In Malawi & Zambia with the ONE Campaign for a week. Hotels along the way were good - but ending up at the Zambezi Sun was two clear notches up. The rooms were of decent size, television are out-dated by western standards but the picture was clear and the channel selection adaquate. The restaurant is buffet F-L-D and they change... More

Extremely kind and capable staff, comfortable rooms, excellent restaurant and ideal location for visiting Victoria Falls make this hotel an excellent choice. The Zambezi Sun Hotel is a relaxing oasis. Within the same hotel group as the much pricier Royal Livingston Hotel just down the road, the Zambezi Sun offers good value. You can walk the level 10 minute path... More

Great start to our tour-holiday staying here, the hotel is very open and animals wander around everywhere! There is a resident giraffe and when we returned to the hotel after our first day out, there was a zebra stood by the swimming pool watching the evening entertainment! Surreal!!! The room was simple but nicely decorated in african style which i... More

As with everything in Zambia, very expensive. However, Victoria Fall's (Mosi-Oa-Tunta) makes it all worthwhile. The Hotel has lush gardens with free roaming antelope and zebra, large swimming pool and open plan restaurant and island bar. You are only a few minutes walk away from the Fall's, the hotel has it's own entrance gate and the entry fee is included... More

Stayed for 3 nights and visited the falls on many occasions as just a few minutes walk from the hotel. Nice hotel but had an initial problem with not accepting credit cards. Internet only free for 15 minutes per day in the lobby and a slow connection. Zebra and Peacocks roaming around the grounds - be careful of the monkeys... More

GW連休に2泊しました。事前情報が少なく、一体どんなホテルか不安でしたが、空港で捕まえたタクシーで到着してみたら、立派なリゾートホテルでした。チェックインもスムーズで、部屋までは荷物とバギーカーで移動しました(普段は近いので徒歩でした)。このホテルの特徴は、国立公園の中に位置していて、敷地の中に動物が居ることと、ビクトリアフォールズへ入場し放題というところだと思います(通常は10ドル?くらいかかるそうです)。朝の散歩がてら滝を見に行く、という気軽さです。 夕食のレストランはあまりチョイスがなく、結局ビュッフェレストランという感じでしたが、種類も豊富、デザートもたくさんあり、満足できるものでした。肉料理は大変美味です。朝食ビュッフェも同様に満足できます。オムレツは量が多いですがとてもおいしいです。 スタッフはとても親切で、多少ゆっくりなところもありますが、最後まできちんと面倒見てくれます。チェックアウトもスムーズで、アレンジ済みの送迎車の確認まで快くやってくれます。 隣接するロイヤルリビングストンホテルには川縁にウッドデッキのラウンジが有り、夕暮れ時いただくビールは最高でした。ホテル間は無料の送迎があります。 総じて、快適に滞在できるホテルだと思います。 We stayed this hotel fo 2 nights. As only limited information is avaivalbe, we were bit concerned how the hotel acutually was. However we found this hotel as fine resort hotel immediately after we got arrived. Check-in was smooth, and their porter brought us straight to the room with baggi car. Main features of this... More

This hotel has the best location to see the falls. Literally a 2 minute walk from the hotel to Victoria Falls. The great thing is by staying at the hotel you have free access to the falls. There are also some animals roaming around the hotel premises, such as zebras and monkeys, which gives a unique vibe. The hotel itself... More

this hotel, situated within the park area, is just a few minutes' walk away from the 'smoke that thunders'. In fact,one can hear the roar of the falls from the balcony when the door is open. The bonus is the free access you have to the falls from the back gate any number of times, from 6am to 6pm when... More
