We stayed at Tabonina for 4 nights with our 18 month old son. The rooms are very clean and spacious, supplied with DSTv, free wifi, Tea/coffee making facilities, mosquito nets. Very comfortable and good quality beds. The atmosphere of the guest house is so relaxed and pleasant that it puts you at ease immediately on arrival. There is a swimming... More

I spent a week in Tabonina at the end of February 2012 with my wife and 8 year old son, while looking for houses to rent, schools and basic needs so we could take the plunge and move permanently to Livingstone. The owners, Bronnah and Laurent where extremely nice and helped us each step of the way. The room was... More

After reading fantastic reviews on Tripadvisor I booked Tabonina guesthouse for a family holiday with my parents and my boyfriend in Livingstone. The hotel staff, and owners Bronnah and Laurent were amazing all the way from the beginning to the end of what turned out to be a very eventful holiday. When we arrived at the guesthouse, my mum realised... More

I stayed here for about 4 months as I did some charity work in the nearby Mukuni village. It truly became my home. The staff are wonderful, very caring, attentive. The place is very clean. It's about a 15 minute stroll to town-not bad at all! Bronnah was so helpful when it comes to sourcing things that I craved and... More

We loved the fill of Tabonina ... The Zambian & French couple that own this little B&B were very friendly and helpful ... The pool was inviting and well appreciated in the hot afternoons ... Oh and it's clean !!! We'll come back for sure :-)

If you want value, relaxation and great hospitality while staying in Livingstone, look no further. This location provides clean and comfortable accommodations, and the pool was a great bonus. Our entire family stayed there in 3 of the rooms offered for about a week and we all had a great time. Just a short walk or a quick taxi ride... More

The Tabonina Guesthouse is located in a peaceful area about 500m from the main road. It has 4 rooms and 1 chalet. I stayed 1 night in room 4 which I can't recommend as it is adjacent to the TV room/lounge and might not be as peaceful as the other rooms. All rooms have air-con, and a mosquito net over... More

Well, after 4 days spent at Tabonina and 6 weeks in East Africa, I can say that this was the nicest/cleanest/friendliest place we stayed! Although the owners were not there during our stay, the staff was super friendly and welcoming. Not many taxi drivers know the location, so make sure you give them the address.

Escapade en Zambie From our overnight-stops in Africa, the best one is, no doubt, TABONINA guest-house in Livingstone. Warm welcome from the sweet owners and their staff. Very well decorated, lovely and spotless en suite rooms, with mosquito nets, fridge air cond... Nice long chairs around a very pleasant pool where you can take a rest after your swim. Good... More
