The furnishings are light and elegant, and all cottages have a veranda. When it comes to activities, Waterberry offers both ‘in house’ and ‘external’ options. You can stay close to the Lodge and enjoy river cruises, birding, fishing, and village visits, and you can also head out to the Falls for watersports, animal encounters in the national park, and scenic flights, in a helicopter or microlight.
