This lodge is also suitable for group bookings and conferences which are catered for. 

Our Activities 

Game drives - The Royal Jozini Private Game Reserve is split into two areas, the exclusion zone known as East Shore Reserve which has no elephants inside, and the rest of the reserve which is an active elephant zone. For an independent stay at the game lodges, you can explore the East shore section of the wildlife reserve in your own vehicle, with roads interweaving through the game reserve at the base of the Lebombo Mountains and with spectacular African bush scenery. You are most likely to see zebras, wildebeests, warthogs, nyalas, impalas, differents bucks and a huge variety of birds. Take binoculars to spot hippos and crocodiles at the lake. As our elephants are not habituated and the West Shore Reserve has thick bush thickets and narrow, windy roads we encourage visitors to book a guided game drive if you wish to traverse areas outside of the exclusion zone. 

Activities at Lake Jozini include game cruises at sunrise or sunset, providing unforgettable game viewing. Lake levels, wind and water conditions determine boat launching. 

Bush walkabouts - Take a hike or a stroll and breathe in the beauty of the African bushveld! Check with us where it is safe to take a walk. There are elephants in the non-exclusion zone of the reserve and occasionally buffalo are seen in the exclusion zone. 

Indulge your senses in spotting as many of Eswatini’s 450 resident bird species as you can! 300 species alone have been spotted within the five ecosystems of Royal Jozini! 

Pedal power rules here! Explore our game reserve with a mountain bike. According to the conservation rules, NO motorbikes or quad bikes are permitted! Check with us which areas are free of elephants. 

With its 27 species of fish, including a remarkable Tiger Fish population, Lake Jozini promises an excellent opportunity for passionate fishermen. Reputedly the best freshwater fighting fish and an exclusively African game-fish, the Tiger Fish poses a memorable challenge for adrenaline seekers but please do check with us on the water level of Lake Jozini. Drought years may mean that the levels are too low to launch a boat. If conditions are good, you’re welcome to bring your own boat, or book a charter.  Please note fishing and/or a boat charter is only available to staying guests and must be provisionally booked in advance.

Alternatively, chill at your lodge, take a dip in the pool, have a braai, relax around a boma fire and make memories that last!

Our History

It is believed that the original Beach Hotel and surrounding area belonged to Piet Retief and his family. His home, a tennis court and servants quarters stood on this ground. Tenders for the proposed Beach Hotel were called for on 22 June 1893. The wood and iron structure was designed by architect George William Smith. Construction progressed rapidly and on 16 February 1894, the hotel was officially opened with a grand luncheon party. 

Then, sadly, at 5 o'clock on 01 December 1915, the hotel went up in flames. The fire destroyed the entire building within an hour. In 1922 the Humewood district was ripe for development after the Marine Drive was completed. Mr. Bill Poole immediately took the option on the first hotel site and built the second Beach Hotel which was completed in 1924. The hotel changed hands several times and was later bought by a Mrs. Lupping at an auction for £46 000. Later, Wilfred Guscott bought the hotel from the Luppings, and his nephew, Roy Lombard, bought it in 1958 and brought about the first alterations to the hotel when he elevated it to the first three star hotel in the country. It is now a popular family run hotel which welcomes holidaymakers and businessmen alike from across the world.

Tsowa Safari Island 

Tsowa means new beginnings, which is what you will find on this pristine Tsowa Safari Island in the middle of the mighty Zambezi River, 35 km west of Victoria Falls. A surreal place, the whispers of this majestic river are broken only by occasional calls of the African fish eagle. In a camp fringed by a beautiful forest, a soft path leads to a cluster of century old baobabs. This is our safari island Tsowa, sensitively situated within the Zambezi National Park. 

Our Accommodation 

This luxury modern day explorer's camp, Tsowa Safari Island offers 8 luxury safari tents with en-suite indoor and outdoor showers. Each safari tent is carefully positioned in the shade of the forest to ensure guest privacy and to maximize the river views. 

It is a great privilege and honour to have been awarded the concession to develop a camp on Tsowa Safari Island and for this reason every care and consideration has been taken to position the 8 eco-friendly luxury tents to create minimal environmental impact and blend into the natural surroundings as much as possible while giving guests the chance to appreciate the trees, river, wild animals and birds of the Zambezi National Park. 

The camp can only be accessed by pre-booked transfers. Guests are transferred in closed air-conditioned vehicles to our private entrance to the Zambezi National Park, where they will be met by a guide and transferred in an open 4x4 vehicle to the river's edge. From here it is a quick boat trip across to the island. 

Activities 

There are three distinct seasons in Zimbabwe. The dry season, April to October, is the best time for game viewing. The wet season is from November to March, when the river is at its highest and the Victoria Falls are most spectacular and migrant birds are prolific.  

A river cruise is offered in the late afternoon to enjoy the spectacular sunsets along the Zambezi River. Guests can enjoy drinks and snacks with our guides on our comfortable river cruiser while keeping an eye out for game coming down to drink at the banks of the river. There is nothing like sipping a sundowner while watching elephants come to drink on the river bank! 

Early morning game drives are offered through this scenically beautiful national park. They last approximately 3 to 4 hours and include a refreshment stop at one of our favourite view points. The Zambezi National Park is home to large herds of elephant, buffalo, lion, hyena, giraffe and numerous antelope species.
