Stanley & Livingstone Boutique Hotel

Stanley & Livingstone is Victoria Falls first luxury boutique hotel, perfectly situated 15-minutes from the Falls themselves and surrounded by Victoria Falls Private Game Reserve. This makes it the ideal base from which to explore, as well as a quiet retreat in one of the continent’s most-loved destinations.

The hotel’s design takes a fresh and easy-going approach to colonial style, encouraging guests to settle in and relax. Simple comforts, attentive service, and excellent food enhance the experience, ensuring guests are very well taken care of – a trademark of Stanley & Livingstone.

Guests at Stanley & Livingstone are accommodated in 16 luxury Suites, privately set amongst the hotel gardens. Each is elegantly appointed, no one better than the last, with a canopied king-size bed, minibar, slipper bath and walk-in shower, TV lounge, and terrace – for morning coffees and private dinners.

Two sets of the Suites are interleading and give families their own space to settle in, while still enjoying the hotel’s warm Zimbabwean hospitality. Everything from in-suite spa treatments and dining, to outings (children have their own Mack & Madi Kids’ Adventure Explorers programme), is taken care of.

The Hotel Concierge is always on hand to assist, and complimentary transfers link guests to Victoria Falls. Days here can be filled with adrenaline-igniting activities, close-up wildlife encounters, and humbling cultural interactions. Or taken as a pause, settled into a hotel pool lounger.

About Victoria Falls

Zimbabwe’s most renowned tourist attraction and one of the most astonishing natural world wonders, Victoria Falls is an unsurpassed African destination for adventure, leisure and business. The hub of a great regional wildlife region, Victoria Falls is located centrally at the point where Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana and Namibia meet and makes regional get-togethers a breeze.

A 1,7km stretch of thunderous water tumbling over a sheer basalt cliff-face, Victoria Falls is one of the seven natural wonders of the world, and rates high on the list of ‘must experience’ destinations among travellers the world over. A friendly, bustling resort town just a few minutes from the Falls and the legendary Zambezi river, Victoria Falls is also an acclaimed World Heritage Site. Besides it natural beauty and the sheer marvel of its cascading thunderous sheets of water, it’s the unchallenged adventure capital of Africa with more than 50 activities available – and the list is growing.

There is something for everyone. Adrenalin junkies favour the famous 111m bunjee-jump, wild white-water rafting and high wire swings across the vast gorge, while those preferring quieter pursuits can enjoy river cruises, scenic flights over the Falls, elephant-back trails, golf and a plethora of other air, land and water activities.

Victoria Falls is also famed for its range of safari activities – walks with lions, elephant interactions, day and nocturnal game drives, bush walks, canoeing and even aerial safaris!

The highest falls water levels are February – through to April. During this period, the spray is heavy, so prepare for a drenching – part of the total Falls experience! Raincoats and umbrellas are available. In the drier months, river levels fall, allowing for an appreciation of the cavernous Batoka Gorge and spectacular photographic opportunities. We advise you to try out the Falls in different seasons.
