From the forested banks of the hotel gardens, honeymooners will see the spray of Victoria Falls, rising like a cloud across the bushveld and throwing rainbows hundreds of feet into the air.

The hotel is a serene refuge from the heat of the African sun and will immerse you in the romance and style of a bygone era. Meals may be taken indoors under softly lit chandeliers or on the veranda, where the cool river breeze gently stirs the night air. Special dinners under star-studded skies can be arranged.

Two activities are included during your stay at the Royal Livingstone. The date and time will be determined after discussion.

Falls Tour

Explore the African curio market outside the park before returning to the hotel.

Zambezi Sunset Cruise

At a time to be agreed upon, you will be met at the hotel and transferred to the launch site of your cruise. Sip cocktails while watching the sunset over a magnificent wilderness with the occasional hippo snorting and birdsong filling the air.
