Beautiful hotel, Excellent location. Excellent standards of customer service. Although, it would be nice if the staff actually smiled a bit more. They all appear very serious! The quality of the meals is exceptional. Make sure you take the Lady Livingstone sunset cruise. Its the best!

I treated myself and my little son to two nights in one of the most amazing suites one could imagine! The suite is out of this world, with a jacuzzi placed right in the center of the room between the bedroom and the lounge! WOW! It has a window at floor level, so that you can sit and watch the...

After two disappointing aperitifs at Royal Livingstone we found this place. The structure is fantastic, with thatched roofs, African style deco and beautiful gardens. As soon as we arrived someone (we thought it might have been the manager) welcomed us and asked if we needed anything. We sat on the deck by the river and were served very good cocktails... More

We had a wonderful stay in David Livingstone Safari Lodge & Spa. The straff was very helpful with suggestions and reservations to different activities. The food was lovely, and the waiters were professional and very helpful. Everything was perfect and we had a great stay. We liked the cute little monkeys in the garden.

Fantastic accommodation. All the rooms have a view of the Zambezi River. They are clean and comfortably arranged to suit ones needs. The food was first class served sometimes in the restaurant and sometimes on the grass next to the river. From your dining table you can watch as Charlie (the lodge’s crocodile) takes a nap in the sun. Extra... More

We visited recently with family from RSA and we really enjoyed our stay. It is a very convenient place to stay in livingstone, and is also nice and not in the hustle of town! We had a hiccup at check in, where one room hadn't been reserved as per the reservation made. This was however quickly resolved, but it did... More

We stayed at the lodge in April and had a good time.There was 3 of us girlfriends who took a break and wanted to get away for a couple of days of relaxation and chilling out and that's exactly what we did. We all had lovely massages in the spa which were well worth the price and a luxury mani... More

A great location with very friendly and helpful staff. The activities centre is efficient with very attentive staff although if busy you will need to be prepared to wait. The food was excellent and the chef needs congratulated! The room was good, very clean and the bed in particular was very comfortable. Beware of the monkeys but keep your shutters... More

A lovely hotel, very helpful staff, very welcoming and sitting overlooking the Zambezi river from the swimming pool is great. The rooms are luxurious and air conditioned. There is a nice bar and restaurant. The hotel has its own boat which cruises every evening at 4pm up the river. Don't miss this, we saw elephants, hippos, a biiiig crocodile and... More

I had just finished a safari and couldn't wait for a peaceful afternoon and night in Livingstone. The David Livingstone lived up to all my expectations. For a start, the hotel is beautiful, it big without feeling distant. Staff were incredibly helpful - nothing too much trouble - including catching a spider for me. I stayed in room 269 on... More
