À vivre

At the heart of Zambezi National Park, a few kilometres from Victoria Falls, Zambezi Sands by Batoka invites you to discover a more secluded side of Africa. No busy roads here, nor imposing lodges. The camp blends into the vegetation, right on the banks of the legendary Zambezi River, amid still-untouched nature.
Each day is marked by the passage of elephants, the flight of fish eagles, and the shifting light on the river. The spacious tents offer an immersive experience, where contemporary comfort gives way to the beauty of the landscape.

True to Batoka Africa's philosophy, the camp places sustainability, African hospitality and connection to the land at the heart of the experience. Power comes mainly from a solar installation, produce is mostly sourced locally, and travellers are invited to discover the natural and human richness of Zimbabwe through authentic experiences.

Layout

Zambezi Sands welcomes just 10 luxury tents, spread along the riverbanks to preserve each traveller’s privacy. Six feature a small private pool, while four have a spacious panoramic terrace.
The main camp includes a restaurant with an open kitchen, a lounge, a bar and a shaded terrace facing the Zambezi. Meals showcase local, seasonal produce, creatively reinterpreted. The whole operation runs on an eco-responsible basis, powered by a solar plant backed up by a generator.

For your children

Children are welcome from age 6. Suites can accommodate an extra bed for a child sharing the room with their parents. Due to the wild environment, children remain under the responsibility of their accompanying adults for the duration of the stay.

Rooms

The 10 suites, each 55 m², blend canvas, wood and natural materials in an elegant style inspired by safari camps.
Two categories are available: Deck Suites, with a panoramic terrace, and Pool Suites, fitted with a private plunge pool.
All feature a bathroom with a deep bathtub, indoor and outdoor shower, a sitting area, and a terrace opening onto the river.
Some suites already have air conditioning, and the entire camp has Wi-Fi.

SPA

The camp does not have a dedicated spa, but offers a selection of treatments and massages directly in the suites or on the private terrace facing the Zambezi. Wellness experiences, such as yoga, meditation or relaxation sessions in the heart of nature, complete this approach centred on reconnecting with the environment.

Activities offered

The stay includes numerous experiences: morning and evening safaris in Zambezi National Park, sunrise or sunset river cruises, personalised tours of Victoria Falls, birdwatching, recreational fishing, Sip & Paint creative workshops, as well as various wellness experiences.
Massages, premium wines and certain private experiences are offered at extra cost.
