A' Zambezi River Lodge

Kimpton Matika, Front Office Porter

"I love my job, because meeting visitors every day makes it so interesting".

Kimpton was born in Rusape, Zimbabwe. Encouraged to move to Vic Falls by family members to seek work, he joined the A'Zambezi and began here as a kitchen porter. Through years of hard working and dedication, he has been promoted over the years and is now the smiling face that welcomes you with a chilled sweet cocktail as you arrive at the A'Zambezi.
