Stayed here some time back, for a few days, and it was great. Nothing can really be said that hasn't already, but for me, the location was the best part. The hotel is nice but being so close the "the Falls" is a treat. Also loved the fact of animals randomly roaming the property. Food was good, but I found... More

This hotel is only 15 minutes away from Livingstone Airport and located in a nature reserve. At this hotel you can have a truly African experience while living in luxury and being attended to by very friendly staff and a personal butler. You can watch Zebra grazing on your doorstep and by taking a walk to the Victoria Falls, you... More

You know you are in a special place when you pass through the entry gates and are greeted by zebra wandering the grounds. The hotel is in a protected wildlife park area and the animals have the right of way.Too much fun! Directly on the Zambezi river, and about as close to Victoria Falls as you can get, the setting...

This is a must go place in living stone even if you are not staying there as they are next to the river and offer a lot of activity .They have a nice sitting place just next to the river where from a far you will see the steam rising from the falls its magical and relaxing.

The Royal Livingstone Hotel is one of my favourite hotels in Africa. I think it is due to the feeling of olde worlde charm and elegance that embraces one from the moment you step into the main foyer. It may also be the stunning location on the banks of the Zambezi, just above the Victoria Falls themselves or maybe it... More

This is such a great to stay if one is visiting the fantastic Victoria Falls. High end, but worth it. Very nice large clean rooms, less than ten minute walking distance to the Falls. On the banks of the Zambezi river.

We had a fantastic break at this excellent hotel. The staff were very accommodating all the time. We had extraordinary service every occasion. The hotel offers dinner and lunch on site as well as breakfast. To book this hotel, we telephoned the sun international group in South Africa. We did need to pay a deposit via a bank transfer.

This was not our favorite hotel during our trip to Africa but it was very nice. It all seemed a bit dated.....like something out of the 1950s. Good atmosphere though and sunset views on the deck overlooking the river and Victoria Falls were wonderful. We shared the deck one evening with Miss USA and her entourage.

Enjoyed our 3 night stay in May 2013. Only disappointment for a luxury hotel was instant coffee in the room rather than filter coffee. 10 minute walk through the gardens where giraffe, zebra and impala roam free was lovely. Being so close to the falls meant you could go on several occasions at different times of the day. Great fun... More

I did not realise that it was so close to the Victoria falls, literally 15 minutes walk. The zebras, monkeys and other wildlife share the grounds with you, which is stunning. The food, drinks and breakfast is all great. The rooms are mosquito free, clean, spacious and nice views: through the garden on the Zambezi river.
