Thank you for joining us for our recent webinar, "Discover Bupenyu Lodge: Where the Zambezi Meets Untamed Luxury," presented by Nicolet Baransky, Sales Manager – Victoria Falls | Namibia, Newmark Hotels & Reserves.

During the session, attendees were introduced to Bupenyu Lodge, an exclusive boutique property perched above the spectacular Batoka Gorge overlooking the mighty Zambezi River. Located just 28 kilometres from Victoria Falls, the lodge combines contemporary luxury with an authentic connection to the surrounding wilderness and local community.

Nicci shared the story behind the lodge's development, highlighting how the local community played a significant role in bringing the property to life. Local artisans and community members contributed to the construction of the lodge, while many staff members have been recruited and trained from surrounding communities, reflecting Bupenyu's commitment to creating meaningful local impact.

  • Conservation initiatives, including efforts to protect local birdlife and preserve the area's natural tranquillity by limiting aerial traffic over the lodge.

  • Opportunities for travellers seeking meaningful, immersive and nature-focused experiences while remaining within easy reach of Victoria Falls' iconic attractions and adventure activities.
