Sussi & Chuma occupies a stretch of riverine forest on the Zambian bank of the Zambezi, close enough to Victoria Falls to hear the distant roar on still evenings but far enough to feel removed from the bustle that surrounds one of Africa's great natural landmarks. The lodge takes its name from two of David Livingstone's most trusted companions, a nod to the history that runs deep through this part of the Zambezi Valley.
The setting is genuinely striking — tall riverine trees, dense vegetation, and the broad Zambezi moving steadily past — and the lodge makes the most of it without overreaching. Tree houses sit high in the canopy while river suites occupy the lower forest, and communal spaces are designed to keep guests connected to the surroundings throughout the day.
Activities lean toward the river and the Falls — white-water rafting, sunset cruises, guided walks to the gorge — making this a lodge that suits guests who want a genuine sense of place alongside their comfort.
