Songwe Village is located on 300 acres of private land 5km downstream from the Victoria Falls, one of the 7 natural wonders of the natural world.  The property adjoins the world heritage site and is only 11km (7 miles) from the Victoria Falls. 

Songwe Village is on the Zambia side of the Zambezi River and perched 300 feet above the deeply incised and rugged Batoka gorge.

Songwe Village has been developed with the support and assistance of Senior Chief Mukuni of the nearby Mukuni village.  This 700-year-old village is home to the Tokoleya people who have a long history in the area and for whom the Falls are a sacred and essential element in their culture.  Just like these people, the Victoria Falls forms an integral part of the Songwe Village experience.

Songwe Village is built to resemble a traditional village and the atmosphere is just as peaceful, calm and relaxed as the local villages – time slows down to African time and so will you.  Songwe has 8 guest huts in an oval pattern, each named after past chiefs of the Mukuni people. While the atmosphere and appearance is traditional, the experience lives up to the Kwando Safaris motto  - Intimate camps in private areas with personal service – vintage Africa.  Our staff will ensure that you enjoy all that the Falls has to offer in their personal style.

Songwe Village guarantees that you will enjoy your stay.  Having chosen Songwe Village as your base from which to explore this exciting destination will enhance your experience of the Victoria Falls.  Livingstone – the local town on the Zambian side of the Falls – is not know as the adventure capital of Africa for nothing.  However, your experience can be one of relaxation and peace, or adrenalin and excitement or even a bit of both. As always with Kwando Safaris – you get to choose!

Your exposure to African culture will be subtle and interesting and tailored to suit your interests – Songwe Village is not a cultural show.  The huts are spacious with tasteful traditional furniture enhanced by modern comfortable mattresses to ensure a good nights sleep. Each hut has a flush loo and basin en suite.  The showers and baths are set on the edge of the Batoka gorge, 110metres above the lower Zambezi River – enabling us to claim that we have the best bathroom views in the world.  Bathing will be a highlight of your stay with us.
