Stanley and Livingstone Private Game Reserve, Victoria Falls

The hotel has a colonial look, but with every modern convenience, including the internet. The staff are very attentive and willingly arrange transfers and activities for you. We were only there for one night , but it would be an ideal place to combine relaxation with a range of activities. It was 30C in August but not oppressive. The hotel is located outside of Victoria Falls which is a real benefit. It is in the bush about a ten minute ride from town and has its own water hole which attracted a range of animals for great photo opportunities. Transfers to and from Victoria Falls were easily arranged on request. Well worth a visit.

As stated earlier the staff was very friendly and the hotel was immaculate. Believe me I looked, because the hotel we came from in Cape Town was beautiful and I was ready to be let down and kept my expectations low, but no need. I loved it except for the fold away bed, not comfortable. There were three of us girls. We rotated the three nights we were there. I just got more than I expected with the accomdations. We did have to pay for lunch at the lodge and you have to pay for transport after one on the house transfer. That is ridiculous considering there the only game around if you want to go to town. This was a once in a lifetime trip for me so I planned on spending so no problem. The staff more than made up for anything I felt was superfluous in the way of charges. I like the quiet and secludedness of the S and L. I viisited the VF hotel beautiful, but a lot of people. The lodge is intimate even though full while we were there it didn't feel that way. Again bring cash, dollars, rand, or euros, not ATM, bank, or credit cards accepted. Do the helicoptor flight over the falls and the Zambezi River cruise, breathtaking!
