This is one of the few places you can see the rare white Rhino. You may also see Giraffe, Buffalo, Zebra, Sable, Eland, Wildebeest and migrating Elephants, often wallowing in shallow pools near the banks of the Zambezi River.
Sussi Lodge is a luxury lodge set on a sweeping bend of the Zambezi River, just 10 minutes upstream from the falls themselves. Guest accommodations consist of 10 luxury tree-houses, built into the living canopy of giant ebony trees lining the bank. Each unit has a private view of the Zambezi from its own deck set among the branches. The main lodge building features a spectacular raised bar and lounge deck, open air dining area, swimming pool and lawns sweeping down to the water’s edge where resident wildlife, such as hippopotamus and elephant often wander through on their way in and out of the park.
After lunch, you may depart on an afternoon game drive in the park, go for a swim, even try your hand at fishing, or relax on your deck watching the river with a cool drink. Dinner is served in the dining area or under the stars next to the bonfire.

Part of the park is sprinkled with reed islands, which provide refuge and food for many of the animals here. These waters are a focal point for Elephant, Hippo, Buffalo, Zebra, Lion, Leopard, various antelope species, plus Baboon, Vervet Monkeys and an amazing array of birds. Activities include day and night game drives, walking excursions, fishing, canoeing and boating safaris, which bring you very close to the elephants along the banks or the Zambezi and to the hippos and croc’s in the water.

The camp only has 8 spacious tents set on raised teak decking at the river’s edge, with twin beds, mosquito nets, en-suite facilities, solar heated water and a private veranda.

The Park is also noted for its big game species particularly Leopard, Lion and Elephant and a whole host of antelope species.
Your stay here will be at the Chichele Presidential Safari Lodge, formerly a private Presidential retreat, Chichele (pronounce to rhyme with belly) occupies one of the most breathtaking sites in the entire park. In order to exploit the wonderful floodplain vistas offered by the site, 10 elegant Victorian style lodges are built along the edge of the hillside, each giving guests a private panoramic view. Quality furnishings and 5 star service make this truly one of the top safari lodges on the continent.
