Viceroy Hotels, an international luxury hotel group, has made its debut in the African safari sector by acquiring three high-end lodges in Zambia and Botswana. The properties, now managed by African Bush Camps, will operate under the “A Viceroy Resort” branding.
The newly acquired lodges are:
- Thorntree River Lodge (Zambia): Located in Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park on the Zambezi River, providing easy access to Victoria Falls.
- Lolebezi (Zambia): A secluded riverfront retreat in the Lower Zambezi National Park.
- Atzaró Okavango Camp (Botswana): Situated in the heart of the Okavango Delta.
Each property features contemporary luxury design, private plunge pools, and a suite of premium amenities like spas and swimming pools. Activities are tailored to their unique settings, ranging from rhino tracking and river cruises in Zambia to traditional mokoro excursions and safari drives in the Delta. This strategic move signals Viceroy’s expansion into high-end, experiential nature travel in Southern Africa.
