FAQs



The accommodation at Water Lodge offers harmonious sophistication, in true CCA style. The lodge comprises three separate, exclusive camps with six superior air-conditioned suites. At Water Lodge, the vast teak doors of each of the 18 suites - even those of the en suite bathroom - swing open to command sweeping views of the broad river. Indoor and outdoor showers offer refreshing alternatives to a bath. Plunge pools on the private decks, shaded by Mangosteen and Waterberry trees, make for a truly indulgent experience. Guards accompany you to and from your suite at night.

The Pondo beer basket from South Africa is unusual because it is the only basket weaving known to be done by men in Africa. The baskets are used for traditional beer and are so tightly woven that they are watertight.

Covering 500m of Matetsi's 15km Zambezi River frontage, Water Lodge gives you total exposure to this mighty river.

		Each of the three camps is located on the banks of the Zambezi River under a canopy of sheltering trees. Matetsi Water Lodge opens directly onto the great Zambezi River. Central guest areas consist of lounge and covered dining areas overlooking the mighty Zambezi. A well-stocked curio shop is found at the main reception.
