Fodor's Expert Review The David Livingstone Safari Lodge and Spa

Riverside Dr., off Sichango Rd., Livingstone, Southern, Zambia

Rooms at this luxury waterfront lodge, which is set within Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, have their own private views of the Zambezi and feature a tasteful blend of teak furnishings, big four-poster beds, and ornate standalone bathtubs. The main reception areas boast high and handsome thatched roofs, while the expansive sundowner deck and infinity pool are great spots to watch hippos happily honking away in the river. The lodge's splendid double-decker riverboat, the Lady Livingstone, departs for sunset cruises with drinks and canapes daily and is a must while staying here. 

PROS

  • very easy access to the Zambian side of the Falls
  • an excellent Afro-Arabian fusion food menu
  • extensive spa offerings

CONS

  • with 77 rooms, it doesn't have the exclusivity factor of some other lodges
  • it's child-friendly, so not always the quietest spot
  • this section of the river can become quite congested with boats at sunset
