If you’re visiting Zambia- Livingstone and want an authentic, friendly, accomodating and comfortable stay look no further. Darius and his wonderful team made us feel at home and really went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed, no ask was too big. The villa’s themselves are very big and spacious, luxurious and capture the essence of Africa within a national park. Thank you again Darius and team, we will be back, and will be sure to bring back our friends and family in the future. Love from two grateful Aussies 🫶🏻

Nothing, everything was incredible!

I was very happy I chose this lodge in a Nature Reserve a short distance from the center of Livingstone. With a herd of monkeys who were always curious and playful around the bungalow, and elephants in the immediate area. I really found harmony and contact with nature, and it was nice to be here instead of the center of Livingstone. There are big good quality mosquito nets in the bungalows and repelleant is sprayed before bedtime, so don't worry about mosquito bites at night. It is important to know that on the Zambian side of the border you have 2 unique attractions that you cannot find on the more visited Zimbabwean side: 1) The "microlight fly" (a motorized hangglider) experience over the Victoria Falls is what can only be described as truly breathtaking. The lodge is only a few hundred meters from the Batoka airstrip where you fly out to the Victora Falls and over the Zambezi River. 2) The "Devil's pool" where you get your amazing Instagram photos from the top edge of Victoria Falls. You absolutely must experience these 2 on the Zambian side - remember that you must have a visa on the Zimbabwean side, and you must have a multiple entry visa if you are going in and out of Zimbabwe more than once. The Zambian side is also much cheaper, especially on food and drinks, and feels even safer than the Zimbabwean side. There are many good reasons to spend a few days on Zambia's side, unlike what many tourists do - and it feels liberating. I have traveled 130+ countries, so I appreciate what's genuine. Darius (the owner) is a book of his own. You will not find a more nice and helpful person. He helps you with absolutely everything, and please start planning before your arrival, as some of the attractions and available times are sold out days in advance. He can also put together larger travel packages including safaris in Zambia and neighboring countries, both for single people and large groups.

Everything. The pictures here don’t do it justice. It is a nice serene place. Rooms are clean and beds very comfortable. It is close to the vic falls and other touristic activities/places. The adrenaline rush from the possibility of running into elephants on the way/onsite kept us on the edge but all the same, worth the while.

Expected the pool to be bigger but the manager was kind enough to take us to another place for swimming (at a very reasonable fee).

I was at a conference in Livingstone and did not have time to prepare for the trip. I knew little about the area, apart Vic Falls. Darius was great in helping me plan out some activities during my stay. I ended up doing a half day around Vic Falls, an ultralight ride over the Falls, whitewater rafting on the Zambezi and a day safari at Chobe National Park. All without spending alot of time planning. The staff was attentive, being creative with the menu to prepare something new each night. The property is well kept and resident monkeys 🐒 keeps one entertained in the early evening. I hope to be back.

This is a uniquely calm, quiet place with a lush, well-kept garden with monkeys swinging in the trees and a lovely pool area and beautiful bar. We had a spacious three-rooms-in-one-bungalow for our family with a high seeling, big, good beds and mosquito nets sprayed and set up for us in the evening. The staff was very welcoming and attentive, flexible and relaxed. We were served good food to our taste. (We got pancakes in stead of meat for breakfast, vegetarian burgers and pasta were made for us on the spot, etc.) You can walk down to the river to watch the sunset and get back before it gets dark. It's a bit far into charming Livingstone, but the staff can organize transport, and there are taxis in town.

There are things - a tap or lamp or door here and a sunbed there - that ought to be fixed. There's a need for a bit of maintenance. The pool needs a good clean.

The staff were lovely, the location on the edge of the park was perfect, elephants roaming at night, truly atmospheric. Darius, the manager was incredibly helpful and despite our wishes to walk alone, always catered our safety

Mosquitoes but that’s part of the nature. That said, the staff sprayed our room every evening before bed and ensured we had a peaceful sleep

The Royal Sichango Manager Mr Darius and his staff were very friendly and helpful. Mr Darius can organise taxis, trips and activities if you are interested to do them. Staff were welcoming and accommodating. The food was all cooked fresh on the premises and was very tasty. The room was cleaned and freshened daily and made as mosquito free as possible for us in the evening. If you are lucky sometimes you can see elephants from the hotel garden. I recommend a stay here

There are monkeys who live in the garden. They were fine but do not walk around with food, they really want that😮

The staff was amazing. Darius was an amazing host. He arranged everything for our trip to Chobe national park in Bostwana and our day trip to Zimbabwe as well as our visit to Mukuni Village. All staff was so helpful since beginning of our stay. We felt like we were among family. The location was also so nice, we were close to town and at the same time we were in the middle of the nature.

The lodge is embedded in a natural place where you can see monkeys and around the area you can also see elephants. The place has home-made food and Darius the manager is super helpful, he helped me in arranging most of my plans.

Wonderful, quiet lodge in the middle of nature with lovely rooms, comfortable beds, great food and especially amazing staff who is always there for you. They do everything to make your stay perfect. Thanks so much Darius, Enevia and all! Will definitely come back next time I'm in Zambia and can highly recommend to stay at the Royal Sichango Village.
