Translated – The Smoke that Thunders – is the local name for the Victoria Falls. The world-famous cascade of water provides the baseline for your journey into colonial sophistication. Its fine spray may be seen like a cloud across the bushveld, throwing rainbows hundreds of feet in the air. On the forested banks of the great Zambezi River, upstream of the mighty cataract where it thunders into the Batoka Gorge, is The Royal Livingstone. In its cool lounges and shaded verandas, you will encounter the elegance and luxury of an earlier, more courteous age.
Colonial style luxury hotel with an unsurpassed view of the spray

Stay in style...The Royal Livingstone is a luxurious colonial style five star hotel on the Zambian side of Vic Falls which offers an un surpassed view of the spray of the Victoria Falls.

Enjoy the rays of the African sun around the focal point of the hotel’s scenery, the sparking and inviting Victorian themed pool. As the day fades and the lengthening of shadows bring cool relief, you can wander down to the sundeck to marvel at the grand sweep of the watery horizon burnt gold by the sinking sun, whilst sipping sundowners in the most romantic setting.

This is the unique promise of The Royal Livingstone Hotel – Zambia’s most spectacularly diverse wilderness experience offers exquisite style and intimacy against a backdrop of wild Africa in all her splendour. There’s no better place to contemplate the unrivalled majesty of the Victoria Falls on your doorstep than the utterly unique Royal Livingstone Hotel, where zebras enjoy the wandering across the lawn.
