Hidden Gems

Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all
Helen Keller

Hidden gems, when found, stir excitement on another level and shift our perspective irrevocably through their uniqueness. They take us deeper, whether that means showing us the beauty of this world through new ways or speaking to people who widen and enhance our wisdom and viewpoints or sometimes, they are just purely exhilarating and push us out of our comfort zones and we can’t believe how lucky we are to have found that place, person or adventure. Hidden gems become etched in your mind forever. They are the experiences and people you can so vividly recall when others blur into the background.Β

Zambezi National Park
Zimbabwe
Victoria Falls River Lodge was the first private game lodge to be built in the Zambezi National Park. Situated on the banks of the Zambezi River, this unique lodge is so close to the famous Victoria Falls that one can see the spray in the distance but tranquil enough to completely relax in utter seclusion. Within the wilds of an African game park, on the banks of a mighty body of rushing water, discover an untamed opulence that invites you to make a little piece of Africa your own. Victoria Falls River Lodge offers a smorgasbord of accommodation offerings, from its classic camp, private island suites, luxurious villas and the brand-new afro-chic standalone Malachite camp. They are the cherry on top of any safari itinerary and a definite bucket list experience.
