ZAMBEZI Crescent Collection has

treehouse suites constructed

of wood and glass, all on raised

and private deck with plunge pool

overlooking the Zambezi. Communal

area, and lounge and dining areas

with complimentary WiFi. The rooms

are connected to the central area by

elevated walkways among the trees.

Two guests can be accommodated

per room, and children aged 16 and

A personal butler service is

provided, with one butler for four

guests. Activities include morning

The lodge is only accessible by

boat and transfers from Victoria

lodge rates. Other transfers from

Livingstone or Kasane can be

arranged through the lodge for the

appropriate extra costs.

Rates are US$800pps per night

Karen Taylor, operations manager

of Zambezi Crescent Collection,

says: “The combination of luxurious

accommodation in an exclusive

island treehouse, fine dining, warm

hospitality, memorable activity

options and the discreet attention of

a personal butler – combined with

one of the seven natural wonders

of the world and all that the historic

town of Victoria Falls has to offer –

assures guests of an unforgettable

stay.”
