This is a nice place to stay, right at the edge of the Victoria Falls. I found it to be nice and the rooms were excellent. However, the service was not as good as I expected and it seemed a little "Disneyland like" with the zebra and giraffe which were obviously tame walking the grounds.

We are just back from staying at the Zambezi Sun. We stayed there for 5 nights and loved it. The location of the hotel is great as it is only about 20 or so minutes from Livingstone airport. You are right next to the Vic Falls, you can even hear the 'thunder' if you listen from your room you are... More

Most people seem to end the safari with a stay here but I think this place is a great place to start. The Zambezi sun hotel is part of a complex – the royal livingston, the zambezi sun and a conference centre. Staying at the zambezi sun you can walk the entire area – the royal livingston has quite a... More

The Royal livingstone and Zambezi Sun are on the same property and are sister hotels. The Zambezi is more kid friendly. The main restaurant is only buffet, it was not impressive and incredibly expensive. If you stay here and your meals are not included do yourself a favor, walk or take the inter hotel tram provided and have lunch or... More

We had 2 nights at this hotel and loved it. Our room was quite and the bed was a good. The airconditioning worked well and was quiet but our shower rose was a dud. The hotel was a short walk to the falls so it is perfectly placed for an afternoon stroll beside the river and down to the falls.... More

The best thing about the hotel is its location, a few minutes walk from the Victoria Falls. Located in a national park with zebras and giraffes grazing in the premises adds to the charm. Rooms are attractive. Bed is too soft and only one chair in a room leaves the other person standing. Service was good and breakfast spread was... More

Another case of poor staff service ruining what could of been a good stay. The hotel is in a good location next to the falls and the rooms are pleasent but the service there was really poor. I was on my own which may have meant that they just forgot me but I was left to wait over an hour... More
