Victoria Falls trips, boat safaris, canoe safaris, boat trip to Livingstone Island.

Recently featured in House and Garden, Tangala House is the home to Ben and Vanessa Parker who are partners in Tongabezi. The family actually live there most of the year and therefore it is only available during school holidays (namely Christmas, Easter and June through to the end of August), when the family are travelling elsewhere.

Tangala House is far enough from the Falls to escape the touristy aspects but close enough for easy access to activities (many of which are included) and is fabulously located on the Zambezi River. It is extremely spacious, stylish and elegant and has all the creature comforts you'd expect of a luxurious private home in the bush. You have your own private guide and host, chef, waiter, housekeeper, a large pool and ground attendant, as well as private use of vehicles and boats and with enough space for up to 8 people, it is a perfect family retreat.

Victoria Falls - Livingstone

Livingstone is the little town from which visitors to Zambia can visit the Victoria Falls, relax on the Zambezi or indulge in the multitude of crazy adrenalin activities available.  Unlike Victoria Falls town in Zimbabwea which is within easy walking distance of the Falls, Livingstone is about 6km from the Falls itself and you need to get in a car to get there.  Whether the Falls is best viewed from Zambia or Zimbabwe is a rather subjective issue and depends on who you talk to and the time of year.  From Zambia, you look along the gorge and the area of the Falls immediately in front of the Zambian view points can dry up at certain times of the year.  Both countries suffer when the river is in spate as you see an awful lot of spray and not much of the falls themselves...you also get a free shower.

Zambia

Zambia has made a name for itself in the last ten years, as a high quality wildlife destination and one that is particularly good for walking safaris.  Intimate (and often rustic) bushcamps, excellent local guides, beautiful riverine scenery and varied game and birdlife are the trademarks of a safari in Zambia.  Jump straight to our favourite Zambia experiences.
