My wife and I along with our two adult daughters and their partners had the pleasure of staying with Richard and staff in early May. The abundant advice and help Richard offers are what makes his establishment so unique. Nothing is too much trouble for him to assist with. We really enjoyed relaxing by the pool and thought the restaurant... more

Chanters Lodge thrives on service for its guests, from Richard Chanters, the owner, to his entire staff. They go out of the way to accomodate each guest, at least that was how we experienced them during our three day stay. The restaurant provides a varied menu of well prepared local and continental options at reasonable prices. Full service bar and... more

Thanks for your accurate review. We have already completed painting and decorating in three out of the ten rooms and hope to have them all finished soon. Sorry if this caused some inconvenience but thanks for the nice review anyway.

Looking for a relativiely small guesthouse, not expensive, in a green area, on footwalks distance from the city center, not far from the falls, we found after visiting some hotels this Chanter Lodge. It offered what whe were looking for. Many times I have been thinking during this travel through Zambia and Congo: angry white man, go home. So it... more

After reading all the reviews and then staying here it is difficult to find anything to say that hasn't been addressed before. Without a doubt the highlight of a trip to Chanters Lodge is the support and personal service you get from Richard. He is happy to discuss your itinerary, offering great suggestions and tips on any aspect of visiting... more

Chanter's Lodge is an affordable, comfortable place to stay in Livingstone. It has a main building with a large lounge, bar and terrace, gardens and rooms both in the main building and arranged around the courtyard. It is located on a potholed road within convenient walking distance of the main street, behind high walls like most places in Livingstone. The... more

I'm sorry you were unable to pay by credit card, this was a rare event, and I believe it's fair to say that usually we have no problem in this regard. We do accept both Visa and Mastercard but your advice is sound, the ATM's in Livingstone seem to dislike Mastercard. It was a pleasure to give you a spare...

We're sorry if we made a mistake with your reservation and also that you found the lodge 'a bit tired'. As you're not specific in the latter remark, it's hard for us to comment further. Thanks for your generally positive review and we'd be happy to welcome you back to Chanters again in the future.

After surfing the net and finding the only accommodation in Livingstone to be recommended by a certain site we contacted Richard (the owner) and so began the best holiday ever! All questions asked were instantly answered. All activities we asked about were given an honest appraisal by him and he gave recommendations if something else was better. In all, 9... more

Coming from some other land, these Guests really needed a home away from home. Thanks so much for a fabulous review - Susie, Monica, Alice and Anny were thrilled to be mentioned by name, so too Chris. We were delighted you had such a good holiday and thanks again for taking the time to post your review.
