Songwe Village
Country: | |
ZAMBIA | | Location: | | | | Description: | | Songwe Village is located on 300 acres of private land 5 kilometers (3 miles) downstream from Victoria Falls in Zambia; one of the 7 natural wonders of the natural world. The property adjoins the world heritage site and is only 11 kilometers (7 miles) from Victoria Falls in Zambia.
Songwe Village is built to resemble a traditional village and the atmosphere is just as peaceful. The calm and relaxation at your Zambia accommodation will calm you; and as the time slows down to African time you will too. Songwe has 8 guest huts in an oval pattern, each named after past chiefs of the Mukuni people for your Zambia accommodation.
Your exposure to African culture will be subtle and interesting and tailored to suit your interests – Songwe Village is not a cultural show. The huts at Songwe's Zambia accommodation are spacious with tasteful traditional furniture enhanced by modern comfortable mattresses to ensure a good nights sleep.
Each hut at Songwe's Zambia accommodation has an en-suite flush loo and basin. The showers and baths are set on the edge of the Batoka gorge, 110 metres above the lower Zambezi River, enabling the best bathroom views in the world.
Bathing will be a highlight of your Zambia accommodation at Songwe. While the atmosphere and appearance is traditional, the experience gives you an intimate camp in a private area with personal service.

Songwe Village has been developed with the support and assistance of Senior Chief Mukuni of the nearby Mukuni village. This 700-year-old village is home to the Tokoleya people who have a long history in the area and for whom Victoria Falls in Zambia are a sacred and essential element in their culture.
Straddling the borders of Zambia and Zimbabwe, the majestic Victoria Falls captivates visitors from all over the world. The grandeur and beauty of this extraordinary natural phenomenon must be seen to be believed. Coming to the Victoria Falls in Zambia is the experience of a lifetime.
