A quiet escape on the edge of the Batoka Gorge
Taita Falcon Lodge sits on the rim of the Batoka Gorge, 230 metres above the Zambezi River — just 11km from Victoria Falls. It's close enough for an easy day trip to the Falls and every activity around it, yet far enough into the bush that you'll trade the crowds for open sky, gorge views, and the sound of the river below.
Run by resident managers Eric and Cindy, Taita Falcon is built for personal service — the kind of place where the team know your name within an hour of arriving. It's for travellers who want the thrill of Victoria Falls without the busyness that comes with it.
"Amazing! Top moment was walking into the room and seeing the view and taking a bath at night with a view of the stars. Views from everywhere in the camp were amazing. Everything was perfect!"
- Mr & Mrs Bistricer, USA, Aug 2026
Things to do at Taita: From Adrenaline to Downtime
There's no fixed itinerary at Taita Falcon.
Spend the day at the pool with a book and a cold drink overlooking the gorge, or use us as a base for the full range of Victoria Falls activities — white-water rafting, bungee jumping, gorge swinging, microlighting, game drives, and sunset cruises on the Zambezi are all a short drive away. You decide the pace; we'll help you plan the day
"It was actually one of the best trips we have ever had in Zambia! The location is amazing. The team went out of their way to make sure our experience was top notch. Overall rating 11/10!"
- Anisha Purang, April 2026
Exclusive to Taita: The Sukulu Reserve Rhino Experience
The Sukulu Reserve Rhino Experience is a half-day excursion that pairs well with any stay at Taita, and a highlight for guests who want to get close to Africa's wildlife on foot. Once degraded land, the private reserve has been restored over the past decade into a thriving sanctuary for rhino, buffalo, sable antelope, black lechwe, impala, and puku.
The day includes a game drive through the savanna, a picnic lunch at the dam, and a guided walking safari tracking rhino and buffalo — culminating in close-range rhino feeding, sundowners over the bush, and conservation talks on anti-poaching and breeding programmes. You'll depart Taita at 10:00 and return by 19:00, in time for dinner.
When to visit & How to find us
Victoria Falls has three distinct seasons: peak flow from April to August, when the Falls are at their fullest and best seen from the air; low water from September to December, when Devil's Pool opens for swimming at the Falls' edge; and the quieter, lusher green season from November to March.
Taita Falcon Lodge is about a 45-minute drive from Livingstone, with the final 11km on a dirt road — a high-clearance vehicle is recommended. Fly directly into Livingstone Airport, or into Victoria Falls Airport in Zimbabwe with an added border transfer.
