Sundowner Zambezi Lodge
Gateway to Tiger Mile – Confluence of Deka and Zambezi Rivers
Sundowner Zambezi Lodge is set on what used to be known as "grassy banks", over looking the "Deka Tiger Mile". We are close to the confluence of the Deka and mighty Zambezi River. The lodge commands a sweeping panaromic view over one of the most beautiful bends of this magnificent river. Situated 140 kilometers from the famous Victoria Falls and 150 kilometers from Hwange National Park, makes it an ideal location with access to these Western Zimbabwe Tourism highlights.
Guests are accommodated in the following accommodation (all with en-suite bathrooms):
- Two spacious natural stone & thatch Lodges (2 or 3 beds) with river views
- Three twin bed units with river or riverine forest view
- A spacious family cottage (also ideal for small groups - 2-4 beds) with river view
Relax around the swimming pool or under the thatched boma. The lodge offers a Bar, dining room, recreational area, braai area and a stunning verandah where you can watch the resident hippo and fish eagles. To cool off on those hot days a sparkling swimming pool is available is set behind the boma for guests privacy. Staff are on hand at all times for your convenience.
The Lodge is situated a stones throw away from the river, giving anglers easy access to famous tiger fishing areas (known as DEKA TIGER MILE) that have stood the test of time. Fishing is explosive in this region with a variety of freshwater sport fish to keep anglers on the edge of their seats. Catch varieties like the famous Tiger Fish, Nkupe, Chessa, Bream and Vundu.
Boats are available with experienced driver/fishing guides who will show you where to fish and teach you the techniques – should you wish.
There are a number of beautiful walks in the area, Guests can be accompanied by one of our experienced guides. The surrounding bush around the lodge ranges from Riverine forest to Mopani woodlands, thus offering a diversity of birdlife and landscape.
Game drive viewing can be arranged at the Hwange National Park.
