About this place

Sussi & Chuma Lodge is built into a grove of jackalberry trees on the banks of the Zambezi, inside Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park and about 12 km upstream of Victoria Falls. Named after the two companions who carried David Livingstone's body to the coast, the lodge pairs a national park on the doorstep with the falls, the river and the town of Livingstone a short drive away.

Twelve circular treehouse suites of 60 sq m sit in the canopy, each with a thatched roof, an air-conditioned four-poster under mosquito netting (king or twin), a freestanding bath, a writing desk and a private semi-enclosed deck with river views. The main lodge, bar and dining deck face the water, where hippos and crocodiles drift past.

Game drives and walking safaris in the national park, sundowner cruises, catch-and-release fishing, a guided tour of Victoria Falls and a visit to the neighbouring Nakatindi village are all included. White-water rafting runs from July to October and the Devil's Pool opens from late August, both at extra cost. The lodge is open year-round and welcomes children aged six and over.

Stays are fully inclusive of meals, drinks, activities, park fees, laundry and the transfer from Harry Mwaanga Nkumbula International Airport in Livingstone, 25 minutes away.
