Tsowa Safari Island is a luxury private safari island located upstream from Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, offering unique and exclusive safari experiences in the Zambezi National Park. The island features a picturesque setting with a small, intimate lodge that offers a blend of safari experiences, including game drives, river cruises, canoeing, island walking, and fishing.
The lodge offers four well-appointed guest tents, each with a unique and eco-friendly design, overlooking the Zambezi River.
The world is re-imagining connection, the vitality of the present. Time is the new luxury and Tsowa Safari Island is part of an ancient world of forests, animals, rivers, massive vines, birds and baobab trees where we find comfort and connection in the optimism of nature. Explore our paradise on foot, boat, canoes and game viewers. Always returning to our oasis on the river, surrounded by the tinkling of the flowing Zambezi and her laughing hippo’s. Everything defers to nature, on safari we slow down to the rhythms of the day.
