Mpala Jena Lodge, Zimbabwe
An exclusive wildlife-filled hideaway just a jaunt away from Victoria Falls




Without-doubt one of the most exciting developments in Zimbabwe in recent years, this wildly remote tented camp on the banks of the Zambezi River – within a private concession of Zambezi National Park (just over an hour’s drive from Victoria Falls) – facilitates exclusive access to not only the land’s untamed bush but also pioneering conservation, as well as the requisite luxuries to soak it all in. Containing a mere five tents, the resort’s hospitality is extremely personal and catered to only the most discerning of travellers. Suites, each elegantly positioned under the dappled shade of indigenous trees, provide sumptuous amenities like private plunge pools and viewing decks. Adding to the opulence is the restaurant’s well-appointed wine cellar, in addition to a range of unique treks that take guests through the giraffe, elephant and lion-filled plains or to the majestic Victoria Falls.
