Tongabezi accommodates a maximum of 18 guests either in four luxurious Houses or five River Cottages.

The four Houses are set into a large riverine stand of mature ebony and acacia trees on the downstream side of the main lodge.

The five River Cottages are well spaced on the Zambezi shoreline between the main lodge and Ben and Vanessa's private residence at Tangala.

The Honeymoon House

~ Worth getting married for! ~

The Honeymoon House is so-called because it was Tongabezi’s first house (each of the houses is built with romance and indulgence in mind).

A private balcony overlooking the river is the perfect setting for a romantic dinner under the stars, alternatively guests can choose to dine with other guests on one of the river decks at the main lodge.

The Tree House

~hewn into the cliff face, with panoramic river views ~

Each of the four houses is made and furnished with local materials and designed to complement and enhance the natural surroundings, whilst creating a feeling of intimacy and privacy.

The Dog House

~ at the water's edge ~

The Bird House

~ perched on the hill top ~

Sweeping views over the Zambezi River are a feature of every house but the Bird House tops them all.

Great attention has been paid to the bathroom areas and a special feature is the huge open-air sunken bath in every room, where one can unwind to the serenades of an African evening.

The Tongabezi River Cottages

Tongabezi includes five River Cottages situated along the Zambezi river bank. The River Cottages have a large double bed or two singles, mosquito net, en-suite bath and shower.  Each River Cottage includes both indoor and outdoor areas for relaxing, dining and enjoying the expansive river views.
