Ok...lets get this out of the way. I don't know the hotel ratings for this hotel, but if this is a 4-star, then there is a 5-star right next door (Livingstone Inn), but I still like this hotel the best! So, that aside for you adventure seekers who have to travel only 1st class, this hotel is reasonable, clean and... More

If you are looking for an informal hotel with excellent access to the falls and no need for personal transport then this is an excellent choice. The hotel blocks and grounds are very pretty, rooms are on the smaller side but perfectly acceptable, clean and bright. The resort has a very large pool, spa and gift shops. Choose a room... More

Our travel agent (Rhino Africa) selected the Hotel Zambezi Sun for us. Great Location just by the majestic victoria falls.We like the hotel very much. They could still improve their breakfast buffet presentation. six kinds of melon cuts and only two other types of fruits. In the well decorated bed room there was no mini bar fridge to keep the...

Staying at the Zambezi Sun you have access to all the facilities of the Royal Livingstone Hotel, free access to the falls and if you are lucky, as we were, a herd of Zebra on the lawns in front of your room. Enjoy dinner at the Royal Livingstone, sundowners on their deck and if you are lucky enough to be... More

My husband and I, together with our visiting friend spent a couple of nights at the Zambezi Sun Hotel. It was a lovely place with an African decor, good sized pool and outdoor restaurants. Our rooms were comfortable, but it lacked a balcony or a place to sit outside in front of the room. The upper rooms were all smoking... More

While the idea of staying in Livingstone where there are a few things so do, because we only had 3 nights, being right on the edge of the Falls was a perfect option. We could walk to the Falls anytime and also wander to the Royal Livingstone Hotel and watch the sunset each evening - lovely! Ease of getting around... More

Spent a few days at this wonderful hotel in late September. Its advantages are plenty. First, its the only hotel actually next to the Victoria Falls park. Secondly, the decor is pure African with outdoor bar and two cafes, and with bridges crossing the meandering olympic size pool. For dinner there is a fantastic "all you can eat " buffet... More

If you are looking for proximity to the Vic Falls, this is the hotel to stay in. There is a path directly from the hotel to the falls. There is no restriction on access so you can go as many times as you wish during your stay. The hotel room is compact with no space wasted on unused areas and... More

this hotel was more chalet-like, tons of families staying there. i would prefer staying at the royal livingstone hotel - zambezi sun's sister hotel. zambezi sun has a good restaurant serving pastas,steak.. within walking distance, but if you are staying at royal livingstone, you can ask for a free transfer to the restaurant too. zambezi sun is probably better for...

Internet images can indeed be misleading..... On the web it shows the Royal Livingstone a much more posh place is right on the edge of the falls!! Nor totally correct from the Restaurant on a clear day you can see the mist. To see the falls you have to come to the Zambezi Sun Warm welcoming place. Very neat. Front... More
