Masuwe Lodge

I stayed at Masuwe Lodge as part of the Mindful Safari program and it was one of the best experiences ever. Everything about Masuwe Lodge was first class, from the location (who else can say they can look over a balcony and see elephants, giraffes, buffalo, baboons and vervet monkeys?) , to the accommodation, the staff, the food, the game drives, absolutely everything!! I have already been recommending Masuwe Lodge to friends in Australia who are thinking of travelling to this part of Africa. Fingers crossed I’ll be able to come back to Zimbabwe again and, I know when I do, I’ll be headed back to my home away from home, Masuwe Lodge.

If you’re planning a trip to Victoria Falls during your safari, don't miss an opportunity to stay at Masuwe Lodge. Casius and his staff were incredibly friendly and hospitable. This all-inclusive safari lodge is charming, very comfortable and well-equipped with amenities. The service was excellent, and the food was outstanding. Although our time there was short, it was truly memorable. Thank you to the team at Masuwe Lodge for making this a wonderful vacation!

We had a lovely 2 night stay at Masuwe lodge. We were warmly welcomed by the staff and the host Cassius was very friendly and helpful in arranging excursions and taking us into Victoria Falls as well as a tour of the town. All of the staff were lovely and the meals prepared by Chef Prosper were delicious. The lodge tents were great with a very comfortable bed, air-con, overhead fan, fridge and a deck. It was wonderful whilst eating dinner on the main area deck to watch the elephants at the Masuwe watering hole. We saw many different animals on the game drive we went on in Chamabonda National park which was organised for us by Cassius.

At Masuwe Lodge, we were wrapped in luxury and tradition, greeted warmly with lively drums and dances, symbolizing the vibrant spirit of Victoria Falls. Our rooms were a picture of elegance, with balconies showcasing breathtaking views and the beautiful details, such as large, immaculate beds, spoke volumes about the care put into our comfort. The sight of elephants and a majestic giant eagle owl from the deck was enchanting. The staff, with their warmth and sharing of local games, made us feel like family, and the exquisite local cuisine was a delight, making our stay a beautiful mosaic of unforgettable moments.

Masuwe Lodge is a timeless place. Perfectly immersed in the bush on the border of the Zambezi national park, it stands out for the extraordinary kindness and helpfulness of the staff, the beauty of the rooms from which it is possible to see many wild animals within walking distance (e.g. elephants, baboons, buffaloes) and the 'excellent food of the chef who prepared delicious breakfasts and dinners for us. It's the perfect place to spend a few days at Victoria Falls without the tourist chaos of downtown. Furthermore, from Masuwe it is possible to do safari in the Zambezi park whose entrance is less than 10 minutes from the hotel. Special mention to the availability and kindness of the owner. Strongly recommended!

My daughter recently had her wedding at Masuwe Lodge. We are from Canada and flew over for this beautiful event. She had help with organizing from a local wedding planner. Approximately 18 people were there at Masuwe for 2 nights. Location is wonderful. Not far from town, but you feel secluded. As we drove up to the lodge, there were many elephants crossing the path in front of us. Very special. The tented rooms were so nice (not like any tent I've ever been in.) Beautiful beds, heater, lovely bathroom /shower area. Small fridge/desk chair. Also had a deck with 2 comfortable chairs to sit and relax on if you wanted. The grounds are lovely maintained. The pool area, and eating area, bar/coffee bar are inviting and comfortable. The view was also a great area to look out over and if lucky you would see elephant at the watering hole. The food was amazing. Staff were extremely helpful, as was the manager. He was always around making sure that people had what they needed. We even were able to sit around by a fire the night before the wedding to relax and be with family. There is absolutely no criticism of this lodge. And I have to say it was a beautiful space for a wedding. There was a driver to take the wedding party out in a Safari vehicle to have photos taken. Fantastic. Every family member that stayed there absolutely loved this place and the weekend. We all would highly recommend.
