Sussi Lodge and Chuma House Attractions

The river here is dotted with islands and rapids and the gentle rush of the water as it washes over the rocks gives a soothing background symphony. Sussi & Chuma is the ideal destination for those wishing to explore Victoria Falls and its surrounds. Because of its close proximity to the Mosi-Oa-Tunya Game Park and the most northerly population of White Rhino, it is also perfect for those with only a day or two to spare for a safari.

Sussi Lodge and Chuma House Facilities

SUSSI LODGE: Ten generously sized tree houses are set high in the branches of the huge riverine ebony trees. Each house has folding doors which open completely to allow you to lie in your muslin swathed bed and gaze at the river or to catch the scarlet underwing of a Livingstone Lourie as it conveniently perches at eye level.

The houses feature large baths and separate showers, deep cane chairs on the teak veranda, a cotton wrap draped across a white linen chair, scented candles by the bath, a cooling fan and a discreet fridge for those private sundowners. Canopy-level walkways connect each treehouse to the main bar and lounge. This thatched structure is also elevated with a perfect view of the river and the elephant’s favourite swimming hole. Overhead fans, shady palms and deep armchairs accented with animal prints make it the ideal viewing platform. Just below is the illusory wet-lip pool, which appears to merge with the waters of the Zambezi and the belly laugh of the hippos.

All meals are table d’hote with a wide selection of dishes. Meals will be served outdoors whenever possible and often around a log fire in the evening. The facilities also lend themselves to small conferences of up to 20 people. All units include:- *Toilet, basin, shower & bath*Mini bar*Mosquito nets*Overhead fans*Tea & coffee making facilitieS.
