On arrival at Livingstone International Airport a representative from Stanley Safaris will meet and transfer you to the lodge (20 mins), where you will settle into your accommodation.

Stanley Safari Lodge is located on the hills overlooking the Zambezi River and Victoria Falls in a bush location. Set on a hill bordering the Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park and overlooking unspoilt bush, Stanley Safari Lodge is only 3km from the Victoria Falls.

The open-sided Main House has been designed with space and views in mind and has a truly African feel.

Enjoy sundowners in the African style lounge, a 3-course dinner in the dining room or spend some quiet time in the library or upper deck discovering the secrets of Africa.

Each with a private balcony ensuring spectacular views overlooking the Zambezi River and suites has plunge pools.

Accommodation

Accommodation is in 10 uniquely designed chalets that are constructed of teak and local stone and are open fronted or more colonial style brick and tiled rooms which are closed.

Rising from the wetlands of northern Zambia and going through six countries before heading into the Indian Ocean, the spectacular Zambezi River more than deserves its title as one of the longest rivers in Africa.

If you follow the Zambezi further downstream, you’ll reach the Lower Zambezi National Park., of which there is a wide range of activities on offer in the area. These can be pre-arranged or can be booked at the lodge, options to see the falls, town museums and markets and an amazing sunset cruise.

For the more adventurous, Livingstone boasts a whole host of adrenaline filled activities including white water rafting, bungee jumping and micro lighting.

Or you may just wish to rest in camp and enjoy the spectacular scenery and peaceful atmosphere.

The day will end with a relaxed dinner and perhaps drinks in the wine cellar or just enjoying your family suite.

The closed colonial Stanley family Suite with private plunge pool has the same style and feel as the Livingstone Suite. As it is a Family Suite, it has a smaller children’s bedroom with twin beds, shower, washbasin and toilet. The master bedroom has double or twin beds, double shower, bath, washbasin and toilet. The lounge which is between both rooms has a fireplace, while the covered terrace has its plunge pool.
