About Taita Falcon Lodge
Upon arrival at Livingstone Airport, you will be transferred to Taita Falcon Lodge—a secluded retreat located 230m above the Zambezi river. For the next 3 nights, enjoy a perfect balance of tranquility and thrill. Relax on the lodge’ property or head into Victoria Falls to experience everything from the ‘Flight of Angels’ and white-water rafting to river cruises
Close to Vic Falls
Enjoy the best of both worlds: quiet, intimate evenings at the lodge combined with easy access to world-famous activities, including the Devil’s Pool, White Water Rafting, and Sunset Cruises.
On-site activities
The lodge is a haven for birdwatchers, named after the rare Taita Falcon that nests in the cliffs nearby. Guided hikes into the gorge allow you to experience the sheer scale of the landscape on foot.
Breathtaking Gorge Views
Every chalet and the main dining deck offer panoramic view of the Zambezi River.
DAY 4 – 8

Exceptional Tiger Fishing:
With exclusive access to a stretch of river featuring rapids, deep pools, and islands, you’ll have the opportunity of fishing for Tigerfish using aluminium boats under the guidance of our fishing guides.
Beyond the Rod:
When not fishing, you’ll be able to visit the Sioma Falls (the Zambezi’s second-largest waterfall), swim in natural “jacuzzis” or enjoy G&Ts on the rocks.
Open-Air Living
The unique chalets are completely open to the river, allowing the sounds of the water and the African night to flow through your room. It is the ultimate “immersive” wilderness stay
