The Royal Sichango Village

Great place!

Reviewed By larissa_kamarainen

We were at The Royal Sichango for 2 nights in the king suite. Great space, clean, no mosquitos, just a bit hot, the air conditioner cannot cool the room. Darius and all the staff were super attencious and nice, special mention to Jonas, who drove us to the city and also guided us to the falls. We had a great time at the hotel and definitely we would recommend it!

Victoria Falls Waterfront

The Victoria Falls Waterfront is situated on the Northern banks of the Zambezi River, approximately 4 km's upstream from The Victoria Falls and just opposite Siloka (Long) Island.This establishment is designed to attract the younger more adventurous traveller (and of course the young at heart!) who wish to experience the Great Zambezi River, the wonder of the Victoria Falls and its stunning wildlife surrounds, without great expense. It is designed to cater for all travellers, from camping to basic, good quality chalet accommodation. The Waterfront has some lovely riverside chalets with balconies and stunning views. We also have Adventure Village Tents which are permanent tents with 2 x single beds and a campsite - so something to suit everyone. The lodge has fantastic amenities including 2 x swimming pools, a popular bar, restaurant with Peppino's by the river's pizza's (delicious!). There is also an internet cafe, wifi, small souvenir shop and a large activity centre who will help with all activities in the area.

Lovely Zambezi side chalet

Had a good experiance at waterside lodge. Room was cleaned daily and comfortable with a riverside location with amazing sunset view. The hotel location is by the riverside which is a bit out of town and would need taxi transfer to all sites including the Falls. I had a phone number of a great taxi driver which proved valuable for getting around. All staff at the hotel were welcoming. The bar and restaurant suited me as solo traveller which is what had motivated me to stay there rather than a large hotel group which might have had more luxury facilities . over all I enjoyed my stay at the waterside lodge

An excellent place to stay

Reviewed By Akulasthraxus

I do a lot of traveling while working remote and Laurent and his staff were amazing in both getting me a great room to stay in, as well as, a room closest to the wifi router, and helping me book all of the adventures that can possibly be done in the entire area (Victoria Falls, Devil's Pool, high tea with elephants, river rafting the Zambezi River, a day trip to Chobe in Botswana). I would happily stay here again!!

A nice little lodge

Reviewed By kuu-kanko

Kamunjila was a small lodge not far from the main business area of Livingstone town. It had a nice setting with trees and other vegetation and a pool. My room was pretty simple and basic, but there were flowers in the room to give some character. The room was clean and worked well, even though the quality of construction was quite low, e.g. doors were smaller than the door openings. When the front door was closed, such an opening was left between the door and the frame that the door didn't lock properly. The room was equipped with aircon and both UK and South African power sockets. The bed had a mosquito net. The shower wasn't up to Western standards, but did the job (the water was warm, but it took a while for it to warm up, and the water pressure was not great, but sufficient). WiFi worked mostly well, but sometimes it got slow. The area was quiet. The lodge water tanks were right next to my room and the sound of the water pump (or something similar) disturbed slightly. The business area of Livingstone town was a bit over 5 minutes away by foot, but it wasn't very useful for a tourist, as it had mostly shops and services targeted for locals (clothing, banks, etc.). There were a few supermarkets and some restaurants there. The Livingstone museum was about 15 minutes away by foot. A small lodge like this would easily get wonderful reviews by having a great service attitude. Unfortunately Kamunjila missed that opportunity. Looking at earlier reviews, I was probably served mostly by a different member of staff. I had to ask separately for almost every detail and often the answer was very short. E.g. I asked when the breakfast is and was told to come at 07:30. When I came, I saw it was a buffet, so it probably doesn't have an exact timing. I also asked where I could change money and was told to go change on the street without any further instructions (another guest overheard the discussion and was so kind to change money for me). The breakfast had pancakes, muffins, toast, cereals, juice, coffee, tea and a fresh fried egg and bacon. The lodge also served dinner. The dinner was quite pricey: I paid $45 for two dinners with dessert but without drinks. The quality of food was not up to the price, e.g. the chicken in my chicken curry was chewy.

Wane Guest Lodge

What a hospitality!

Reviewed By yanyan-doggie

I and my husband stayed for 3 nights for our vacation. The accommodation is a bit far from Livingstone town (about 40 minutes walk), but very cost-effective. The room is clean and comfortable with AC and fridge, and they have a nice garden, pool and bar, too. We felt truly at home thanks for Patrick and other staff's hospitality and kindness. Their hospitality was stunning, and the stay was far beyond the value for money!

Chair in the Bathroom

Reviewed By Guilfybear

It's difficult to write something bad especially when you can exactly explain what was wrong. Why was there a sofa chair in the bathroom? This is a tired guesthouse some distance from town and any attractions. Staff are friendly although overall place is in need of an update especially if they wish to charge rates comparable with more modern hotels in town.

The Butterfly lodge provides an atmosphere which is conducive in providing our guests to take a break from their various busy schedules, to a place where they can find comfort and tranquillity.

A pleasant surprise

Reviewed By pivak6

Frankly - I had low expectations. One week at this place costs the same as one night in a good hotel. And when we arrived, it was almost impossible to take a shower (low water pressure), also the WiFi wasn't working and a few hours later, there was a power outage... But the next day, someone fixed the plumbing. We were told the correct WiFi password. The swimming pool turned out to be large enough for actual swimming and pretty clean as well. And thanks to the well equipped kitchen, we could enjoy the delicious Zambian beef - most restaurants in Livingstone don't know how to make a proper steak, so cooking it yourself is a necessity! I understand the negative review, though - the owners are not always reachable, communication with them can be frustrating. And yes, they do require a 30% pre-payment. It can be done using PayPal.
