THE MIGHTY ZAMBEZI, ZAMBIA R oyal Zambezi Lodge and The River Club have collaborated on a new joint itinerary, showcasing the very best of Zambia. Both properties are located right on the mighty Zambezi River, with an easy connection between both properties thanks to a new direct flight between Lower Zambezi and Livingstone.

Our favourite of the moment is the surftastic Soul Arch, located in the heart of Plettenberg Bay, a stone’s throw from the most gorgeous local beach. The design is inspired by an Australian wooden beach house, with recycled timber, bright Madagascan prints, big full moon lights and an indigenous garden.
