Old Drift Lodge took care of us from start to end. We had one guide for our group of 4 during our stay. Jeremiah is welcoming (as is everyone there), knowledgeable, full of pride sharing his country, friendly and with a great sense of humor. The accomodations are amazing as are all the opportunities to see wild animals in their habitat. Would go back without hesitation!

We stayed for 4 nights and it was wonderful. A few things to know. Everything is included in the price of your room. I booked and didn’t do any follow up research, until their office person Paty informed me the day before we arrived. So your airport transfers, game drives, ride to town or Victoria Falls all included. Also all meals including a lunch at the Lookout Cafe, owned by the same company, included. You are billed $30 per person for entry to Victoria Falls. They handle this at check out. However have lots of small dollars for tips. They have a “tip box” for all staff which you can leave one big tip, or as we preferred we tipped individuals. You are limited to get change for a $20 or a $50, so bring lots of $1 and $5 for everything from housekeeping to transportation to/from airport. They even do your laundry at no charge. They handle all the excursions. The activity director (don’t forget to tip) asks you daily what you would like to do for the next day and sets it up. Don’t forget the chef Coco. She is wonderful. The staff is the best in the business. The rooms were divine. Be sure to allow time to relax in your room and on your riverside deck. The afternoon we chilled in our room and on our deck, we had an entire elephant family, including babies pay us a visit. Also in the area, but not covered by the Lodge is the Elephant and cheetah experience. We rode elephants and had cheetahs sit on our lap. $500 for 2. Pricey but you only live once! Great trip!

It doesn’t just « looks » inviting. It’s totally and definitely one of a kind.The accommodation is well-thought and all details are covered.

The place is lovely, accommodations are super, food is delicious and, last but not least, the staff is highly professional, helpful and warm. Cherry on the cake!The perfect spot with the most beautiful views at sunrise and sunset right on the Zambezi River...Pure magic...

Old Drift absolutely exceeded our expectations. The setting is so peaceful and full of wildlife. We will never forget waking to the bellowing of hippos, laughing at the monkeys from our deck, watching the adorable warthogs at lunch, and that hilarious planter-destroying elephant who came calling at dinner. The design of the rooms is a cut above "glamping," even at its very finest. Such a fun luxury to shower/bathe outdoors, on the banks of the Zambezi, and to sleep with the tent rustling overhead. The decor felt authentic, wonderfully retro, calming and luxurious. The outings were terrific and we had our own assigned guide. The entire staff is outstanding, sometimes anticipating our desires before we even knew them ourselves. We always felt so welcome and pampered. Our stay was magical!
