Old Drift Lodge was the perfect start to our family Africa trip. The accommodations were superior, including outdoor shower, tub and plunge pool. The food was delicious and management and staff went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. Our guides, Fanuel and Richard were outstanding, spotting hyenas, elephants, zebras, giraffes and the mighty dung beetle in the bush, and on our river safaris hippos, crocodiles, baboons and more. The included tour of Victoria Falls and meal at the Lookout Cafe were another highlight. 5 Stars!

The Elephant Camp is absolutely fabulous and the people were so hospitable. 10/10 no notes. I would recommend this lodge to anyone planning a trip to Zimbabwe. Hope was the lodge manager who helped us throughout our stay, and he is delightful. He planned our whole itinerary and everything was perfect.

We loved this family trip. We had a luxury family tent and it was beautiful, spacious and equipped with 2 bathrooms and AC. The small plunge pool was perfect for cooling off in the late afternoon sun. Meeting the elephants was a highlight for our family but all of our activities were fun for the entire family. Marshall was our main liaison and he was exceptional! We were even gifted elephant ornaments on Xmas morning.

It’s the perfect location. Animals are literally outside your door - both land and water animals! Sunrise & sunset cruises were fabulous, as well as the safari rides. Service & food were both exceptional. We really enjoyed our stay, Highly recommend.

I am privileged to have traveled to a lot of global destinations, for 40 plus years. Old Drift Lodge was exceptional at every level, we simply loved it. The all inclusive aspect was brilliant, morning and night we were off on adventures. The Staff were fantastic our Ranger/Guide who was allocated to us was a delight. Elephants drinking water from our private pool and hippos munching grass in front of our bedroom just added to the experience. An Airline scheduled change made us lose one of our 5 nights, so the only regret was we could only stay 4 nights, you do need 5.

Secluded tent-chalets on the banks of Zambezi. Elephants by the pool (not always), hippos in the water. Hospitality as splendid as the surroundings.

Old Drift Lodge was spectacular. The staff did everything possible to make our stay perfect. The accommodations are top scale. The food was incredible. Our river tours and game drives were guided by Jeremiah, who was wonderful and shared so much of his knowledge with us. We couldn’t ask for a better experience.

Impeccable lodge with friendly staff and outstanding facilities set in the most beautiful place on earth! 5 stars all round for setting, hospitality and amenities. The exhilarating boat cruise in to the lodge is an accurate forebear to the days ahead. Will definitely return!
