Inyati Game Lodge
“Old Drift Lodge was the perfect start to our family Africa trip. The accommodations were superior, including outdoor shower, tub and plunge pool. The food was delicious and management and staff went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. Our guides, Fanuel and Richard were outstanding, spotting hyenas, elephants, zebras, giraffes and the mighty dung beetle in the bush, and on our river safaris hippos, crocodiles, baboons and more. The included tour of Victoria Falls and meal at the Lookout Cafe were another highlight. 5 Stars!”. Date of stay: December 2024

Amazing Stay
“We loved this family trip. We had a luxury family tent and it was beautiful, spacious and equipped with 2 bathrooms and AC. The small plunge pool was perfect for cooling off in the late afternoon sun. Meeting the elephants was a highlight for our family but all of our activities were fun for the entire family. Marshall was our main liaison and he was exceptional! We were even gifted elephant ornaments on Xmas morning. Date of stay”: December 2024
