"Waterbury was an excellent choice and we were so glad for Amanda to recommend this to us.

We stayed at the farmhouse service was outstanding. The food was outstanding.

Would highly recommend this staying in the Livingstone area." See all these reviews: 9n in Zambia

"Unfortunately, due to my flight being cancelled, I spent very little time at Waterberry Lodge, and all of it in the dark.

However, the staff were marvellous during the process of me being delayed, as they were when I finally arrived, doing their best to ease my concerns/stress and making new arrangements to visit the falls.

The tent was lovely and had everything you could wish for (even an electric blanket!) and the dinner that I had there was excellent." See all these reviews: 12n in Zambia

"A welcome calm in a super position overlooking the Zambezi River allowing us to relax after our flights. On arrival the staff immediately took over the details relating to the retrieval of our delayed luggage on our behalf.
We were looked after by Cecilia for our stay. She was attentive without being oppressive and had a lovely disposition ensuring we had everything we needed.

The food was delicious and well presented throughout.

We were fortunate that we were the only people in the woodland tents so all was quiet and very private. We had all we needed and were very comfortable. Our fridge was full of soft drinks with a good variety, especially good for us as ‘non drinkers’.

We enjoyed a sundowner trip on the river from which we saw a good variety of wildlife with a super guide and excellent snacks, including probably the best spare ribs I have ever eaten.

Our visit to the local school was very informative and was led by the head teacher, Bridget. We were amazed by just how many students and classrooms there were and also how innovative they are being to be self sufficient with their huge vegetable garden, fish farm, piggery and new chicken coop. The children were happy and as the older ones were doing exams the younger pupils went off to do sporting activities to allow a quiet environment. The computer suite was impressive and carefully looked after.

We only agreed to visit after being assured that the pupils would not be put on show, as we have unfortunately seen elsewhere, and we could see that their education was paramount here, a credit to Waterberry and the staff.

We visited Livingstone museum and Victoria falls with Aaron who had all the knowledge that was required and presented it in a user friendly and pleasant manner. He also took us to a couple of shops to allow us to buy some necessities resulting from our delayed luggage and was very helpful.

We would highly recommend Waterberry." See all these reviews: 13n in Zambia

"Waterberry Lodge has a lovely setting on the Zambezi River. Staff are friendly, accommodating, and professional. I enjoyed the peaceful sunrise and sunset boat rides on the river, with the dock being a few steps from the main area and my riverfront room, and the sightings special. Meals were great, with enormous portions. I was pleased to have stayed there, although it is a bit of a long drive to Victoria Falls and the airports. On the day I visited Victoria Falls, I opted to add a white rhino walk and a tour of a nearby village." See all these reviews: 7n in Botswana; 2n in Zambia

"Wonderful 2 night stay. Enjoyed the relaxed, friendly atmosphere.

Allocated a riverview room, which was amazing and were treated to a private celebratory dinner on our terrace on the first night.

Staff were amazing and the lodge's contributions to the local community are superb." See all these reviews: 11n in Botswana; 6n in South Africa; 2n in Namibia; 2n in Zambia

"A very relaxing and well kept lodge. Great location near the river. Gardens were amazing.

Its not really somewhere that I would recommend for a full-on safari but having said that we saw plenty of wildlife, especially on the excellent river trips. And the birdlife was superb." See all these reviews: 6n in Botswana; 3n in Zambia

"I am glad we picked Waterberry even though it was a little bit of a drive to the falls. It was a beautiful lodge and the rooms were fantastic. We really enjoyed the sunset cruise! The day at the falls (Zimbabwe and Zambia) was exceptional and we even added Devils Pool. I think that is maybe too dangerous? But we did it!" See all these reviews: 9n in Zambia

"Waterberry was beautiful and welcoming. We were only there a short time, so we didn’t have too much time to explore all they had to offer. The food was delicious.

We went on a trip to Victoria Falls, they were beautiful and it was exactly what we were looking for. Our guide was very kind, but it was clear he was not as experienced or knowledgeable as other guides we’d had elsewhere.

We also did the evening cruise on the Zambezi, which was better than expected. It was just us and one other couple, our guide Weddy showed us all the different birds on the bank, we saw a number of crocs and spent a long time just watching a family of baboons. It was a beautiful and relaxing way to spend our final night in Zambia." See all these reviews: 8n in Zambia
