Taita Falcon Lodge
Located just 11km from the world-famous Victoria Falls and perched on the edge of the Batoka Gorge, high above the mighty Zambezi River, the exclusive Taita Falcon Lodge provides a unique location and offers its guests the height of luxury, amidst beautiful surroundings. Paths weave through native bush and gardens from the Lodges central living area, viewing deck and pool to your secluded chalet.
Seven delightful en-suite chalets, constructed using naturally occurring materials from the surrounding area, give a taste of authenticity without compromising on comfort. Great care and attention has gone into the chalet design and furnishings. To complement the spacious bedroom and living area, each room has a large en-suite bathroom providing guests with all the amenities for an enjoyable stay. Each room also enjoys the benefit of a it's own secluded sun garden, complete with outdoor shower for a 'close to nature' moments.
The soft furnishings are carefully coordinated with furniture which is made using indigenous materials by local craftsmen. The reed walls of the chalet are at three-quarter height but can be raised to the full height if required. There are mosquito nets on all beds and coils are used in the evenings. During the cooler months, hot water bottles are used in the beds for cosy warmth.
The gardens around the lodge are a colourful blend of indigenous plants with an abundance of birdlife including Vereaux (Black) Eagles, Peregrine Falcons and the lodge’s namesake – the rare and beautiful Taita Falcon.
All in all, Taita Falcon Lodge provides a perfect haven for relaxing in a luxurious, yet friendly environment. A unique departure from typical hotel fare, the lodge’s focus is on quality and providing guests with a unique and unforgettable African experience.
