Excellent romantic hotel. Good for sightseeing. Great room. Awesome vibe.

Overlooking Victoria Falls, The Royal Livingstone Hotel by Anantara is set on the banks of the Zambezi River. Situated within the Mosi-Oa-Tunya National Wildlife Park, the hotel is part of a resort complex. Evoking Victorian elegance and colonial traditions, the property was named in honor of the legendary explorer who named the waterfall in honor of his queen.

Set amidst 17 riverbank residences, the property's luxury guest rooms and suites have private verandas with Zambezi River views, butler service, and interiors that blend Victorian times with modern comforts. There are writing desks, plush beds with fine white linens, satellite TVs, insect repellent devices and spray for outdoors, and minibars. Along with bathrooms offering soaking tubs, showers, and luxe amenities.

For dining, The Royal Livingstone Dining Room has a la carte options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The Royal Livingstone Express features fine dining aboard a classic steam locomotive as it passes through Africa's rugged landscape. While The Royal Livingstone Lounge has light meals and snacks, The Sundecks has an outdoor terrace with cocktails, and The Travelers Bar has a Victorian-inspired setting for Afternoon Tea and classic bar drinks.

Featuring river views, the Anantara Spa has three luxury gazebo treatment rooms for individuals and couples, with a one-of-a-kind setting on the banks of the Zambezi River amongst manicured grounds. Providing a full range of signature massages and treatments, there's also a gym facility and nail salon.

The resort has an array of recreational options for guests including unlimited access to Victoria Falls, an outdoor pool with views of the falls, river cruises and 4x4 safaris to see the Big Five, elephant treks, white water rafting, and jet boating at Batoka Gorge.
