We went to Zambia to celebrate our son's wedding and we all stayed at Chanters Lodge. Richard made our stay there so enjoyable. He was helpful from the very first email I sent and sorted out the right rooms for us all and booked the trips to Chobe safari park for us prior to our arrival. He was there at... More

We have just returned from a 3 night stay at this wonderful lodge, as part of a larger exploration of Zambia. Richard was a perfect host, collecting us from the airport and recommending many activities to make the most of our short stay. All of the staff were welcoming and friendly, especially Anastasia who helped us book activities and kept... More

We stayed at Chanters in March 2013. Richard met us at the airport and took wonderful care of us for the duration of our stay. The staff were delightful and attentive. The food was good and the dining service always excellent. We were invited to take part in Richard's Sunday evening radio program and that was great fun. Our room... More

Thanks for your kind review and for appearing on our radio programme which we hope you enjoyed. Sorry for the plumbing problems you experienced during your stay, these things do happen from time to time, we have subsequently replaced a pressure switch on a pump, the cause of much of the problem.

It begins and ends with Richard, the man has style, and his Lodge has charm.My daughter and I were ending our African trip with a visit to Victoria Falls, Chanters provided the perfect spot,relaxed and comfortable, close to downtown and minutes away from the Falls.The staff was attentive and always helpful.

This lodge oozes old school charm. I have stayed there three times now and for me Livingstone town Zambia, is the Victoria Falls, the buslting market and streets, the colonial facade, the elephants ambling across the Falls road, the white washed churches AND the Chanters experience. Richard Chanters is the charismatic and polite owner who greets guest over breakfast and... More

Having previously stayed in Livingstone at a reasonable B and B, I was hopeful that Chanters would at least be as good as judged by comparative reviews. I would say that whilst Chanters did not surpass my previous positive experience in every particular, my overall impression is that it vastly outshone the former. When it comes to evaluating value for... More

My boyfriend and I stayed at the lodge in March. It is a quite place walking distance to the town (where there is a great market for crafts). The staff are attentive and very professional and provide excellent service. We stayed in a pool side room which was large and well kept and great for the price, which included a... More

Chanters lodge is a comfortable, clean, well run facility. Our group of 6 just returned from our second visit there in 2 years, and were just as pleased this year as last. They have restaurant and bar facilities on-site and are very hospitable. Richard Chanter went above and beyond to accommodate our group and make sure everything was good. They... More

Picked up on time,dropped off on time, nice rooms, recommended and booked my activities at a tenth the price of the bigger hotels. I only had two days and had not planned anything - so I needed advice. They were always willing to help. The rooms were quaint and clean with no mosquitoes so I did not use the net... More

We loved the atmosphere at Chanters. It was so relaxing to sit in the garden, listen to the sounds of the water fountain, and mess around in the pool. Richard was a great host, and Anastasia and the rest of the staff provided excellent service. The food is very good - we especially enjoyed Anastasia's chicken and Junior's brown beans,... More
