Intro

Originally opened in 1992 Masuwe was the flagship lodge of Landela Safaris and one of the first bush lodges at the Falls. For the last 15 years Masuwe has been either leased to other safari operators or closed and attended by care-takers.  In May 2017 Masuwe Lodge has re-opened after a total re-build and re-furbish.  We have taken it right back to the skeleton … and then some! New pathways link the rooms through the old and established gardens; the glitter stone of the original swimming pool again sparkles in

the sun-light; old decks have been replaced as have the old green safari tents.  Masuwe Lodge is a dream safari destination – it combines bush and wildlife with The Heart of Masuwe
Our main lodge overlooks a waterhole and the (often dry) Masuwe River. Perched high on a hill that exudes a positive energy (aaaahh the magic of Africa!) the dining, bar, lounge, pool and relaxation areas are well shaded and open to the breezes, birdlife and wildlife that calls Masuwe home.   The old stone ‘bones’ of the original Masuwe Lodge have been restored and the thatched roof has been replaced, the kitchen and bar have been rebuilt and a welcoming staff, including many of the original team, are gathering to host you.the Zambezi River.  It combines all-inclusive hospitality with the freedom of exploring the local craft markets.  Imagine tackling white water rafting or an evening sun-downer cruise on the Zambezi River, imagine shopping in the curio stores by day but, each evening returning to the sounds, smells, tastes and natural setting that are – life on safari.

 

Highlights

At Masuwe Lodge you might wake to the sound of a crested francolin, perhaps spy a shy steenbok foraging beneath your deck as you enjoy a morning coffee delivered to your tent … and an hour later you can be riding the rapids beneath Victoria Falls, browsing the markets at Elephant Walk or bravely swinging over the Zambezi River on the terrifying Gorge Swing!
