After reading many other glowing reviews of the Royal Zambezi Lodge I can only agree with the enthusiastic reports of what a wonderful place it is to stay. There were so many once-in-a-lifetime experiences here that I couldn't help but worry that perhaps I'm using them up! Some of the highlights have to include; being awakened to the sight of... More

Was lucky enough to be chosen to accompany a friend who won a competition for 2. Flight to Royal on Proflight Zambia who offers a schedule is a quick 25 to 30 minute flight but there are a few charter companies should you need flexible timings. Arrived at the lodge which is close to the airport....so quick transfer..but don't worry... More

Royal Zambezi Lodge was the second stop on our honeymoon. The first place we had stayed had set the benchmark very high and Royal Zambezi did not disappoint! The views from the plane ride from Lusaka to Royal are breathtaking - a perfect introduction to the Zambezi! The lodge is simply stunning, as was our chalet; we stayed in a... More

Simply the best holiday we have ever had, delicious food, perfect service, great wildlife and beautifully thought out interior design. Couldn't fault anything at all! Really enjoyed having the choice of activities every day - safari, kayak, boat trip, walking safari, fishing, water lunch, night drive - it was all so well done. Knowledgable guides and friendly staff too. Thank... More

Any of the words I type can never do justice to the experience myself and my husband had at the Royal Zambezi Lodge. Our holiday consisted of day and night drives where we encountered lions, numerous elephants, leopard, buffalo, impala, warthogs, crocodiles, zebra, hippos, kudu, an abundance of bird species and many many other creatures. We were taken on an... More

The lodge gave you the choice of many different activities everyday. We fished, went on nature hike, went on a canoe trip, and a safari ride to name a few. The animal viewing was fantastic. The people at the lodge were very accommodating. The food was outstanding. The location on the river was beautiful.

After a 30 minute flight in a 6 seater plane from Lusaka & a 10 minute drive from the Royal airstrip, we arrived at this gracious riverside lodge to have breakfast on the decking watching a hippo eating his own meal 50 yards away on a broad river bank accompanied by baboons, warthogs & many birds. The riverside location with... More

The Royal team of staff could not be more helpful and friendly. Having been a number of... More

This was the most perfect place to start our honeymoon. From the moment we arrived at the private airstrip, and greeted by friendly guides nothing was too much trouble. Our lodge/tent was fabulous - we loved hanging out on the decking, with our own private plunge pool, day bed and outdoor bath/shower. It was the perfect place to relax, watching... More

A large group of Australian friends - new and old - flew in via Johannesburg via Lusaka where we took the lodge plane for the short flight to the Royal Zambezi. We were greeted by a wandering group of very large elephants and all the wonderful staff of the royal. 10 days of fishing, exploring, photography, eating, drinking, safaris and... More
