Old Drift's Rich History

Around 1898, the Old Drift was used as a crossing point over the Zambezi River between what was then Southern and Northern Rhodesia (today Zimbabwe and Zambia), where the early explorers and traders would push goods and livestock across the shallow channel.

As the closest lodge within the National Park to Victoria Falls, Old Drift offers quick and easy access to Victoria Falls town, its wonderful restaurants, exciting activities and mesmerising art galleries and curio markets.

Old Drift Lodge was the most perfect location and lodge for our family in Victoria Falls! The tents are well appointed, spacious and have all the amenities you could ever need and more! There was space for each of us to enjoy and relax.

This lodge is fantastic!! From the accommodations to the excellent staff—you can’t do better. On a recent four day stay, we took advantage of all they have to offer. We experienced game drives, a trip to Vic Falls, the overlook restaurant, a river cruise at sunset and our favorite: a walking game drive.

We stayed for 3 nights at Old Drift and end enjoyed every moment. The games drives were beautiful and informative. We saw elephants, giraffes, zebras, kudus and many other animals within the Zambezi National Park. The dining was very good and they could accommodate special requests.
