Ultra Properties, which manages The River Club in Livingstone, Zambia, recently announced the closure of the property as a lodge, effective January 1, 2024.

The River Club property was passed on to new owners on December 1 last year, and they have now decided to refocus the use of the property.

“The Ultra Properties team is now able to focus on and dedicate itself to current and future ventures in Livingstone. We have exciting projects in development and will update our followers as we create totally unique and magical new experiences for guests. Our management team will continue to offer our usual friendly and professional services in the same spirit as before,” said Mark McCormick, MD of Ultra Properties.

He reassured guests and trade partners who are holding reservations in 2024 that the company would be in touch to offer alternative arrangements for accommodation.

He added that existing and any new bookings for the remainder of 2023 would continue as usual until the end of the year.
