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 with it's large menu was excellent value. We ate almost all our meals there and especially enjoyed the local dishes. The rooms are very basic and adequate. We were only in our rooms for sleeping and the rest of our time was spent either sightseeing or relaxing in the pool and gardem area. I can't recommend Chanters Lodge enough and it's the only place we will stay when we return. Congratulations to Richard and his staff, they're providing excellent value for travellers!!

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 wine selections. If there is a slight downside to this lodge, it is that the rooms are due for a facelift, but at the prices it is hard to complain.

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.

Richard Chanter, the owner, was excellent. He was extremely welcoming and made sure that we had everything we needed. His team were also on their toes to make sure our stay was pleasant. If i return to Livingstone, Ill be going to Chanters again.
Thanks for an enjoyable stay and for looking after us. Keep up the good work!

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 was a relief to meet Richard Chanter, with a warm and positive attitude concerning the Zambian people and concerned about how their lives.
A good place to be !!!!!
