At Zambezi Dusk, we believe in the power of connection - to land, to people, to story.

Zambezi Dusk began as a family dream — a place where people could truly connect with nature, with one another, and with the soul of Zambia. Today, that dream lives on in every detail, every smile, and every moment shared around the fire.

As a family-run lodge on the banks of the mighty Zambezi, our spirit of togetherness touches everything we do. Whether it’s your morning coffee overlooking the river or a surprise sundowner in the bush, you’ll feel the care and warmth that defines our way of life.

Here, everyone lends a hand, from owners and chefs to guides and gardeners. You’ll see familiar faces throughout your stay, always ready with a story and a smile. Because at Zambezi Dusk, we’re not just a team — we’re a family.
