My wife and I stayed here for 4 nights at the end of our 3 week African adventure. Overall I was very impressed with the hotel. Check in and out was a breeze and the reception staff and concierge were friendly and helpful. The pool itself was enormous and the surrounding area/grounds were beautiful maintained.

The Zambezi Sun has one of the best locations near Victoria Falls. Grounds are beautiful, rooms are nice. Service is spotty - some people will go out of their way to help, others don't seem to care. Proximity to the falls was great, as well as the ability to view animals right on the grounds. This place is good for... More

My wife and I were collected at the Livingstone Airport by the hotel shuttle service. During the 15 minute drive to the hotel, the driver stopped for us to view an elephant grazing right next to the main road. During our arrival at the hotel we were treated to a real African experience by being welcomed by African dancers dressed... More

On the up side. The Hotel is attractive and the pool and grounds very well kept.Lovely to see the Zebra just strolling around and the access to the falls was so easy. Our tour of the falls was great. Be warned you get very wet so wear thongs or crocs as it took days for my walking shoes to dry.... More

To be honest, I don't know where to start? Hotel is located just a walking distance from one of the natural wonders of the World, Victoria Falls. Beautifully decorated with taste and style. Everything about this place wants you to just "be there". Rooms are spacious and clean. Large, outdoor swimming pool sparkles invitingly, while the local jazzy band plays... More

Superb location. You can walk to the falls in 5 minutes. We were offered a room on ground floor facing the falls. But the fall was not visible from our room, it is out of sight. The hotel is very expensive. They have Zebras, Giraffes in hotel campus. Their pool is very large. Breakfast was OK (not very good). Wi-Fi... More

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
