wonderful way to start our holiday. Pacal was a great driver/guide and looked after us on our visit to the falls. He adapted our visit to ensure we saw everything we wanted.
The food was excellent and we really appreciated the electric blankets and braziers during the cool evenings.
The setting of the lodge is stunning and very peaceful." See all these reviews: 12n in Zambia

"Waterberry Zambezi Lodge review"
Location of my chalet right on the high flowing Zambesi River added to the experience. Excellent boat safari and guiding where I was allocated my own guide on 2 occasions (and I don't think that was because they were concerned about my behaviour with the other guests). Food was delicious and fresh and it was easy to meet other guests.
Livingstone is a clean, vibrant town with the Falls nearby. Waterberry was at just the right distance from the hustle with trips to the Falls about 40 minutes away. Its location gives a real feel of the might and power of the River above the Falls." See all these reviews: 14n in Zambia
"Waterberry Zambezi Lodge review"
We were upgraded to their River Farmhouse, which is a 5-bedroom private house located a couple hundred meters away from the main lodge. It has its own pool and view of the Zambezi River. We also had a dedicated butler/waiter and chef who were with us during the day. Meals were high quality and food was always fresh. We were absolutely spoiled.
We had 2 activities per day at the lodge. Other than visiting the falls on foot and taking a helicopter ride, we spent our time on the Upper Zambezi River. We went fishing and each of us caught our own tigerfish! It was also a good way to get accustomed to the southern Africa wildlife, particularly birds, as directly opposite the lodge was Zambezi National Park in Zimbabwe. Overall, this was a much needed retreat." See all these reviews: 10n in Zambia

"Pretty much perfect"
"Lovely stay at Waterberry Zambezi Lodge"
I was only there for one night but had very pleasant sunset and sunrise boat cruises. The food was excellent. And I was lucky to see 6 rhinos crossing the main road in front of the vehicle during the transfer to the airport." See all these reviews: 11n in Zambia; 9n in Botswana; 1n in South Africa
"Relaxing with lots to do"
The visit to the village / local school gave us a real insight into Zambia and was well worth doing. Victoria Falls was amazing and we opted to visit Livingstone Island and swim to Devils Island - slightly terrifying, but we were in safe hands and so glad we did it. This was followed by a visit to the local market and the Livingstone Museum. The museum was ok but think we had probably had a long enough day, so perhaps with hindsight should have skipped it.
Waterberry Lodge was very peaceful and quiet - the chance to just sit and relax was welcome. Staff cery attentive, food was first class and room very comfortable overlooking the mighty Zambezi! Thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would recommend this place as a serene, calming end to what was a brilliant holiday." See all these reviews: 14n in Zambia
