Gorges Lodge
Gorges Lodge, is a retreat away from the buzz and rush of the busy Victoria Falls village. It's in a unique position atop of, and overhangs, the escarpment of the Zambezi River, flowing 864 ft beneath it. It's a few miles from Victoria Falls, so if you want a bit of action, it's a short (but lengthy) drive to the frenetic pace of the tourist town. It is far enough to avoid over-friendly touristy happy snappy types invading your space. For the most part, our guests come to Gorges to get away, getaway, getaway… and be far away, from pace.

It's Private
Gorges' is a great place for weddings or Honeymooners because it is private; ten stone lodges lie ten miles from Victoria Falls & lies overlooking the Great Zambezi River, close on a thousand feet below. All rooms are apart, in an idyllic garden forest with clear views of the River. One may disappear for an entire week and not be noticed if that's your purpose. It's wonderful for family get together occasions and small business conferences too (10 couples only).

Au Naturelle
Gorges' is a fairyland of riverine vegetation reminding one of Tales of Harry Potter. Everything is just too impossibly grand. The scale of vista, precarious position of the Lodge overhanging the precipice, and centuries old fig trees that lie gnarled & twisted overlooking the chasm below. It leaves one nothing short of breathless. It's inhabited by a stupendous number flora & fauna that invite one to be as one: with nature. This area boasts no less than 453 species of birds, 32 greater & lesser mammals & 2,100 plants.


Morning Song, Evening Light
Mornings are a cacophony of bird calls that herald dawn until mid-morning when they grow quiet. That is, until dusk brings breathtaking washes of sunset painted perfectly by the Almighty's hand. At that time, it's as if on the prompt of an maestro conductor, he brings birds to resume singing as if only after a pause. They and sing, and sing their farewell to the day: until the lonely Nightjar calls, " Wheeet, wheet Woorrrrrrrrrr. Wheeet, wheet Woorrrrrrrrrr. When night falls completely, the starlit heavens emerge un-shrouded. And even he, the lonely Nightjar grows quiet, leaving as if he were the only bird in the night. Close by are nests of the Brown Eagle and the rare Tiger Falcon that lie resting in the evening as all good birds do.
