“Heaven on the Zambezi!”

Tsowa Island Lodge was magical and we were completely blown away by the Island, the camp and the setting on the mighty Zambezi River. It was hard to tear ourselves away from the beautiful tented camp and the decked lodge so we decided to make the most of our immediate surroundings. When we weren’t relaxing in the hammocks listening to the Island birdlife, lounging by the pool, or enjoying our coffee or G&T on the deck, we were on the river with Duncan.

Whilst on the river we were fortunate to enjoy Sundowners overlooking a large herd of Buffalo that came in for an evening drink, a morning cruise where we watched a herd of young elephant bulls wallowing and swimming, an afternoon canoe with John dodging the hippo and croc followed by another memorable sunset and ending with some exciting fishing where we caught tiger fish and nembwe. Needless to say we didn't want to leave!

Duncan and Francie were exceptional and we really enjoyed their expertise and company. The staff were charming, the food delicious and attention to detail around and about camp is evident. I can’t gush enough about our experience. It is certainly a special moment for our family that we will forever cherish.

“A Dream Come True”

When Freda, Gill, Val and I arrived at Tsowa Safari Lodge there was a great sense of excitement and anticipation.As we stepped onto the island from our boat we looked up to find a group of welcoming, smiling faces.
What a surprise to find a lodge, truly in the bush, amongst beautiful trees.We were led up to the living/decked are where we got a warm welcome.We could easily have spent the rest of the day lounging there taking in the beautiful surroundings. But it was time to see our accommodation......Wow! I was in tent No 1, had a beautiful view of the Zambezi River and also a creek flowing by on the side.My tent had every comfort I could wish for....with an indoor and outdoor shower, the outdoor shower was the best....showering under the stars with the sounds of the wild in the air. I heard the Pels Fishing Owl from my tent and then spotted it in a tree behind the tent.Everyday was special with tailor-made activities for the 4 of us.The silent elephant around the lodge added a wonderful element of surprise. A magic spot in the middle of the Zambezi River.

“Island Paradise”

We just so enjoyed the tranquility and timeless feeling one gets as soon as you are on the island.

Staff are great, sun-downer cruise up the mighty Zambezi is always so special.Tents were private and one feels you are in the real africa. All in all, a special place to be revisited

“Peaceful Island Trip”

A blend of Safari and luxury with such attention to detail. The tents are nestled amongst the trees and the whole camp is very eco friendly overlooking the Zambezi river. It is peaceful as not many other boats around.

The birdlife and animals are great to see.

Francie and her team offer great service and the food is delicious.

“Fantastic”

My spouse and I went to Zimbabwe to see Victoria Falls and Zambezi National Park. We had the good fortune to stay at picturesque Tsowa Lodge for three nights, which was a highlight of our month in Africa. The camp is fabulously small. In addition to lovely sitting/dining/bar area, campfire area, and swimming pools, there are currently 4 well-appointed guest tents nicely spaced for privacy. We were very impressed with the friendly and capable team Francie has put together, who collectively treated us like celebrities while maintaining a relaxed and comfortable vibe. The food was astonishingly good and guide Vusi was enthusiastic and knowledgeable, and he made sure we saw a huge variety of terrestrial and aquatic animals and birds. We do not hesitate to recommend Tsowa to anyone contemplating staying in the area.

“Amazing”

We have just come back from a family visit to Tsowa Lodge, we had an amazing few days. The staff are so helpful and friendly. The accommodation is five star. Food really, really good! We had a super
efficient guide that took us on lovely walks and river cruises. Thank you, we will be back.......

“Exquisite Safari Lodge on an Island in the Zambezi River”

From the moment we boarded the transfer boat across the Zambezi River to Tsowa Island we knew we were experiencing a very special destination. From the cool welcoming ice tea drink and the friendly attentive staff to the exquisite evening dinner menus - the crocodile tail kebab and Kariba crayfish starters were epic - this lodge met all our expectations. The island itself can best be described as a small piece of paradise.

“Simply incredible”

What a gem we found - we spent 2 nights at this new stunning lodge on the Zambezi. From warmth of the staff, the great food, comfortable tented accommodation and wonderful experiences both on the river, walking and game drives we didn't want to leave. Highly recommended.

“Tsowa Safari Island, what an unforgettable destination!”

From our arrival right up to our departure we received only the best possible service & attention from Fransie, the manager & all the staff members of Tsowa Safari Island. We were spoiled for two nights in fabulous accommodation & enjoyed the most unbelievable meals, sunset boat cruises on the mighty Zambezi and game drives the Zambezi National Park. Tsowa Safari Island is an absolute winner and can only be highly recommended!

“Lovely New Vic Falls option”

Absolutely loved my time at Tsowa - from extremely helpful staff and management to an idyllic setting, I loved every minute of my stay. The management even handled my gluten free dietary requirements perfectly. For a brand new property Tsowa is already a well oiled and professionally run camp!
