Sussi & Chuma takes its name from Abdullah Susi and James Chuma, the two African companions who carried David Livingstone’s body over a thousand miles to the coast after his death, and sits on the Zambezi’s banks a short drive from Victoria Falls.
Treehouse-style chalets built into the riverine forest canopy on raised platforms, each with a private deck facing the Zambezi.
Zambian and international dishes served with river views, in a lodge whose elevated design keeps it close to the surrounding wildlife.
Sunset cruises on the Zambezi, guided falls tours, and game drives in the adjoining Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park.
The riverine forest surrounding the lodge supports elephant, hippo and a wide range of birdlife along this stretch of the upper Zambezi.
The elevated treehouse decks put photographers at canopy level, useful for birdlife and river views without the need to leave the lodge.
The lodge’s name and story deliberately foreground African historical figures often erased from colonial-era Livingstone narratives, alongside practical support for Mosi-oa-Tunya conservation initiatives.
