My husband and I booked to stay in Chanters Lodge after reading the great reviews on Trip Advisor. We had a lovely stay and Richard the owner was a fantastic host. He was very knowledgable on what were the best activities in the area and booked them for us, regularly dropped us down at various spots in Livingstone and the Falls, including our airport transfers. The room was spacious and comfortable with a lovely hot shower (and bath too). The food was delicious and the staff very friendly and helpful. The setting was very relaxing and tranquil.......definitely a little piece of paradise.

I read the awesome reviews on Tripadvisor and was lucky enough to find a vacancy. Even though I only stayed for one night I can attest to the great location (downtown Livingstone 15 minute walk away) wonderful hospitality from owner Richard and staff, great breakfast and free airport transfer. For my trip it was the perfect cultural transition as I traveled from Zambia back to the USA.

Just when will people learn how important personal service really is? From the moment I booked the reservation, I felt at home. Richard took care of things. I was coming to Chanters from a remote location with little access to either a phone or the internet, but everything worked perfectly. The greeting was warm and welcoming; the poolside room was great; the food worked for me (including the English breakfast each day); and the environment was relaxing. I could not have asked for more. Was it the Royal Livingstone? No. But is it a great value in an incredibly comfortable setting? Indeed!

We found Chanters Lodge in internet when I was looking for accommodation near Victoria Falls. As the prices were much cheaper and it was highly recommended we decided to book our accommodation at Chanters Lodge directly via e mail. After that we exchanged a lot of mails and got good advice on the activities and sights around Victoria Falls. Richard even booked a sunset boattrip for us. When we arrived on Dec 20 we were picked up at the airport by Richard personally. The room was quite big (a family room had 4 beds) but it was very basic. But we had everything that we needed even mosquito nets that appeared to be handy. There was even a small swimming pool in a nice garden where you could relax after a long day of sightseeing. The food was also marvellous at the restaurant. The best thing about the lodge was the hospitality of the personell and Richard who made us feel that we have been friends for a long time. We recommend this place to everyone who cares for personal touch, but if you look for luxury this is not the place for you.
