Old Drift Lodge Overview

Elegant riverside lodge blending classic safari charm luxurious tents gourmet dining and views

Old Drift was the first settlement of white pioneers close to one of the world’s natural wonders, the Victoria Falls. Today, the location of the former outpost is home to a beautiful lodge by the same name. Walk into the main area of Old Drift Lodge and you will find open spaces, modern décor and most importantly beautiful views over the tremendous Zambezi River. The property lies on the banks of one of Africa’s most important lifelines and is hugely popular with hippos, elephants and crocs. Expect to see these wild visitors only metres away, especially elephants love to come roam between the suites and the main lodge in search of fresh vegetation – or the water in your private plunge pool.

Lunch at the Lookout Cafe – Including drinks

Guests have the option to enjoy a lunch at the Lookout Café, inclusive of drinks. This can be booked in conjunction with the Tour of the Falls or for the adrenalin lovers, after they have taken part in any of the high wire activities that take place at the “Lookout”.

Guided Tour of the Falls – Zimbabwe (Excluding Rainforest Entry Fees)

A guided tour of “the Victoria Falls” is included in the nightly rate, but excludes park fees which are payable direct. This can be booked in conjunction with a lunch at the Lookout Café.

Africa has an air of romance that sets her apart from anywhere else in the world. However, it is upon stepping into the Victoria Falls rainforest that guests are truly swept off their feet. There is no finer ambience than the gentle roar of the waterfall. The trees grow so closely together that their branches entwine, and their soft, wet drip across the stone path that weaves through this natural wonder. Submerge yourself in the fragrance of the fauna and the playful fauna in this enchanting and awe-inspiring space. A guided tour is included in the nightly rate, excluding park fees. Satisfy your wanderlust by visiting the more beautiful of the Seven Wonders of the World.

On our first African Safari, I booked our Zimbabwe portion through Where To Africa Experiences - this was one of the best decisions I made on the entire trip.

I took 13 people to Victoria Falls for 3 nights and had a trip with Where To Africa. They made everything very easy, and the payment process was straightforward.
