Taita Falcon Lodge  

Perched above the Zambezi River in Livingstone, this secluded wilderness retreat sits downriver from Victoria Falls and 15 km from the city center. You're close to Victoria Falls Field Museum, Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, Devil's Pool and the Victoria Falls Bridge. River-view, cliff-top vibes for travelers who want quiet and wild scenery.

Winding stone paths, a garden and a boma link the main lodge, pool and private chalets.
