Review

The Royal Livingstone Hotel is the most famous hotels out of all of the Victoria Falls properties. It sits on the Zambian side, on the banks of the Zambezi River and boasts a short 15-minute walk to Victoria Falls itself. The décor is quite colonial which adds to the history of this lodge. The perfect for those who want a quick stop over at Victoria Falls but want to stay somewhere with the wow factor!

Location

The Royal Livingstone is one of the closest lodges to the mighty Victoria Falls. Although it can be argued as having ‘the best location’, some people would disagree as the peaceful lodges away from the falls are more preferred. Regardless, the access to Victoria Falls could not be easier as it is only a 15-minute walk from the lodge.

Layout

The Royal Livingstone is a very large hotel, with around 170 rooms and suites build across its two-storey building. As a large hotel, it has all of the facilities and amenities you would expect, such as a lounge, bar, dining area, spa, swimming pool, gardens, a gym, a curio shop and sundecks.

Rooms

There a mixture of room styles, from luxury rooms, junior suites and presidential suites (with the presidential suites being the largest and most expensive). Each of the room types have en-suites and a private veranda facing out to the Zambezi River. The rooms also have air conditioning which is particular useful in the hotter months of December to March.

Activities

After a short 15-minute walk, you arrive to the private gated entrance of Victoria Falls, which is open between 6am and 6pm every day. the entrance to Victoria Falls is included for guests at Royal Livingstone. There are plenty of activities to do during your stay at Victoria Falls and with an in-house activity team at the lodge, it is very easy to book them whilst you are there.
