We had an absolutely incredible stay at The Royal Livingstone Hotel. The staff was simply spectacular, the grounds immaculate and we had several incredible meals. The best feature though are the impala, zebra, and giraffe roaming the grounds. It is simply a spectacular property on the Zambezi river. Special thanks to Phylis, Lupinda, and Vivian who made our stay very comfortable.

Just doesn’t get any better than this. From the welcome on arrival to the staff on reception at check out and everything in between it was magical. When we saw the photos of the animals in the gardens we didn’t expect to see so many, lying on a Sun lounger with a giraffe walking past will stay with us forever. Food was fantastic. Definitely worth a revisit.

We booked High Tea at this incredible hotel and venue. We were not disappointed. The service was outstanding and the tea and treats were amazing. We had zebras and giraffes show up too!

I had time to spare before my flight back home and I decided to have lunch and spend the rest of the afternoon here before my flight,it was the perfect way to end my 4 day holiday, what an unforgettable experience . The setting by the River with the falls at a distance & the giraffes and roaming around is breathtaking, the atmosphere is so calming and peaceful. The food was amazing , but what stood out most was the staff including the Managers ,they are so warm, welcoming, and attentive, they made me feel like a valued guest even without an overnight stay. Their hospitality turned my last day into a perfect ending to my trip. I’ll definitely return for a longer stay next time.

We did not stay here as the rooms are more than $1000/night. But we stopped for breakfast and it was surreal. Probably the finest buffet in Africa. We had different eggs benny with fruits, cheeses, pastries, meats, cappuccinos, fresh squeezed orange juice. Great view of the grounds and river. A small herd of zebras grazed on the lawn. We then met Bob the giraffe who wanders around too. Staff were highly professional. Food was incredible.

My wife and I travel extensively, and The Royal Livingstone Hotel stands head and shoulders above any place we’ve ever stayed. It’s more than a hotel; it’s a complete experience. The entire staff operates seamlessly to ensure you’re cared for at every moment. The facilities are truly world-class, and the concierge team is exceptional; we booked six tours through them and every single one was executed flawlessly. And the food; easily some of the best we’ve ever had. All three meals each day were prepared and presented with remarkable skill. If you're looking for a location right next to Victoria Falls, you found it!

Was booked with Micato Safaris for this location. Spent two nights, and we must say this place was a ten out of ten. The greeting upon arrival was very welcoming, and it got better. The room was very nice. Great views. The food both nights we stayed was excellent. The staff were extremely accommodating, both at the front desk and in the restaurant.
