Property Overview

The Royal Livingstone Victoria Falls Zambia Hotel by Anantara sits along the banks of the Zambezi River, offering direct and unlimited access to Victoria Falls. Victorian-inspired architecture combines with expansive river views, while zebras, giraffes, and impala are frequently seen roaming the property's lawns. Dining venues overlook the water, spa treatments take place beside the river, and sunset cocktails have become a longstanding tradition on the sundeck. Throughout the property, private verandas and thoughtfully designed accommodations create a relaxed retreat within Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park.
