Just upstream from mighty Victoria Falls – also known as Mosi-oa-Tunya, The Smoke That Thunders – The Royal Livingstone occupies one of the most privileged addresses in all of Africa. Regally flanked by manicured lawns where giraffe wander and antelope prance, this grand colonial-inspired retreat feels worlds away from the roar of the Falls, yet remains tantalisingly, mistily, just a five-minute stroll away. Fresh from an extensive renovation, the hotel is a happy melange of Victorian elegance and contemporary comforts. From the ritual joy of taking afternoon oolong-and-cakes on the lawn, to sipping a cool sundowner on the riverbank, or succumbing to a rejuvenating massage in a riverside gazebo mizzled by Mosi-oa-Tunya herself, life here unfolds at the unhurried, forever-unchanged pace of the Zambezi.
The hotel’s 93 guestrooms and suites have recently emerged from a comprehensive refurbishment, their stylishly refreshed interiors drawing inspiration from Zambia’s rich cultural heritage. Elegant furnishings, bespoke textiles, indulgent soaking tubs, generous rain showers, and modern comforts including upgraded Wi-Fi and air conditioning ensure a thoroughly contemporary stay. At your fingertips, their famous ever-at-the-ready butler service; always an attractive option is relaxing on your private veranda with views onto the mighty Zambezi River or the opulently lush gardens. Make the most of this remarkable setting with a choice of restaurants including riverside meals on the new Kubu Deck, loll in the pretty outdoor pool, linger over afternoon tea in the lounge, or enjoy a bespoke private dining experience beneath African skies. The riverside spa offers African- and Western-inspired therapies in secluded treatment cabanas, where the soundtrack includes the lilt of varied birdsong, the boisterous bray of zebra, even the occasional distant grunt of a hippo.
Royal Livingstone Hotel plays happy to host children of all ages.
Victoria Falls is, naturally, the superstar attraction here. Rain slickers provided! First off the mark is a guided walk along the dramatic edge of one of the world’s most extraordinary natural wonders: its vast curtain of water stretches more than a mile across and plunges relentlessly into the gorge beneath. A short boat journey visits Livingstone Island, where David Livingstone first gazed upon the spectacle he described as a sight fit for angels. Something to tell your children’s children about: the frisson of a dip into the famed Devil’s Pool at the very tippiest, edgiest lip of the Falls. And to truly appreciate the great cleave in the earth that is Vic Falls, perhaps we’ll take to the skies by helicopter. Gentler pursuits on offer include a sunset cruise on the Zambezi, a rewarding bit of birdwatching, or a cultural visit to nearby Simonga village.
