LOCATION

Tamarindtree Zambezi River Lodge is situated on the Northern Bank of the Zambezi River in the Zambezi Valley.

The Lodge is directly opposite the magnificent Redcliff's.  Approximately 6 kilometers west from the Lodge lies the wild and relatively undeveloped Lower Zambezi National Park which includes Mpata Gorge, a world renowned Tigerfish area. 25 Kilometers east from the Lodge are the upper reaches of Cahora Bassa Dam which continues to grow in popularity as a fishing destination.

We guarantee that guests will experience the beauty of the Zambian bush in seclusion, as the remoteness of the Lodge site contributes to the spirit of "Real Africa".
