The River Club: Included Activities

INCLUDED ACTIVITIES

The following activities are operated by The River Club and are included in your inclusive rate.  There is a charge for these activities ONLY for those staying with us on a non-inclusive dinner, bed and breakfast tariff.

Tour of Victoria Falls – Just half an hour’s drive from The River Club are the mighty Victoria Falls – known by the locals as ‘Mosi–oa-Tunya’ or ’The smoke that thunders’ as the spray and the sound of The Falls can be seen and heard from many miles away.  The Zambian side of the falls provide a completely different vantage from that of the Zimbabwean side and during high water levels is definitely the best place to be.  N.B.  We provide umbrellas, but in certain areas you could still get soaked, and unprotected cameras will get wet.  Towels await you in the vehicle. There is a good curio market here for any interested shoppers.  It is advisable to carry a jumper or anorak as the journey may be in an open vehicle. Allow approximately one to one and a half hours at The Falls.

The Sunset Cruise  - At around 5pm, walk down to the riverbank to board our boat for a leisurely sundowner cruise up the Zambezi.  When the Captain sees fit, he will switch off the engine and let you drift silently downstream passing the odd elephant, hippo or croc and an abundance of colourful bird life. Enjoy the snacks and drinks provided. The sunsets are particularly beautiful during the dry months.  It is wise to take a jersey or anorak as an evening breeze can be chilly. Don’t forget your camera and binoculars too. The trip arrives back at The Club just after sunset!

African Village Tour – A short drive takes you to a typical local village where you will be shown all aspects of African village life. This is a not a tourist ‘set up’. It is an authentic village where you will see life as it really is in rural Africa.  Allow approximately one hour at the village.

Game Drives – The highlight of a game-viewing trip in the Mosi-Oa-Tunga Zoological Park is the chance of seeing a White Rhino, probably the only remaining ones in Zambia! The park is home to a wide variety of animals including giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, impala, elephants and buffalo, but if you spot a lion or a leopard, you may have had too much wine at lunch as there are no big cats in this park. Drives are approximately three hours long.

Fishing Trips – After breakfast take a leisurely stroll down to the boat where The Club’s fishing tackle and bait is already waiting for you. A cooler box of drinks and mineral water is available on the boat. Fishing trips return to The Club before lunch. Please ensure you have a hat and sunscreen with you.

Running Track – There is a2.5km running track around the property and it is well sign posted. The yellow route is slight shorter (2km) and the red route is (2.5km). Open between sun rise and sun set.

Wellness Centre – Enjoy the facilities of the sports equipment, sauna and Jacuzzi at the Princess Mary Wellness Centre. Open Between 06:30 – 9:00 hours, 13:00 – 14:00 hours and then 17:00 – 19:00 hours daily.
