The best value of David Livingstone Lodge is its position, just on the banks of Zambezi River, that make this place very fascinating, above all at sunset. They are good to take advantage of it with the Sunset Cruise that departs from the Lodge’s dock every afternoon. It is a very enjoyable experience, very relaxing and satisfying also regarding the food and drinks that are offered (quite a full dinner with no limits drinks). Room are good and spacious. I suggest to ask for the ones facing the river. The hotel restaurant (that is divide into an upstairs deck and a ground level one) is quite good, nothing excellent but not bad. The only thing that you have to bear is the extreme and extreme slowness of the service. Also if you are the only table to be served, you have to wait infinitely for everything. Clearly is a matter of organization, even if, at dinner, we saw the restaurant manager (white) that was inside, but without great results. Anyway the staff and the welcome are very friendly. There is also an activities desk that is very fast and clear in their explanations and in replies, also by e-mail before arriving at the Lodge. Excursions prices are reasonable. I can say that is a good choice in Livingstone if you don’t want to spend the double in the super luxury lodges around.

Really, really nice hotel. Quite exotic feel definitely feels like a booshy place to be, as well as elegant. Very pleasant staff, very clean rooms, Rooms are beautiful and spacious. Boat cruise included, the lady Livingstone. Really good host, informative, and funny. We where lucky to see all animals on our trip. Hippos, giraffe, elephant, crocodile, impla, zebra, and monkeys plus birds. No rhino's seen on this trip (this time) Food We realised after we paid the bill that you can order from the main menu after we had eaten and eat downstairs at the bar area. Which would of been a 3rd of the price and eaten what we wanted and not have gone to waste. However, they kept the buffet open later for guests who arrived late from the large delay from zambia Airways, which everyone from the flight appears to be eating and I feel we all followed each other to the buffet rather then the bar area. Breakfast included is very nice, same area as the buffet. They make eggs to order their and then. Overall a amazing stay, I would come back again its very on par with the avani hotel. Highly recommend, we will be coming back

A friend and I spent our birthday week at the resort, and we wouldn't change a thing. The ambiance, service, and rooms were truly exceptional. The meals offer true value for the money spent. I absolutely loved the welcome reception, as well as the staff's professionalism and attention to detail. I highly recommend this resort!"

If I could give this place more than a 5, I would! The room was spacious and comfortable with a balcony overlooking the river (just be careful of the monkeys). The food at the restaurants was delicious and I enjoyed the variety of food available at the breakfast. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff who were all super friendly and helpful. We used the spa during our stay and I think it was the best massage either of us have ever had! We also did the Lady Livingstone dinner cruise which I cannot recommend enough - the food, the atmosphere, the views, it was just breath taking! If you can, I really recommend a stay here, you are guaranteed to have a lovely time!

The hotel exceeded expectations: the pictures on its website and on booking platforms do not do it justice! The premises and the rooms are really beautiful, with high levels of comfort, and very friendly service throughout. The sunset cruise seems expensive at a first glance but includes generous snacks and drinks, so it is worth doing. Three minor caveats: - the restaurants aren't a place to be in a hurry - airport transfers are a bit expensive at $25 per person (falls transfer is $28 return per car, much better value!) - the bathroom layout grants no privacy whatsoever in the toilet; the toilet has a door but it's a glass door with a huge gap.

The resort is amazing, nice view of the Zambezi river, the food was amazing with a variety on menu also other options for special diets. My family and I enjoyed our stay, the staff are kind, professional, welcoming made me and my family feel at home, always putting on a smile on their face and very helpful too. I would recommend if you wanted to have some quality time with your family it's the right place to be.

I recently stayed at the David Livingstone Hotel and overall had a lovely experience. The location is absolutely stunning, with beautiful views that really make your stay feel special. The rooms were comfortable and the atmosphere was peaceful, making it a great place to relax. That said, there are a couple of areas that could be improved. The washrooms didn’t have a bidet/hand shower, which made things a bit inconvenient and affected my comfort. Additionally, while the staff were polite, the service could be more attentive and efficient. Overall, it’s a great place with a lot of potential, and with a few improvements, it could easily be an exceptional stay.

We enjoyed our two nights’ stay very much. The location just by Zambezi river, the palm trees in the garden, spacious room, excellent breakfast, fantastic dinner cruise with live music and delicious canapés and 3 course dinner. Highly recommend this lodge.
