The Zambezi Sands River Camp is only a 45-60 minute road transfer from the vibrant town of Victoria Falls, with its variety of shopping and activities. But it is the breath-taking setting which attracts you. It lies within the Zambezi National Park right on the banks of the Zambezi River.
The camp combines water-based activities based around the river with game walks and game drives in the National Park. And you can opt to head to the town to see the Victoria Falls. It is perfect for those who want to see the Victoria Falls but also to feel that they are still on safari!
The Camp and Accommodation
The main tented camp has a sitting/dining area and bar under canvas. This opens out onto multi-level wooden decks which make the most of its stunning setting right on the mighty Zambezi river.
On either side are eight luxurious suites, seven with twin bed and one with double bed. They all have a separate sitting area with minibar and tea/coffee station. And a bathroom with Victoria ball and claw bar, outside shower and outside toilet. In front of the suite is an expansive deck with its own private plunge pool and sun loungers.
Activities here are centred around the water and the land. Enjoy guided canoe trips in stable inflatable canoes or boating excursions followed by sundowner drinks on the river bank. You can also try your luck at some tiger fishing.
On land you can enjoy game drives and bush walks with experienced guides in the Zambezi National Park. Elephant can be found loitering on the mainland or crossing the river. Whilst hippo, waterbuck and bushbuck frequent the reed banks and islands. Lions can be heard calling at night and we were lucky to see both lion and cheetah here. Finally the birdlife is prolific. You may see the African finfoot, African skimmer, pratincoles and Pel's fishing owl.
A guided tour to the magnificent Victoria Falls rainforest (park fees being extra) is also on offer. But we recommend that you stay a night close to the Falls and then come here for two or three nights to enjoy the river safari. However, relaxing in your private splash pool on your deck overlooking the Zambezi, can be just as enjoyable!

Our experienced guides will take you out both morning and evening on a drive through the Park which is home to four of the big five, as well as many other plains game species. Our vehicles are set up to be both comfortable and spacious allowing you to sit back, relax and marvel at the splendour Africa and our hospitality have to offer.
Our comfortable boat is ideal in getting us upriver where we observe some of the water creatures of the Zambezi, these include hippo, crocodile and Cape Clawless Otter. With an evening drink in hand and deliciously prepared evening snacks on board this is the perfect way to end off your day.
Conducted by a fully licensed and highly experienced professional guide, usually undertaken in the mornings, ideal for photography of big game on foot.
An exhilarating flight over the Majestic Victoria Falls. An unforgettable experience! Views that can only be seen once in a lifetime.
The Zambezi River is home to one of the best game fish in Africa, the Tiger Fish. Tiger living within the Upper Zambezi complex means they are more powerful and leaner than those Tiger found in the Lower Kariba Dam complex. Why not try your hand and get ready for a fight. All fishing is done on a catch and release basis.
The Zambezi National Park is a true bird haven with 447 different bird species having been recorded here. Our unique river system cut into the Zimbabwean shoreline provides refuge and safe passage for may little water birds, the open grassland provide a different birding experience all together, and the spring line walks yet another birding opportunity. Combining all these, it would not be unreasonable to view sixty species in a single day. A true birders paradise.
