Mukwa River Lodge is a small, family-owned lodge on the banks of the Zambezi River, roughly twenty minutes from Victoria Falls, with just six suites, four facing the river and two set slightly back on the island side.
Each suite has a private plunge pool and its own garden, and the kitchen bakes its own bread and ice cream while sourcing produce from local markets. It earns its place through genuine intimacy and proximity to the falls, without the scale of the larger Livingstone properties.
Known for: landmarks, local immersion, seclusion.
