The Royal Livingstone Hotel is located immediately upstream from the Victoria Falls, on the forested banks of the great Zambezi River in Zambia. This hotel optimises the regal stature of a bygone era, with the main section being a sequence of double volume thatch roofed buildings housing large and elegant lounges, bars and shaded verandahs of authentic colonial furnishings.
The sparkling Victorian swimming pool visually links the river with the terraces of the hotel, and there is a sweeping timber deck jutting into the swirling water of the Zambezi.
The 173 luxurious rooms and suites are spread out along the river’s edge under indigenous trees with rolling lawns. The seventeen two-storey colonial-style buildings each house a cluster of rooms which are tastefully decorated in the soft earth tones of the bushveld, creating truly romantic retreats. All the rooms are air conditioned and have satellite television, electronic safe, hairdryer, mini-bar, telephone and tea/coffee making facilities. The en-suite bathrooms have free standing Victorian baths and oversized showers and all the rooms have private balconies or terraces with spectacular views of the Zambezi River.
Hotel guests are welcome to hop onto a passing golf cart to gain unlimited access to view the Falls themselves or with a local guide.
Illona, one of our Africa specialists, spent time here after her wedding in the South Lunagwa and the wildlife in the grounds, the lavish food and the proximity to the falls makes for an easy and relaxed stay.
