The Wallow Lodge is an intimate safari retreat set along the banks of the Masuwe River within the private Wild Horizons Wildlife Sanctuary near Victoria Falls. Surrounded by approximately 4,500 acres of wilderness, the lodge offers a peaceful escape where riverine scenery, wildlife, and contemporary safari style come together.

Experiences at The Wallow Lodge

Game Drives

Guided game drives explore the surrounding private wildlife sanctuary, where guests can search for elephants, antelope, giraffes, and other wildlife that move through the reserve. In addition, the sanctuary provides a quieter safari experience away from the busier routes around Victoria Falls.

Consequently, game drives are a wonderful introduction to Zimbabwe’s wildlife and perfectly complement a visit to the Falls. Recent guest reports also highlight game drives as a regular part of the Wallow experience.

Visit Victoria Falls

A visit to the magnificent Victoria Falls is an essential part of any stay. Guests can explore the rainforest pathways, visit dramatic viewpoints, and experience the immense power of the famous “Smoke That Thunders”.

Furthermore, The Wallow Lodge’s location makes it easy to combine time in the wilderness with guided excursions to the Falls. As a result, travellers can experience two very different sides of Victoria Falls during a single stay.

Sunset Cruises on the Zambezi River

A sunset cruise on the Zambezi River offers a relaxing way to experience the region’s wildlife and scenery. Elephants, hippos, crocodiles, and abundant birdlife may be seen along the riverbanks while the sun sinks below the horizon.

Meanwhile, the slower pace provides a welcome contrast to the excitement of sightseeing and adventure activities. Therefore, a sunset cruise is an ideal addition to a Victoria Falls itinerary.

Wildlife and Birdwatching

The wilderness surrounding The Wallow Lodge supports a variety of wildlife and birdlife. Guests may see warthogs, antelope, elephants, monkeys, crocodiles, and numerous bird species around the Masuwe River and surrounding bush.

Additionally, the riverfront setting means wildlife encounters can happen without leaving the lodge. For photographers and nature lovers, this creates wonderful opportunities to simply sit quietly and observe the landscape.

Victoria Falls Adventures

Victoria Falls is famous for its extraordinary range of adventure activities. Helicopter flights, white-water rafting, zip-lining, gorge swings, and scenic excursions can all be included in a stay.

Furthermore, Wild Horizons operates a broad range of activities in the Victoria Falls area. Consequently, guests at The Wallow Lodge can easily create a personalised itinerary combining safari, sightseeing, and adventure.

Conservation Experiences

The wider Wild Horizons operation is closely connected to wildlife and conservation experiences in the Victoria Falls region. Depending on the itinerary arranged, guests may also have opportunities to learn more about local conservation work and the protection of Zimbabwe’s wildlife.

As a result, a stay can extend beyond traditional sightseeing and provide a deeper understanding of the region’s natural heritage.
