"This is truly one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. Just being next to one of Africa’s great rivers, The Zambezi, makes it a destination resort unto itself. The star of our stay was Chulita. She made our stay and experiences unforgettable. She is a star! Thank you Chulita for a truly extraordinary adventure!"

"The location is amazing, relaxing and beautiful. The staff is great. The taxis services are good, but the most expensive I encounter during my trip to Africa."

"I realy do recommend staying here, the accommodation was beautiful, staff so freindly and helpful. The restaurant food was excellent. We saw so many wild animals in and around the river from our luxury tent. The sunset cruise from the hotel was excellent,"

"A great little lodge (about 10 rooms) with sensational friendly and helpful staff. We had breakfast and dinner, both of which were delicious. The bar is a little limited in range, but still good. The room was very comfortable and had everything we could need.
Overall a very comfortable and beautiful lodge - we definitely hope to be back."

"Awesome spot for a great price! Really good scrambled eggs in the morning. Just got to book a Yango to get there, or rent a car, but I'd recommend downloading Yango (like Zambia's Uber) before you go. And have cash to pay the drivers; the credit card feature on Yango is weird."

"When I made the reservation it was for Livingston MT I have asked for a refund. It is ridiculous that you are in Montana and show a place in Zambia?????"

The pool was lovely with great views across the nearby landscape. Not far from key attractions but do need a taxi. The staff are wonderful and very helpful. We had massages which were excellent and very reasonable. We ate 2 nights and the food was very good and again reasonably priced. Nice local dishes alongside more usual burgers etc. Overall a lovely stay and would highly recommend

A beautifully situated hotel with a relaxing feel. It’s a bit of a way from the border which is also a pain to cross as you get hassled a lot. Negotiate hard for the taxi from the border. We started with one guy at $35 and ended up at $12 with another. We probably could have got it for $10.
The pool, like all the others we encountered on our trip, was freezing. Not sure why this can’t be heated a bit in the winter??
Our room had a dodgy cupboard light which went on and off every minute during...

Gloria’s is like an oasis. A clean, well run B+B, and Gloria and her staff were always there to top up your cold, fresh juice, or give you a ride to town if they were going that way.

Excellent staff (Mirriam, Matthews, Mike, Ernestine, Paulina all very friendly and helpful), good value for money for a private room, well laid out with pool, catering facilities and mix of dorms and private rooms, good location for access to everywhere. I had a wonderful stay especially as I spent more of my time inside the lodge than outdoors.

The welcome was amazing which my children loved and appreciated a lot. I am a Zambian who has lived and given birth to my children abroad. This was the first time I brought my children (24, 22 and 8 years old) to Zambia to fully embrace the culture and Avani gave us that. From the welcome to the night entertainment, and all the in-between surrounding activities were just phenomenal.
We could sit having a meal and the Zebras or impalas are also grazing just a few meters away from us without any...

The helpfulness of the staff, the support, the protectiveness , were all above and beyond expectations. We really liked the hotel, and its location about half way between Livingstone town and Victoria Falls. Several malls and restaurants are a short walk away. We do recommend the Protea- it’s a great option if the ultra pricey riverfront lodges or the further away town options don’t work for you. Very good breakfast options too! Also very cool to see zebras randomly walking down the hotel...

Brilliant, can't wait to visit again. Everybody was so friendly and helpful , which is ideal if you're a single traveller like myself. Would highly recommend this place to anyone, and it's so clean.

A comfortable stay in a hotel that offers very good value for the location. All staff were excellent. We were upgraded to a family suite which was very convenient. Would certainly recommend to families visiting the Falls, and on a budget.
