aha The David Livingstone Safari Lodge & Spa

The David Livingstone Safari Lodge has the most beautiful scenery, gardens and friendly staff. Ideal place for business, vacation and adventure. Staying there gives you an adventure of a lifetime and of course value for your money. Excellent Services. I cant wait to go back again....

It was excellent and exceptional and really met my expectations, i am looking forward to have a stay at your hotel.

My stay at David Livingstone was very good. I had a wonderful experience. My sleep was sound and without disturbance. The service was also very good.

The David Livingstone Safari Lodge & Spa is something of a Zambian icon, and I was drawn to it for both its name and association with the location, on on the recommendation of colleagues both in country and at home. The service was attentive without overstepping, and every member of staff was courteous, friendly, and genuine. They attempted to help with all matters, including contacting third parties. From arranging airport transfers to day trips, or chasing connections that were late, it felt no aspect was too much to ask. The room was incredibly comfortable and beautifully appointed. After two weeks in volunteer camps, it was absolute luxury. My only note was I found both the refrigerator and air con units quite loud and a little intrusive into a good night’s sleep. Food at both the bar and restaurant were of excellent quality, and the terrace bar especially offered excellent value without compromising on quality. However, on two nights of my stay, the only option was a buffet - and I found this very expensive with limited options. I know these appeal to Americans and offer great value if you eat enough - but I found it hard to get competitive value. It was disappointing not to have other options available given little else is accessible nearby. However, if you are eating on the terrace, I can heartily recommend the native freshwater crayfish. They were incredible. And in the restaurant, the game roast (Kudu) was also excellent. I did have to ask for my room to be turned down twice during my stay - but this was actioned very quickly and with apologies. The other thing of note is the sundowner cruise. This was an excellent experience but offers the best value to those who drink alcohol. For me, where one such drink is enough, other experiences may have been better suited on reflection - and these can be arranged and discussed through Wild Horizons on their office in the lobby. Again, I can heartily recommend them. The infinity swimming pool was a special place to watch sunsets over the river, as well as a great place to cool off that never got too crowded. Evening swims are not recommended though due to the proximity of the river and potential wildlife. Overall wonderful!

The David is a lovely hotel, if you stay here your experience will be truly unforgettable. My room was spacious, clean, and had a breathtaking view of the Zambezi river. The staff were super helpful and accommodating. I highly recommend taking the sunset cruise and coordinating your excursions with their onsite concierge.

The facilities are wonderful, staff pleasant and available to help. There is a variety of delicious food served for breakfast, lunch and dinner a list of activities to do.
