Location & Wildlife

Guests have free unlimited access to Victoria Falls through a private gate, a 10-minute walk from the hotel. Zebras, giraffes, and impalas roam freely across the manicured lawns, offering wildlife encounters without leaving the property.

Each guest room at the Royal Livingstone comes with a private balcony or terrace overlooking the gardens or the river. The infinity pool is set on the edge of the lawn with direct views of the Zambezi River and the rising mist of Victoria Falls. Common areas feature colonial-style architecture with local Zambian design elements, and the grounds are patrolled by golf carts for convenient transportation.
