A place surrounded by natural beauty, the river with its for-ever changing moods the wildlife, elephants, buffalo, giraffe and many different antelopes just to name a few are seen and heard from the Zambezi National Park across the river, the resident hippos and the amazing birding opportunities are all around. A small cage pool surrounded by a sundeck floats in the Zambezi River.

It is difficult to pull yourself away to explore the Victoria Falls, 20 km downstream, and all Livingstone and the region has to offer. These unique self-catering options are ideal for a longer stay of a week or more but can also be rented for a minimum of two nights.

Staying at Kayube Estate is an unforgettable experience!. Three small bungalows, hidden away under the big trees and bush on the rivers’ edge. Sleep one couple or a couple with one or two children. The Estate is 25 km outside Livingstone a 25 minute drive, partly through the Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park.

From time to time herds of elephants are seen drinking across the river. Lion, hyena, zebra and of course hippo's are often heard during the day and night.

Kayube means 'hide away' It is a romantic place on one of the most enchanting rivers of the world. Also an ideal safari base for a family or a couple of friends.
