&Beyond Matetsi River Lodge, Zimbabwe
Situated within 40 km of the Victoria Falls, the reserve’s unique location means that guests also have convenient and easy access to the magnificent sights and variety of adrenalin adventures available at the UNESCO World Heritage Site. Nestled on an exclusive stretch of the Zambezi River, &Beyond Matetsi River Lodge celebrates the region’s fascinating heritage with authentic features and effortlessly combines them with light and airy contemporary interiors. Immerse yourself in the rhythm of river life from the morning you open your eyes with luxurious suites set in the shade of the riverside trees. Blending perfectly into their environment, the two intimate camps of Matetsi River Lodge reflect the deep traditions and undaunted spirit of the land, from ancient fishing methods to time-honoured basket-weaving techniques. Broad and welcoming, king-sized beds set snugly in front of floor-to-ceiling glass windows that let in a glimpse of the secret life of the river banks. Both indoor and al fresco showers offer a promise of refreshment, while a deep and indulgent circular bath provides a languid viewpoint onto the Zambezi River.

Zimbabwe is a landlocked country in southern Africa known for its dramatic landscape and diverse wildlife, much of it within parks, reserves and safari areas. On the Zambezi River, Victoria Falls make a thundering 108m drop into narrow Batoka Gorge, where there’s white-water rafting and bungee-jumping. Downstream are Matusadona and Mana Pools national parks, home to hippos, rhinos and birdlife.
