Victoria Falls Operators - taita falcon lodge

Perched above Rapid 17 on the very edge of the Batoka Gorge, Taita Falcon offers superb views of the raging Zambezi waters 220m below. Taita Falcon Lodge offers its guests the height of luxury set amidst the natural bush environment of the Batoka Gorge.

A unique departure from the typical hotel style, the Lodge’s focus is on quality personal service, uncompromising comfort and providing guests with an unforgettable African experience. Owner managed, the flexibility of your hosts and their willingness to accommodate the wishes of each individual guest, ensures a special home-from-home experience for every guest. Our resident Vereaux (Black) Eagles can be envied as they soar by at eye level, along with a host of other raptors regularly sighted at the Lodge.

Sit back, relax, and enjoy the grandeur of the Zambezi and the African bush from a different point of view! Located away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist throng, Taita Falcon Lodge is the perfect place to enjoy all the excitement and action of the Victoria Falls whilst retaining the essential peace and tranquillity of a remote African Lodge in the wildest of settings.

The setting is as natural as the furnishings and decor, which have been crafted by local tribesmen from indigenous materials. The gardens are a colourful blend of indigenous plants and are a bird watcher’s paradise with over 210 birds identified including, of course, the rare Taita Falcon.
