Fodor's Expert Review Jollyboys

34 Kanyanta Rd., Livingstone, Southern, Zambia

The entire design of this small establishment is user-friendly, inviting, and certainly aimed at both private relaxation and easy interaction with other travelers. Superbly maintained and professionally run, the lodge offers a variety of room types to suit every budget and need. The restaurant serves the usual hamburger but also has a number of surprises on the menu, including a full roast on Sundays and exotic vegetarian soups made from local sweet potatoes and Indian spices. A kilometer away from the backpackers, just behind the Royal Livingstone Golf Course, is Jollyboys Camp, which is slightly more relaxed and family-friendly.

PROS

  • very central location
  • free daily transfers to the Falls
  • social atmosphere

CONS

  • the lodge and camp are for backpackers, so are pretty basic
  • not for those looking for tranquil accommodations surrounded by nature
  • can get a bit rowdy
