Zambezi River Cruises Community Projects Visit Visit Victoria Falls Guided Birding Livingstone Town and Market Tour

Nothing beats drifting down the Zambezi at sunset. Listen to the sound of the river settling in for the night. Baboons and monkeys climbing to safe-haven perches high in the trees, flocks of birds heading to their night-time roost. Herds of elephant and buffalo coming down for an evening drink, hippos grunting and splashing around, jostling for the best position in the water. This is what you'll do on your first night at Waterberry - sundowner in one hand, camera in the other. Bliss.

At dawn the Zambezi wakes - completely still with mist rising from the waters, this is a magical time to set out in a small boat with hot water bottle and blankets and hot coffee to see the sun rise as the birds setting out for their daytime feeding grounds.

Our village guide lives in the community and will show guests how rural Zambians lead their lives in this completely noncommercial setting. Followed by curious children guests will see our school and education areas, the village library and the community farm that are part funded by the village walks.

Waterberry's owners have built a school, library and adult education centre, and given land for a community farm opened during the pandemic to help provide food for the village. From a mud and stick classroom in 2009 to recognition of the school as a regional exam centre, the community projects programme is at the heart of Waterberry.

Victoria Falls never ceases to amaze. Flowing over 1.6km of sheer cliff between Zambia and Zimbabwe, the huge body of water changes with every season. High water in the early part of the year floods with absolutely astonishing force, shaking buildings miles away, releasing massive spray and vast double rainbows. In the dry season, from late October until early January, the huge 100m deep canyon is exposed with boiling rapids and views to the fast running cataract on the west side.

Walking the paths around the Falls is an unmatched, awe-inspiring experience. We think everyone should see the Falls from both the Zambian and Zimbabwean sides, because they are very different experiences.

Waterberry's expert bird guides take guests around the 1km Waterberry riverbank and through the wooded areas to see our amazing collection of birds. Keen birders can also visit Mosi O Tunya Park. A dawn cruise on the Zambezi reveals flocks of birds leaving their night time roost and heading for their daytime feeding grounds.

Livingstone was the capital of Zambia at the beginning of the 20th century, and some fascinating architecture remains. In the Museum guests can actually pull out and read David Livingstone's handwritten letters. At Maramba Market local Zambians shop for food, beautiful fabrics and literally everything!

Includes: bed & breakfast 

Pioneers Victoria Falls is situated in the quiet suburbs of Victoria Falls’ residential area, 3.5 kilometres from the Falls.

Pioneers offers 50 elegant en-suite rooms all designed to embrace the Zimbabwean Pioneer era, with private verandas overlooking the garden and pool. All rooms at Pioneers are air conditioned and have free limited WiFi. The lodge has four family rooms making it ideal for families.

At the heart of the lodge is a snug lounge, an indoor and outdoor dining area, curio shop, as well as a terrace opening onto the pool and garden area.

Activities in Victoria Falls (at an additional cost) can be arranged at the activities desk.

Other thank our inclusive game drives we are able to offer day trips to both Chobe & Hwange National Parks:

CHOBE DAY TRIP:
A Wildtrack representative will collect guests from Wildtrack and take them to Kasane where they will be met by their guide for their Chobe experience. The Chobe day trip includes a 3 hour river cruise and 3 hour game drive, with lunch on The Raft floating restaurant, where guests can enjoy traditional cuisine while still being surrounded by the natural beauty of Chobe River. At around 16:00 / 16:30 vehicles will make their way out of the national park towards Kasane, with an estimated arrival time of about 18:00.

HWANGE DAY TRIP:
Our Hwange day trip focuses (not included) in the area surrounding Robins camp – in order to give our guests a different feel, and the opportunity to spot some of the many animals the area is known for. Once park formalities have been completed, we head off to Crocodile pools, for some croc and hippo spotting –as well as break for coffee and muffins. From there, we travel through some unspoilt areas via Chingahobe dam, before breaking for a packed lunch at Deteema dam. Thereafter we make our way back towards the gate via Salt Pan, Big toms and Little Toms, before heading out – and back to the border by 5pm.

Our cultural tour begins with meeting the village elders at the Pandamatenga Kgotla, to introduce our guests to them – as well as request permission to enter the village. This is followed by a tour of the village, which encompasses stops to some of the projects our lodge is associated with / involved in – such as the new school that is being built, a community garden we have launched, as well as the community hall – where we encourage ladies in the community to ‘get creative’. We also stop at a house in the village, and introduce our guests to some of the customs, foods and traditions of the Motswana culture. This allows our guests direct interaction with the community, further giving them the opportunity to ‘give back’, should they wish – without feeling obliged.

We end off the day with a boma dinner at our lodge, entertaining our guests with song, dance and rhythm – provided for by the local choir.

Includes: meals, local drinks, activities, laundry, park fees and intermittent Wifi. 
Excludes: premium drinks
Activities: game drives, boat cruise & village visit

Located high on the edge of a rocky ridge overlooking the famous Chobe River is Chobe Elephant Camp. This uniquely designed lodge has been built to take advantage of the incredible views overlooking the sweeping floodplains while offering a comfortable refuge from the harsh African conditions.

The lodge has been entirely constructed from sandbags, the thick sand-filled walls create a natural insulating barrier between the inhabitants and the harsh African climate and enhance the old farm-style feel of the camp. It houses sixteen rooms, two family rooms and can sleep 36 guests at a time. 

Activities include viewing the regions spectacular wildlife from open safari vehicles and by boat on the Chobe River as well as a cultural visit. Chobe Elephant Camp’s seasonal boat jetty is about one hours drive from camp, close to Ihaha in the heart of the Chobe National Park. This jetty is usually operational from May until September, but when water levels are not adequate at the jetty, guests staying two nights or more will still be able to enjoy boat cruises departing from Kasane.

Chobe / Ngoma Gate
This property is located near the Ngoma Gate for entry to the Chobe Riverfront.  Very few lodges are located on this end of the park and few people utilize this entry point, creating a more remote and exclusive experience than at the properties around Kasane.  Although outside the park, this option is located in a bush setting where wildlife frequently passes through.

Chalet

Our Chalets offer high comfort with the feel and look of the traditional Farmstead located in the African wilderness. Polished floors, exposed wooden beams and weathered furniture capture this rustic charm. Located high on the edge of a rocky ridge the chalets provide an amazing view over the floodplains of the famous Chobe River.

All Chalets have been built from the same Red Kalahari Sand that dominates the northern part of Botswana. The walls are made out of sandbags which serve as a great natural insulation barrier and keep the rooms cool during hot days and warm during cold nights. All the construction timber and furniture is manufactured from renewable wood sources or from reclaimed wood. To heat water we are using the sun’s energy. Our goal is to keep the carbon footprint as small as possible, while at the same time never compromising guest comfort.

With 14 twin rooms and 2 family suites, Chobe Elephant Camp can comfortably accommodate 36 guests. All rooms are en-suite with both indoor and outdoor showers. The whole lodge has been designed to take advantage of the spectacular views over the Chobe River, so whether you choose to relax on your private veranda, read a book in the lounge, have a drink at the bar or cool off in the pool, the vista will always be there to enjoy.
