zambezi national park
Falls's western side
Zambezi National Park is located on the falls' western side, approximately 40 km along the Zambezi River. The park is well known for its abundance of antelopes. Elephants, zebras, kudus, elands and lions can also be seen during game drives and safari walks. With its proximity to Victoria Falls, activities and tours of the falls can easily be arranged for guests staying at lodges in this area. The rainy season is between November and May, and access to Zambezi National Park is in 4x4 vehicles only.
Old Drift Lodge
The Old Drift is situated only 7 km from Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe overlooking Zambezi National Park. The lodge is small, with only 14 rooms – 10 double suites and 4 family suites – perfectly built facing the Zambezi River. Old Drift Lodge suites are canvas made and offer guests a luxury setting from which to enjoy the view. With an outdoor bath and a private plunge pool, star bed guests are spoilt for choice when deciding where to relax or even where to sleep. Each air-conditioned family suite comprises two inter-leading ensuite bedrooms.
