| Environmental
sensitivity, along with an appreciation for the privacy
of our guests, were considered during the design of Redcliff
Zambezi Lodge. The central entertainment area and lounge
are therefore entirely separate from the tented chalets.
Chalets are conveniently spaced under the large, shady riparian
trees. The lodge property (about 100 ha) extends along 1.5
km river frontage. |

The
lodge was originally launched as Redcliff Zambezi Fishing Safaris
in 1997 with tigerfishing as the main focus. By the time the lodge
was completed in 1999, it had become obvious that the area has
so much more to offer, both because of its remoteness as well
as its proximity to a wealth of cultural history and wildlife
sites. |

Redcliff
Zambezi Lodge can accommodate up to 16 guests. Four tent-roofed
chalets (each with 2 beds) and two family chalets (each
with 4 beds).
Guests
can enjoy stunning views and abundant bird life of the
Zambezi River from the privacy of their chalets.

The
indigenous vegetation forms the 'garden' between chalets, with
the huge trees providing a shady canopy above the beautiful lawns.
The camp is built safely above the high-flood level. A swimming
pool is part of the comfortable surroundings. |
| |
| Chalets
are spacious and airy, designed to combat the heat and humidity
even during the hottest months.
Each
chalet is mosquito proof and is equipped with a fan, large,
comfortable beds and en suite facilities consisting of a
shower, toilet, hot and cold running water. |

Solar panels
are used to charge 12 volt batteries for major lighting needs,
while pathways and chalets are illuminated by paraffin lanterns,
providing a soft and rustic atmosphere. 220V power is available
24 hours per day, generated through "green power"
as far as possible and supplemented with generators.
The lodge
has a state-of-the-art broadband satellite e-mail and internet
link as well as cell phone reception.
|
| |
| There
is a central entertainment area with lounge, dining room,
bar and a well-appointed veranda/deck that overlooks the
river. This is the ideal spot to view the numerous hippo
and crocodiles that frequent the Zambezi River in front
of the lodge, and to listen to the sounds of the wild after
sunset. Meals include breakfast, lunch and dinner served
in the evening. Meal times are flexible to suit guest requirements
and activities. |
