We were looking for comfort while avoiding an international hotel chain. That is exactly what we experienced. Richard and his team were friendly and though we had work to do in Livingstone, Chanters was a good place to relax after work with evening meals on a veranda. The pool was small but quite adequate to freshen up on a hot... More

I stayed here at the end of December 2011. I'm a single / female traveler and I felt Chanters was really safe. Richard is extremely responsive and made booking a room easy via emails, he helped with questions I had before my trip, and helped arrange my transfer from Zimbabwe. My room was spacious, clean, had a refrigerator, A/C, TV,... More

We stay here for 1 night at the end of a Bostwana safari back in August 2011. As our taxi drove onto the grounds, Richard Chanter and two of his staff came out to greet us. We arrived early (around 10:30) but we were able to check in immediately. Our room turned out to be a suite: bedroom with two... More

Anastacia (not sure if i spelled correctly) for the friendly service and help with making reservations for our trip. My wife and I enjoyed our time at the lodge. Earlier reviews are all accurate. Reliable and Value for money. I... More

This hotel is a 2USD taxi ride to the centre of town. Richard Chanter, the owner is a very charming person. He greets you personally on arrival & when you return from an outing. Richard also offers to pick you up upon arrival in Livingstone & drops you to your departure point. We had a situation where the bus company... More

The stay in Chanters Lodge has been very comfortable. On our arrival, Richard was picking us up at the airport (included in the room rates), welcoming us very friendly and even offering us a bigger room for free. The rooms were very big and clean including aircondition, tv and even a fridge. We recognized real hospitality and helpfulness when forgetting... More
