About the lodge
An overview of The Wallow Lodge.
The Wallow Lodge is located in the Wild Horizons Wildlife Sanctuary, a private concession in the Victoria Falls National Park. A birds-eye view of the area would show you the silver-blue shimmer of the Masuwe River, snaking across a mosaic of green and gold wilderness.
Highlights
- The lodge offers an intimate safari getaway in the heart of a private concession within Victoria Falls National Park.
- Suites are enchanting and intimate, overlooking the Masuwe River and surrounding wilderness.
- Enjoy sunset cruises on the Zambezi River, zip lining, bungee jumping, and gorge swinging over Victoria Falls.
You Should Know
- Children over the age of 7 are most welcome at The Wallow Lodge.
- Children aged 7–16 years (inclusive) will be accommodated at 50% of the adult sharing rate.
- As The Wallow Lodge is unfenced and located in a wilderness area, it is not recommended that children younger than 16 years occupy a room on their own without an older sibling or adult present.
The Detail
The Wallow Lodge is situated in a private game reserve, peacefully nestled in the heart of the Victoria Falls National Park.
The tented camp is set along the banks of the Masuwe River, surrounded by 4,500 acres of wilderness that stretches into the horizon, where a cloud of mist from the ‘Mosi-Au-Tunya’ commands the skyline.
Victoria Falls is a short twenty-minute transfer from the lodge, giving guests the freedom to tailor their experience and find a balance between the exclusivity of the bush and the excitement of Africa’s Adventure Capital.
Enchanting and intimate, the sixteen suites are ideally situated to overlook the Masuwe River and surrounding wilderness. The imaginative use of canvas preserves the romance of yesteryear with a classic safari atmosphere, accentuated by all the modern creature comforts. Each room is raised beneath the shade of ancient riverine trees. From this elevated vantage point, guests can enjoy uninterrupted views of the river from their private balcony.
Sustainable technology such as solar power, environmentally friendly decking, and non-disposable products ensure that every journey leaves a light footprint on the land. The lodge is a return to life's simple pleasures and meaningful moments in a beautiful natural setting.
