The authentic African features to decor . Being right on the Zambezi River .The pool was beautiful overlooking the river . Very Natural design blending with the landscape , the staff were exceptional and devoted their attention to your every need . Rooms were amazing . To have a tour organisers on hand to arrange all your activities was the best . Food was amazing with great dining options . Victoria Falls , Chobe National Park, river safari’s and a cruise on the Lady Livingston where some of the activities we did but also had time to just relax and enjoy. Put the David Livingston Safari Lodge on your place to stay for you bucket list .

Beautiful location and view of the Zambezi river, exceptionally friendly and helpful staff. Perfectly kept grounds and gardens. Good range of optional activities offered, which were of high class and well guided. Food was of good standard, especially the included breakfast.

The prices of the activities and shuttle services were unreasonably expensive, especially for South Africans. Despite pre-requesting an Airport shuttle none was forthcoming, and a Taxi was taken from the Livingston Airport. this was considerably cheaper however than the transport from the Lodge to the Airport at the end of our stay (US$ 20 vs US$ 46 for a 15min trip).

Nestled close to the actual Victoria Falls along the mighty Zambezi River banks just 8 minutes drive from Livingstone City or the Zimbabwe & Zambia border gate. This hotel has the perfect setting to make a memorable holiday stay for your group or family. The staff was great, from the check-in process to getting settled in the rooms. Mosquito nets are standard & the staff will spray the rooms before sunset. The continental breakfast was great with beef cold meats as options for us who don't eat pork. They food menu is reasonably priced for such a prime location hotel. We extended our 2 nights stay to 4 nights in total because the place is beautiful. They own a boat, so the Zambezi River Sunset cruise is an in-house experience paid for at reception.

The concierge team can be more flexible with assisting guests with direct service providers vesus billing every tour through a third party agency. I felt it was highly unnecessary since the helicopter ride company is their neighbour (a 3 minute ride). Same thing with the Livingstone Island experience who are situated 7 minutes drive from the hotel.

The Lodge is wonderful , excellent location by the Zambezi. Stunning views and a beautiful bedroom with a balcony.

The Lodge is under major renovations and the resident boat is being renovated next to the pool area, so use of the pool area is disrupted. There are metal angle grinders being used and paint spraying all day. There was no mention of renovations on the listing. The price should be adjusted to counter the maintenance, which did spoil our time by the pool area. The boat was not operational which was one of the reasons I booked this hotel.

Wow, what an amazing lodge! We arrived early and Wendy at Reception didn’t even blink and assisted with an early check-in while we went on our rhino walking activity.. Had beautiful connecting rooms that looked out over the river. Unlike on the Zimbabwean side, food was quoted in the local currency and very affordable for SADC members. Was also less expensive to visit the falls on the Zambian side. Loved it (and the cocktail of the day every day). Restaurant next door had lovely pizzas. Booked it as a last minute deal with 55% discount.

An authentic, quiet hotel on the Zambezi River with beautiful sunsets. The rooms are small, clean and cozy, comfortable beds with mosquito nets. The restaurant has delicious food and excellent service. Breakfast is a buffet with a large selection of dishes. The hotel has a tourist office where we have booked many interesting excursions.

I've been writing letters every day for three days in a row to arrange a transfer from the airport. The hotel administration did not reply to my letters.

Breakfast was well presented with plenty of choice. Eggs were freshly cooked to order. There were two restaurants for dinner both overlooking the river with wonderful views of the sunset. The bedroom and en suite bathroom with separate bath and shower were spacious and comfortable. Staff were friendly, attentive, helpful and knowledgeable - they really went that extra mile to make us feel at home.

There was nothing we did not like

We loved that the staff were so friendly and attentive. The rooms are old but clean and the bed and bedding wonderful. The pool was amazing on the banks of the Zambezi river. Everything was just perfect and you could go anywhere from there and everything is close by. They also have their own boat for sunset cruises.

That’s the rooms is so old. The outside patio door doesn’t close properly and the mosquitoes are everywhere, so don’t forget your long sleeves and repellent!!

The staff is amazing. Clement, Bruce and Sharon were the real stars but almost everyone is really friendly and helpful....

Management is not friendly. There is a white lady manager who never greeted us for the whole 6 days of our stay. Very disappointing.... They never cleaned the gym during our stay, and we had to ask for fresh towels each time we go to the gym. Their pricing is USD based and highly pricey for SADC tourists. Was very disappointed to be quoted $22 per person for a family of 4 ($88) for less than 10 mins Airport dropoff... But it is all good. The kids had a great time.

I enjoyed the welcome, I was transformed into a musician. I appreciated the staff accommodating my early check-in.I enjoyed the breakfast. There was alot of variety. I enjoyed the responsiveness of the dining staff during breakfast. Aside from the food, I enjoyed the pool facility, the hot 🔥 shower, and the view of the Zambezi from the restaurant. Also the little pastry for guests at the end of the day. Also I enjoyed the convenience of bookibg events from the tours office within,and how seamless and efficient the tour was planned.
