The lodge is set on a hilltop just three kilometres from the iconic Victoria Falls, affording guests magnificent views across the park wilderness to the Zambezi River and the Smoke that Thunders.

Stanley Safari Lodge exudes the elegance of the colonial era, with an ambience reminiscent of the pioneering days of the intrepid explorers, Stanley and Livingstone.

The lodge provides sumptuous comfort for both those seeking adrenalin-rushing adventure, and those in search of rest and relaxation. With two members of staff per guest, personalised attentive service assures a memorable and superbly comfortable stay.
