The Royal Livingstone is a serene and gracious refuge from the heat of the African sun. The 173 luxurious rooms and suites with their comfortable furnishings are tastefully decorated in the soft earth tones of the bushveld, with spreading views of the river and the Acacia forest. Guests may pass lazy days on the magnificent sundeck overlooking the Zambezi River as it flows relentlessly to The Falls, and enjoy fine dining in the restaurant, or on the long verandah overlooking the gardens. In the warm smile of your personal butler, or the simple luxury of your cane chair, you will find an Africa that has all but vanished. For guests with an appreciation of adventure, the Zambezi is Africa's playground. Guests may view Africa's big five on a cruise up the river, up close from a private Land Rover, or even take in the scenery from the elevated perspective of an elephant's back.
