Accommodation Description

A palatial and opulent ode to African extravagance, the Royal Livingstone is a plush and swanky-looking hotel on the edge of the Zambezi River a short walk from Victoria Falls on the Zambian side.

With personal bus-boys, spacious rooms with modern and luxurious amenities, the Royal Livingstone offers comfort and convenience with just a hint of Vegas-glitz. The rooms all have en suite bathrooms with shower and separate baths, private balconies and the gamut of in-room niceties you'd expect of a quality hotel.

Dining is a feature at the Royal Livingstone within the sound of Victoria Falls, its single cascade producing a constant rumble like the sound of the ocean - or traffic, depending on where you live. The dining room is a smart and sophisticated experience with a variety of meats and styles on an a la carte menu; and the sun deck and lounge look out over the river and serve light lunches and cocktails into the night.
