We spent 6 very relaxing days at this lodge. True, some of the facilities need updating, especially the decking, which is very dodgy in places, but if you are looking for rest and relaxation away from noises other than that of birds, hippos and other animals, this is the place. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. We had... More

This is our second trip to Natural Mystic. We traveled there from Monze where we were working at the Mission Hospital prior to traveling to the lodge for a little R & R. The property is gorgeous and sits on the river and in the bush. The chalets are large and clean with grass thatched roofs. The bar and restaurant... More

Although we did not find the accommodation unpleasant, we felt that this badly run lodge was in dire need of decent management or new owners. The food on the menu was very limited especially for vegetarians. The pool was more of a duck pond & although the bar menu had prices for wine they had none in stock. We had... More

The place is great but definitely badly run. Nobody is ever around at the reception/bar/dining area and - even worse - nobody seems to care. A real pleasure as the infrastructure and locations are fantastic and this place could be a true gem. We spent USD 140 per night per double - definitely NOT worth it!!

We stayed for two night at Natural Mystic lodge during our trip to Zambia and it was a great experience. Kathy and her staff were so friendly and warm. The rooms were clean, bathroom was big, bottles of water were provided throughout. We had the most peaceful and relaxing time sitting at the bar by the river, under the waterberry... More

Natural Mystic Lodge is a beautiful quiet lodge right on the banks of the Zambezi, about 15 kms from the falls (so you need transport) the rooms are wonderful with large mosquito netted beds and working showers AND baths. The bar right down to Zambezi is a wonderful place for a sundowner and dinner. Can only be recommended

I travelled to Livingstone with family & friends in October 2011. Our stay at the Natural Mystic was wonderful. The rooms were charming and clean, and the meals were delicious. The staff was very knowledgeable regarding the many activities available in Livingstone. One of the trip highlights was our sunset cruise leaving directly from the Natural Mystic. I hope to... More

Overall this is a great place to stay and I would recommend this to all of my friends. I am planning on returning to Zambia in three... More

I just finished my eigth stay there with my tour company. My clients are always very happy with the Natural Mystic. The staff is friendly and accommodating, the location is prime. It is just minutes from the magnificent Victoria Falls, but far enough away to not have to deal with the noise of all the other lodges situated closer to... More

My fiance an I booked Natural Mystic for 10 nights and held our wedding, and reception dinner at the lodge on the 8th September 2011. Firstly, I should explain that we are both from Africa, and know what to expect for our money. Also, we had a strict budget and therefore could not afford a 5 star venue or accommodation.... More
