Tongabezi is a truly authentic African house on the banks of one of the continents mightiest and most iconic rivers. The Zambezi River is most famous as the river that feeds the tumultuous Victoria Falls, known as Mosi-oa-Tunya, which translates as 'the smoke that thunders' - an appropriate name that perfectly describes the crashing falls and the eerie vapour that rises up around them. The house is privately owned and run so a heartfelt, intimate experience can be guaranteed; every detail is covered with immaculate precision, from your welcome, to the fine cuisine, to your turndown service each night. Tongabezi takes its influence from the soul of Africa: even its name is derived from the local people and the river.
