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 marvelous 3-night stay at Masuwe Lodge in April 2024. From the moment we arrived, we were treated like honored guests. Major domo Cass and his team took care of us in style, arranging a trip to the falls, a sunset river cruise, safari drives in Zambezi National Park, and a walking safari on the Lodge property. Food was excellent, which we enjoyed while overlooking the water hole where elephants, antelope, and baboons were frequent visitors. Coming from USA, we were a little nervous wiring our reservation payment to Zimbabwe, but everything was fine. So glad we booked here!

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.

The tented rooms are so well designed. They have every convenience and are secluded with a wonderful view. My family were well treated by the staff and the food was exceptional. Everyday had a new treat with wildlife, buffaloes, elephant and bushbuck were the most frequent to the waterhole. The manager was helpful with organizing outings and experiences for us. Thanks for a lovely time.

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.

After nigh on 24 hours of travelling door to door from UK we wanted somewhere peaceful and away from the constant helicopters to start our visit to Zimbabwe and Masuwe is certainly the place. Only 15 minutes drive from town but out in the bush with fantastic views across the trees looking down on the baboons and elephants and eye to eye with the weaver birds. The manager, Cassius Tembo, is a real gem. Our UK agent, Audley Travel, had arranged the trip and recommended Masuwe and they were right. We had a list of things to do and see in Victoria Falls but there were some details to be clarified with local arrangers and Cassius took this in hand and sorted the lot. Highly organised and knowing everyone he made the little worries we had just vanish. Then he drove us to the various places at the times arranged and made sure that we were looked after and was there to pick us up afterwards. Plus he made suggestions for improvements and that paid off as well. The tents were excellent and the bed very comfortable and much needed after the journey. The programme for the trip gave us two nights in Victoria Falls and having been rushed from one amazing sight to another I think we should have had three just to give a little more time to relax. The other benefit of Masuwe was the impressive chef, the best of the three camps we visited. My lady is vegetarian and he produced inventive and very well presented dishes for both of us. Visiting in late May the whole town was quiet but everyone we talked to said that bookings were looking good for the coming seasons. And many locals said ‘thank you for coming’. And, of course, the Falls were just tremendous.
