The main hotel is a sequence of thatch-roofed buildings, most African in their influence, and incorporates the lounge, restaurant and bar. A classic swimming pool visually links the waters of the river with the terraces of the hotel, with a sweeping timber deck planted in the swirling water of the Zambezi.

The reception area is framed by a classic courtyard featuring a fountain and exuding the aroma of herbs from the interior gardens. Overhead, wooden fans cool the charged atmosphere. The resort's deep, shaded verandah, offers an uninterrupted view of the Zambezi River and is the ideal place to curl up with a book discovered in the well-stocked library. The lounge is filled with original artwork depicting scenes of David Livingstone's great African adventures.

Only footsteps from the Zambezi River, the rooms and suites offer a tranquil retreat from the unconstrained beauty of their surroundings. The Royal Livingstone, is a 5-star, 173-roomed luxury hotel. 

ROOMS

The rooms are two-storey clusters and each cluster comprises approximately 10 en-suite air-conditioned rooms, offering private balconies or terraces. Interior furnishings accentuate the influences of Africa translated into a cultured sumptuousness that reflects the essence of African Bush life. Natural light invades the bathrooms, as the luxurious sized showers allow natural light to filter through a milk-glass window.

All Standard rooms feature a butler service, Satellite TV, radio and video, coffee and tea-making facilities, mini-bar, mini-safe, and  telephones  with message ,wake-up and voice-mail facilities.

DINING

Enjoy leisurely breakfasts or ‘alfresco’ lunches on the verandah overlooking the rolling lawns and the mighty Zambezi River.

Traditional High Tea is served daily in the lounge under the watchful eye of Dr David Livingstone himself. As the day fades and the lengthening shadows bring cool relief, you can wander down to the sundeck to marvel at the grand sweep of the watery horizon burnt gold by the sinking sun, whilst sipping sundowners in the most romantic of settings.

Later on, as millions of tiny silver lights garland the dome of the night sky, it’s time to treat yourself to a romantic, private dinner on your balcony, where the soft gentle glow of old-fashioned oil lamps and the serenade of crickets are reminders that you are truly in the heart of Africa.
