35 minutes from Livingstone in a lovely, secluded position on the banks of the spectacular Zambezi River with views to the Zambezi National Park on the opposite bank. This small, friendly, informal lodge is famous for its staff, food, gardens and tranquil riverbank setting. Within easy reach of Victoria Falls but away from all the hustle and bustle of Livingstone it’s a perfect base for visiting the amazing Falls and enjoying the wide range of activities around Livingstone before heading off to explore wonderful Zambia.

The main double-storey lodge building overlooks the Zambezi and the game park on the opposite bank. Upstairs the lounge is open to the thatch with comfortable seating, magnificent views, books, and an unusual collection of old African maps.

Waterberry’s seven cottages are set around sweeping gardens and lawns – some on the riverbank, some overlooking the private lake with its beautiful birdlife.

You will feel at home from the moment you arrive at Baines River Camp, a luxurious and intimate safari lodge, set on the northern banks of the Zambezi River amid Tamarind and Jackalberry trees. A refreshing drink and a warm smile greet you in the Selous Bar on your arrival and “African time” automatically takes over. The Zambezi is in no hurry, nor should you be…

Baines River Camp has been designed to accommodate most travellers, from families with young children, friends travelling together and honeymoon couples, to the single safari enthusiast, passionate photographers, corporate groups and intimate wedding parties.

You will find Baines River Camp in Zambia’s Lower Zambezi Valley, an authentic safari area where fences and tarred roads do not exist. With Africa’s fourth largest river on your doorstep, land and water based game viewing activities on offer, exquisite accommodation, breath-taking sunsets, a passionate team to look after you and the gentle safari style that is so typical to Zambia, Baines River Camp is the right choice for your stay in the African bush with as many first-world comforts as possible.
