Livingstone, Zambia

Zambezi Sun

This is a clean, large hotel that has the 'location, location, location' in Livingstone. For families, people on a budget or energetic folks interested in lots of activities, this is a great home base. What it lacks in character, it makes up for in function.  — Mango's view

Victoria Falls is a site that no visitor to Southern Africa should miss. Local tribe's people describe it as 'mosi o tunya' or the smoke that thunders. The nearby 3-star hotel, The Zambezi Sun, features adobe-style architecture. Simple finishes highlight bright mosaics and fabrics and the intoxicating environment is characterized by ethnic wall stencils, timber and plaster ceilings, Zambian artworks and accessories. It is constructed in a series of eight buildings, consisting of the guest rooms and a central pavilion of restaurants. The guest rooms acknowledge their African roots in the deep rich red earth color of the rounded planes of its walls. In the early evening the dark outline of the hotel is set against iridescent curls of smoky vapor that dance above its roofline.

Optional activities include soaring above the falls in a micro-lite aircraft, rafting the mighty Zambezi River or golfing where baboons and warthogs have free run of the fairways. You can choose to take a sunset cruise before dinner one night on the upper Zambezi River.
