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.

The most impressive hotel we have ever stayed in. World class dining, exceptional service and beautiful ambience. We could hear the hippos chatting away while sitting at the pool, and the giraffes and zebra roamed freely. Try the Boma tribal night too, it was very enjoyable. All in all, an amazing stay - 10/10

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.

Beautiful surroundings, lovely staff and waking up to Zebras and Giraffes on the lawn was magical. Walking to the Victoria Falls each day was also great along with a helicopter ride over the Falls.

We stayed two nights and loved it. It is quite magical to walk your lodge and see zebras grazing outside your door or have a giraff walk by a few meters away. Our room was very comfortable and clean (I saw at least one reviewer had been unhappy with the cleaning of the room but we were happy with it and we are sticklers for cleanliness). There were lots of small treats in our room that we appreciated. The one thing I feel the room needs to improve on is charging; all customers now come with smart phones and other things that need charging so the room should have more and more conveniently located outlets). The staff were all friendly and helpful. The buffer breakfast was outstanding in variety and quality. The location was perfect for excursions to look at rhinos, the Victoria Falls and the Zambezi river and also to take the old, luxurious train with dinner.
