The Lodge is set in the malaria free Madikwe Game Reserve. It is an old farmhouse that after years of family laughter and happiness has been transformed into an inviting and relaxing residence that encourages guests to kick off their shoes and unwind. What makes The Bush House different? Perhaps it’s in the people who make you feel so warmly welcome, at the bar after your game drive, at the brunch table, or in the boma for dinner under the stars. The staff prides themselves on really caring for guests and being attentive to their needs. As an owner managed Lodge the personal touch is an integral part of the service. Perhaps it’s in the sense of the bushveld. The dust of the elephant herds, the closeness of the rhino, the fleeting glimpse of the leopard… or the massive power of the buffalo coming down to drink at the waterhole within meters of the front lawn. It could be the luxuries you enjoy. The sumptuous bushveld cuisine or the service so close you only have to lift a finger. Or maybe it’s more about the whole experience than a single sighting. More about the memories you made while you were one with nature as you pulled the bushveld around your shoulders like a blanket, and in a strange, familiar way you felt completely at home. The Bush House does not have to be booked out exclusively, each room can be sold individually. That’s why people come back to The Bush House. Again and again. For most of our guests it’s just like that, like coming home – even for the first time. There are six en-suite bedrooms. Four of them have private verandas where you can sit and contemplate the world, one overlooks the garden and waterhole with another having the soothing sounds of a water feature outside the sliding door.

The roof which is just above ground level is reinforced and can carry the weight of any elephant that might wander across the top. The Hide is accessed from a path within the Lodge garden, or from the swimming pool, so guests can safely move along the walkway and into the tunnel without being seen by the animals and in complete safety. The front of The Hide has an expanded metal grid which is completely open and out of sight but can be quickly dropped if anyone is feeling nervous. OUR TIPS The pathways, tunnel and hide are all lit at night so are available for use by guests 24 hours a day. Those guests with walkers and in wheelchairs can also use The Hide as the walkway has ramps that ensure ease of access. Viewing of all the visiting animals and birds close up is truly spectacular and offers a whole new dimension in game viewing.

  • Tongabezi

    Exceptional, award-winning lodge on the banks of the Zambezi River, Livingstone, Zambia. Tongabezi Exceptional, award-winning lodge on the banks of the Zambezi River, Livingstone, Zambia. 1/29 Location 18km upstream from the Victoria Falls, Zambia. DESCRIPTION: This award winning eco-lodge 18km outside Livingstone, Zambia leans into the tranquillity of its hidden location on the banks of the Zambezi River. Combine romance and luxury with a hint of adventure as you relax just 18km upstream of Victoria Falls. The joyous team at ongabezi welcome guests to a selection of Houses and Cottages, each embellished with interiors lovingly chosen from around Africa. Immerse yourself in nature and experience unique dining and river activities. Conde Nast may have called Tongabezi one of the top 20 Hotels in the World,. Its five River Cottages, four Houses, and three Family Houses emphasise individuality and exclusivity, which is why it is especially important to choose a room that best reflects the Tongabezi experience you are dreaming of. The setting – among indigenous trees some 18km upstream of the Victoria Falls – is inspirational, giving superb views over the river yet shaded from the harsh Zambian sun. Adding a tropical feel, a waterfall streams down the natural rocks into the free-form swimming pool, while the Lookout affords something of a bird’s eye view. Meals – which are excellent – are enjoyed in the thatched dining area or on the riverside deck, where a firepit brings warmth to cooler evenings. Drinks are always on hand, and if it all gets too much, just head to the spa for a soothing massage. Each house is allocated a personal “valet” to look after guests, and to arrange activities – from canoeing and island picnics to Falls and village excursions. Underpinned by Tongabezi’s commitment to its staff – and the wider community – it’s a standard of service that runs throughout. Enjoy doing as much or as little as you want although there are plenty of activities on offer. Victoria Falls is the adventure capital of Africa with a wide range of white-knuckle activities – like rafting, bungee jumping and bridge swinging – to choose from. You can also head out on nature and bird watching walks, 4X4 game drives in the Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park or boat cruises on the Zambezi in search of elephant and hippo. Visit local markets and villages for gifts and souvenirs and of course be sure to visit ‘The Smoke that Thunders’ – Victoria Falls, which is best viewed up close. Tongabezi also has a private family villa known as The Dog House, which has three separate decks and two small islands connected by wooden walkways.
