Situated on its own private game reserve the Stanley and Livingstone is pretty close to a 30 minute drive from the town of Victoria Falls. It takes about 15 minutes via a paved road to a turn off, and another 15 minutes on a dirt road to the hotel itself. As we drove up to the entrance gate I noticed... More

WOW! This exclusive bush lodge is a one of a kind experience... Everything from the gorgeous decor to the personalised attention from the staff makes you feel like a star. Very memorable stay! We're already planning our return to this super special getaway. 2 areas for improvement: 1) smoking in publc areas should be banned 2) there should be an... More

Eureka! After years of travel worldwide to some fantastic places and staying at equally fantastic hotels we have finally discovered 'heaven on earth' .... in Zimbabwe! To translate the ambience of the Stanley and Livingstone into text .... well words fail us. Superlatives do not do this hotel/game lodge adequate justice. Other reviews have already expounded enthusiastically but suffice to... More

Charming cottages (I think only 16 suites), grounds beautifully landscaped. Fairly new facility, but with a Victorian/Colonial feeling. But the real beauty of this property is the staff. Incredibly nice, super attentive people. I travel with a heating pad for chronic back pain and when it didn't fit into the nearest outlet, they MADE an adapter for it! (Note, it... More

A really lovely intimate hotel in a beautiful setting. This was my wife's 50th Birthday celebration and our first trip to Zimbabwe. All the staff are lovely - nothing is too much trouble. The rooms and grounds are beautifully tended and the experience of watching wildlife at the watering hotel whiilst sipping cocktails in the pool is just amazing! The... More

This hotel is really lovely. We were fortunate enough to stay in the honeymoon suite, which had its own jacuzzi and was very private. All the rooms have views over the watering hole, where we frequently saw buffalo, elephants, zebras, kudus and other game. The breakfast is great and other food very nice. We organized a special meal in the... More

We were looking for a total relaxing break, and we certainly found it. The rooms were perfect a sitting room and a separate bedroom, you could sit out in the early morning and see a parade of zebras, kudu, baboons, even the occasional giraffe and elephant wander past. The staff were excellent, impeccable and friendly service, nothing was too much... More

We we're originally staying in Ursala Camp but due to renovations we got moved to Stanley and Livingstone. The hotel is amazing, we had our own suite and the food was gorgeous!! It was very peaceful and the staff were very helpful! The hotel was clean, spacious comfortable. Would defiantly recommend this hotel.

In many ways the hotel has a huge amount to commend it. It's away from the hustle and bustle of Vic falls, and it's quiet and peaceful. That does mean a drive down quite a rough road ride back and forth into town. The suites are spacious and exceptionally comfortable. Watching game at the watering hole from around the pool... More
