Based on the river, the location of Royal Zambezi is perfect for those interested in water activities, with some of the best fishing on the river as well as epic sunset boat cruises! Although it is just outside the park in a GMA (game management area) you won’t compromise on wildlife sightings and of course you can get straight to the water if you want to explore by boat or canoe! With the addition of the hide just minutes away from the lodge there is an immense concentration of wildlife in the area. You could easily spend a morning or afternoon here!

The guides at Royal Zambezi are outstanding, all of whom have been there for a long time. They know the area like the back of their hand and can identify the individual animals they have watched for years. Each activity has specialist guides from those who are experts at birding to those who know where the best spots are for tiger fishing, game drive guides, walking guides, canoeing guides-they have them all! They pride themselves on their guiding and have purposely chosen to staff a larger guiding team than the norm, which really sets them apart from its competitors and means guests are well looked after and almost guaranteed to see/do exactly what they want to (within reason- sadly they cant produce miracles or unicorns!).
