The David Livingstone Safari Lodge & Spa

Other than Victoria Falls, this is the best part of Livingston. The food and the Zambezi River cruise are pure awesomeness! Can't wait to go back! Perfect for a romantic get away.

Wonderful location on the banks of the Zambezi river. Great staff providing a exceptional service. We saw elephants crossing the river from our balcony. We really enjoyed our stay.

David Livingstone Safari Lodge: A Riverside Sanctuary of Luxury and Tranquility There are places you visit, and then there are places that leave an indelible mark on your soul. The David Livingstone Safari Lodge, nestled on the banks of the mighty Zambezi River near Victoria Falls, is undeniably the latter. From the moment you arrive, the lodge envelops you in an atmosphere of unassuming luxury and serene beauty, as though the world itself has paused to allow you a moment of quiet reflection. The view of the Zambezi is nothing short of mesmerizing. As the river stretches out before you, its calm, glassy surface reflecting the vast African sky, you realize that this is not just a place to stay—it's a place to breathe. The deck is the perfect vantage point to enjoy this stunning panorama, with ample seating to bask in the warmth of the sun, a book in hand, or a cool drink beside you. It’s the type of setting where time slips away, leaving you completely in the moment. And then there’s the pool. Visually stunning, its shimmering blue water is an irresistible temptation under the scorching 36°C heat. However, the real surprise is how refreshingly cool it is—offering a reprieve from the African sun in a way that far surpasses expectations. Inside, the rooms are nothing short of extraordinary. Every element of design has been meticulously thought out, from the sophisticated décor to the luxurious touches that make each room feel like a private sanctuary. Whether soaking in the tub or enjoying a revitalizing shower, the attention to detail is evident. And the bed? A dream-like retreat, reminiscent of the finest suites across the globe, ensuring that you sleep soundly, cocooned in comfort. Of course, air conditioning is non-negotiable here, and the room’s perfectly calibrated system ensures that no matter how high the temperatures soar outside, you remain blissfully cool within. Dining at the lodge is a culinary delight. Dinner was an unexpected triumph, particularly the fish and chips, prepared with such finesse that they felt at home in a Michelin-starred restaurant. Breakfast, too, was a highlight—the bacon cooked to perfection, the poached eggs masterfully done, and mushrooms bursting with flavour, elevating what is often a simple meal into something memorable. But what truly makes the David Livingstone Safari Lodge exceptional is not just the setting or the amenities, impressive as they are. It’s the people. Chris and his team embody the spirit of African hospitality, going above and beyond to ensure that every guest feels not just welcome, but cherished. Their warmth and professionalism make it clear that this is a place where connections are valued, and it’s that personal touch that transforms a great stay into an unforgettable experience. To those considering a visit to Victoria Falls, the David Livingstone Safari Lodge is more than a place to rest your head—it’s an experience, a sanctuary that beautifully balances luxury with the untamed beauty of its surroundings. I, for one, look forward to many more stays and future ventures with Chris and his team.
