Tongabezi is a luxury lodge near Victoria Falls on the banks of the Zambezi River. It was founded in 1990 by Ben Parker and the late Will Ruck-Keene, pioneers of eco-tourism in Zambia.

The friendly team welcomes guests to a selection of houses and cottages, each beautifully styled with furniture and embellishments from all over Africa.
Guests can dine beside the river or on their private terrace.
Privately owned and run, Tongabezi combines an exclusive ambience with the legendary warmth and hospitality of the people of Zambia.

Tongabezi is the ultimate destination for romance – if you have a special occasion to celebrate, our entire team will be at your service to ensure the ultimate wedding, honeymoon, or anniversary – but the real beauty of the Tongabezi experience lies in its ability to set the scene and inspire a little magical romance in everyone… no occasion necessary!
We offer thrilling boat trips to Livingstone Island, where David Livingstone caught his first glimpse of the mighty falls.
Guests can also stay on our private island, Sindabezi, an exclusive camp on the Zambezi River.

The Lookout was conceived as the ultimate chill out zone next to the existing Tonga Lounge, dining and cocktail decks.

With its feet planted firmly in the Zambezi, the Lookout offers guests the chance to feel at one with the great river and the separate levels ensure extra privacy.

Whether you need to check in with the world in our high tech ante room, celebrate life and all its glories with a meal or take a deep breath to practice the forgotten art of hibernation – the Lookout provides the space.
