We stayed two nights at Maramba last June, a very nice lodge to stay, in the middle of the road between Livingstone and Victoria Falls. We were coming back from a wonderful safari in SL National Park, so it was nice to see hippos eating in the property... The staff is helpful, especially with the booking of the activities that...

My family and I have stayed at this lodge three times in the last year and each and every time the experience has been wonderful. Arriving at reception you are greeted by friendly, helpful staff who quickly check you in (Check in at 14:00hrs only) and show you to your Chalet/Safari Tent, Luxury Safari tent. (I have stayed in all... More

This place was billed as luxury. That was an over statement. It was not cheap but it was over priced. There are no windows, no air conditioning, there is a fan but the only place you could get cool was the bottom of the bed outside the mosquito net. The restaraunt is at best cafe food - everything with chips.... More

I think that livingstone is overpriced, even compared to high cost tourist destinations. Taxis are USD10 (in a decrepit piece of 20 year old japanese junk) even for a 1Km ride. That aside, the lodgw was good value. Don't expect to see elephants in the lodge ground except in August, when one of the owners frightens them away with chilli... More

I chose the Maramba due to is excellent value for money. Prices range from 60 to 150$ which is a great deal given Zambian high prices (e.g. the Zambezi Sun charges 600$). Location is nice and peaceful directly at the Maramba river (more like a big pond), i.e. it's not on the Zambezi river which is a bit if a... More

From the moment you arrive the warm welcome stays with you! The staff, Brigitte, Theresa and especially Chiku were outstanding! ALWAYS smiling always helpful! The safari tent we had #7 was really cool! Good mosquito nets, no holes. Room was super clean and very airy. Lots of hot water for the shower. Food in the restaurant was delicious, the Christmas...

The Maramba River Lodge is tucked away on the banks of the Maramba River, in the Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, just a couple of miles from either Livingstone or Victoria Falls -- perfect location. Accomodations are a combination of safari-tents, luxury tents and chalets. There is a lovely restaurant perched with a view of the river, as well as an indoor-oudoor... More

We stayed over in Maramba River Lodge and opted to camp. We were given a nice camp site with a big tree and pitched camp here for two days. What a great stay! Clean ablusions and great service! The chalets and tents also looked like a great option. We will surely stay here again on our next trip. PS -... More

So we stayed nearly nine days at Maramaba Lodge and we were very happy with the accommodation and service. We were a family of four with two kids age 8 and 6 so finding a place that felt safe and friendly was high on our list. The pool is adequate, the food was pretty good and the staff was very... More
