tsowa river spa A tranquil bush escape
A gentle stroll along the grassy riverbank brings you to our tented spa, gracefully suspended on a wooden deck above the flowing Zambezi. Here, time slows. The rhythmic sounds of the river, the distant calls of hippos, and the whisper of the bush create a deeply tranquil escape. An intimate space where nature and stillness intertwine.

Punctuality
Guests are requested to arrive 15 minutes early in order to assist with the consultation form.
Payment of Treatments
Prices are subject to change without notice. Charges are added to the guests room account and will be settled at the lodge's reception on departure as the spa does not accept payment directly.
