ACCOMMODATION
Taita Falcon Lodge: The "Edge of the Earth" Experience
Perched 230 meters (750 feet) above the churning rapids of the Zambezi River, Taita Falcon Lodge is more than just a place to stay—it is a vantage point on the world. Located on the lip of the dramatic Batoka Gorge, just 11km downstream from Victoria Falls, this owner-run sanctuary offers a level of seclusion and "Bush Zen" that is impossible to find in the busy town center of Livingstone.
-
The "Flight of Angels": Being just 11km from the Falls, Taita is the perfect base for helicopter or microlight flights over Mosi-oa-Tunya.
-
Gorge Hikes: Follow ancient trails led by local guides down into the heart of the Batoka Gorge to feel the power of the river up close.
-
Adrenaline Central: For thrill-seekers, the lodge is minutes away from the Gorge Swing, bungee jumping, and world-class white-water rafting.
ACCOMMODATION OVERVIEW
Lumbe Pools: The "Open-Air" Riverside Chalets
The accommodation at Lumbe Pools is designed around a single philosophy: Total Immersion. These are not standard hotel rooms; they are designed to let the Zambezi breeze and the sound of the Lumbe rapids flow through your space.
- World-Class Tiger Fishing: Test your skills against the "Freshwater Water Wolf" in the 40km of pristine river exclusively accessible from our camp.
- Sioma Falls Day Trip: Often called "The Little Victoria Falls," Ngonye (Sioma) Falls offers an intimate, crowd-free waterfall experience where you can feel the spray in total solitude.
- Island Life: Enjoy "Beach Boule," sand-bank breakfasts, and sundowner cruises as the Zambezi turns to liquid gold.
Travel logistics and entry into Zambia
Access: Fly into Harry Mwanga Nkumbula International Airport (LVI) in Livingstone or Victoria Falls Airport. We can then meet you at the aiport and transport you to the lodge.
Visa Info: Most international travelers (US, UK, EU, Canada) are now visa-exempt for Zambia or can obtain a KAZA UNIVISA ($50) on arrival, which allows 30 days of travel between Zambia and Zimbabwe—perfect for seeing both sides of the Falls

"The lodge is located on the edge of the abyss, so you can marvel at the wilderness and beauty of nature at 100 meters above the Zambezi. We felt like the world belonged to us alone."
