Set amongst indigenous forest and foliage,... read more the timeless lodge sits beautifully overlooking the Zambezi river. The large main patio lends to hours of good read or relaxation with a delightful cocktail from the well stocked bar and attentive staff to cater to any request. A keen eye will spot wildlife across the river at Mana pools.

Lower Zambezi offers great game viewing both from a vehicle and the river. A keen fishing family, we spend hours on the river with outstanding guides who not only know the best spots for fishing but also keep a look out for game along the banks and the sky for keen birdwatchers . Not much beats floating quietly down the river with a delicious sun downer and coming across a herd of elephants bathing or hippos grunting as we move past their pod and skimmers flying past.

Baines offers a delightful menu, with light lunches before retiring for a rest in the well appointed rooms. The rooms are spacious with comfortable furnishings and very cozy beds. Rooms are tastefully decorated with accents of wood, sisal and leather. A beautiful verandah perfect for sunrise and sunsets to begin and end a packed day of activities, is a bonus. The bathroom offers the necessary amenities with a specious dressing area.

Baines is lovely. It would be hard to know what more could it could do to make it better. The area is resident to smaller wildlife of vervet monkeys, baboons and warthogs and if you’re lucky you may spot the rarer Somango monkeys in the forest trees overhead whilst meandering along the pathway.

Baines is warm and welcoming and really does feel like home. We love going there.
