Samanzi

Overview

Samanzi is designed entirely around the water, making it a refreshing base for exploring Victoria Falls. As the third property in the Shongwe Selection, the lodge centres on tiered pools that step down over three levels through the grounds. There are fifteen cabana-style rooms available, and every single one features a private deck that opens directly onto those tiered pools. When you are ready to relax after a day of sightseeing, you can head to the swim-up bar or settle into the jacuzzi located just beside it. The property sits roughly one kilometre from the main town area and about two kilometres from the waterfall itself, which means you are close to the sights while staying in town rather than in a game reserve. You can enjoy all your meals on site, where Chef Jason manages the kitchen, and you can even request a private dinner in the wine cellar. Because Samanzi is part of the broader group, you are also welcome to visit the nearby Shongwe Lookout lodge to take in the views from their dedicated tower.

Amenities & Facilities

Good to Know

• There is some conflicting address information showing both 543 Teak Road and 553 Mopane Street in Victoria Falls, so we will make sure you have the exact map pin before you travel.
• Although you can use the tower there, Shongwe Lookout Guest Lodge is a completely separate accommodation.
• This is a town-based lodge rather than a safari camp situated inside the national park.
• We do not display room prices online, so please ask us to verify the current rates for your dates.

Ideal For

Friends and couples looking for a water-centric stay in town, just a short distance from the waterfall and local dining spots.
