A VALENTINE’S DAY PACKAGE FOR THOSE ROMANTICS WHO CRAVE BEING CATERED TO

Tongabezi Lodge, located a stone’s throw from Victoria Falls, one of the seven natural wonders of the world, is offering a Valentine’s Day package designed to keep Cupid busy.  Guests booking now for a Valentine’s getaway between February 8 and February 20, will receive a free upgrade to a Tongabezi house or to a private Honeymoon Chalet on beautiful Sindabezi Island. A personal valet attends each.  Rates start at: US$510 and include accommodations, meals, drinks, house wine, and inclusive activities.

Designed for romance, Tongabezi is one of the most magical and atmospheric spots in Southern Africa. Service is pampered and personalized.  Couples can dine on gourmet food when and where they please: over a candlelit dinner on a floating sampan, with courses delivered via canoe; on a fully-catered castaway white sand beach; or by taking over an entire floor of an open-air Lookout on the Zambezi River.  And to totally luxuriate, lovebirds can opt for a soothing massage.

The forested island of Sindabezi has been called one of the best remote places to stay in the world. The private island has just five open-sided thatched cottages, allowing guests to soak up the sights and sounds of the African bush and the beautiful Zambezi River. To further up the romance ante, there are elevated star-gazing decks for viewing the intense sparkle of an unpolluted African night sky.  Cottages feature closeable fronts, minimal solar lighting and ultra-comfortable teak beds with fine bedding.  All this and Heaven, too.
