Avani Victoria Falls Resort

Avani Victoria Falls Resort

10/10 Excellent
"Our stay at AVANI Victoria Falls Resort in Livingstone, Zambia, was nothing short of extraordinary. What began as a joint birthday getaway for two best friends became an unforgettable celebration filled with adventure, laughter, breathtaking scenery, remarkable wildlife encounters, and exceptional hospitality. A special spotlight belongs to Ritah, our phenomenal Guest Services Guru! Her warmth, kindness, professionalism, knowledge, and genuine intentionality made our experience truly remarkable. Ritah went above and beyond to help us identify meaningful activities, anticipate our needs, and ensure our birthday celebration was memorable. She doesn't simply provide guest services, she creates extraordinary experiences and lasting memories! Her thoughtfulness and commitment to excellence are invaluable assets to AVANI. One of our most treasured experiences was the five-course candlelit dinner at the Lunar Rainbow View overlooking Victoria Falls. The spectacular setting, delicious cuisine, and attentive service from Victoria, Godfrey, Alfredo, and Feslitus made for an exceptional evening celebrating life and friendship. Feslitus is an amazing chef with extraordinary skills. Her talents should be highlighted! Another unforgettable highlight was exploring the resort grounds with Gabriel and Patrick. Special appreciation to Memory & Missole for their exceptional service. AVANI has character, natural beauty, and most importantly, their people. Thank you for making our trip great"
