Batoka Zambezi Sands

The location is sublime, the accommodation extremely comfortable and well thought out, the attention to detail superb and the personal service 6 star

A paradise inside the Zambezi National Park. Everything was perfect. Great facilities, service, food and staff. Highly recommended.

Zambezi Sands Batoka Africa is absolutely amazing! The river views are stunning, the tents are super luxurious, and we even saw impalas and monkeys right from our private deck. Every meal was thoughtfully prepared by the amazing chef and brought out by the “Minister of Happiness.”Dining under the stars with the sounds of the African bush and the Zambezi river in the background was exquisite. The staff were beyond exceptional—warm, professional, and always going the extra mile to make us feel welcome. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, and the game drives were filled with adrenaline and unforgettable moments, from close encounters with buffalos to hearing roars from elephants that are inches away. Cruising into the African sunset was such a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Can’t wait to come back! I have been to many African countries but Zambezi Sands Batoka tops it all!

What an amazing experience!!! The facilities are second to none and the staff are fabulous! Highly recommended for the trip of a lifetime!

this was the best trip ever! so much hospitality, loved the people and the food! overall the best lodge i attended in africa!

We’ve travelled across Africa before, but this was by far the most unforgettable safari experience we’ve ever had. From the moment we arrived, we were treated with the highest level of service, warmth, and care. Percy and Rose went above and beyond to plan every detail of our itinerary, and it was flawless from start to finish. Every day was a dream. We stayed at the most beautifully decorated lodge, with rooms that were both luxurious and full of character. The lodge is set right on the Zambezi River, which makes this location truly special and unlike anywhere else we’ve stayed. Waking up each morning to breakfast overlooking the river felt like something out of a movie. The food was absolutely spectacular. It was fresh, healthy, and full of flavour. The wholesome menu offered something delicious at every meal, and we were especially impressed by the thoughtful wine list featuring some excellent pairings. Every meal felt like a treat. Our safari guides, Martin and Robert, were incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and so much fun. Thanks to them, we saw everything we hoped for: leopard, giraffe, zebra, hippo, and buffalo, all in just a few days. We even had the chance to go on a guided bush walk, a first for us, and it was absolutely thrilling to experience the wild from a whole new perspective. The highlight of our stay was a complete surprise. A magical bush dinner was arranged for our 10-year anniversary. It was so special and emotional, it brought me to tears. We felt truly celebrated and cared for. A huge thank you also to Marzi, our amazing hostess, who made everything feel effortless. She even arranged for our laundry to be done and had delicious, lazy lunches delivered to our room so we could completely relax between activities. We also explored Victoria Falls, took a breathtaking helicopter flight over the falls, and enjoyed a sunset boat drift on the Zambezi with Batoka, sipping drinks as the sky turned gold. Pure bliss. This was more than a holiday. It was an experience we’ll treasure forever. Three days of magic, thanks to an outstanding team who made every moment count. If you are considering a safari or a special trip in Africa, this is the one. We cannot recommend it highly enough.
