Suggested Zambia Hotels and Lodges
The Royal Livingstone Hotel
The Sun International Royal Livingstone Hotel stretches along the banks of the Zambezi River, consisting of a series of 17 colonial-style buildings with deep verandas, set amidst indigenous trees and plants. The swimming pool visually links the river with the terraces of the hotel, with a sweeping timber deck in the swirling waters of the Zambezi. Only footsteps from the Zambezi River, the rooms and suites offer a tranquil retreat from the unconstrained beauty of their surroundings
The River Club, Livingstone
The River Club is situated on the Zambian side of the Zambezi River, 18 kilometres upstream from Victoria Falls. The River Club has a distinct Edwardian flavour, and guests here enjoy the sights and sounds of Victoria Falls and the Zambezi River in a peaceful and tranquil setting away from the crowds. Ten luxury, thatched chalets overlook the Zambezi River and completely open in the front giving guests the best possible views of the Zambezi. Daily trips to the Falls, a Zambezi cruise, tiger fishing and sundowner trips are offered. The Zambezi National Park is located just across the river, and elephants can be seen on the river bank, whilst Hippos are regularly sighted (and heard) along the river's edge.
Hopefully they still produce the port when playing a late night game of croquet, good fun and even improved the swing! Peter Jones is iconic at the River Club
