Waterberry
  

Waterberry lodge is located 23 kms west from the town of Livingstone, Zambia.  World famous Victoria Falls is about 10 kms outside of Livingstone, or 3okms from the lodge.  Situated upstream on the Zambezi river, Waterberry is an ideal spot for interns looking to get out in the bush, but not be too far from a city or town.   The prime riverfront property is host to many water activities available at the lodge, and  a family oriented atmosphere caters to small groups of people interested in a place where they can learn more about the bush and local cultures while enjoying the amenities of a lodge.    Waterberry works in conjunction with local communities to promote the Kafue Zambezi Conservation Development Association Corridor and The Barotse Development Trust.
