For almost
100 years, visiting members of Royal families, international and
local statesmen, and celebrities worldwide, have preferred to
stay at The Victoria Falls Hotel, where they are assured of
privacy and care. An atmosphere steeped in history, combining
the charm of the old with the comfort and convenience of today.
It is one hotel that can truly claim to be unique.
The Livingstone Room Elegant dinner and dancing with a classic, la carte menu. As
a result of many requests from visitors, The Victoria Falls
Hotel has decided to relax aspects of the long-standing dress
code in force in its premier dining venue, The Livingstone Room.
This is in recognition of the fact that many travellers do not
bring with them the more formal clothes that have until now been
mandatory in this restaurant. Smart casual wear will now be
acceptable in The Livingstone Room at dinner each evening. The
fine silver-service dining experience that visitors have come to
expect will continue to be the order of the day, however.
Luxurious Accommodation with Breathtaking Views Our rooms are decorated in a manner that recaptures the
comfortable charm of a bygone age, with colonial prints,
four-poster and canopied beds, antique furniture and well-chosen
artifacts. Modern facilities and amenities mingle well with the
old-fashioned ambience, including such 21st century travellers'
necessities as personal safes, minibars, bathrobes, digital
satellite television and even umbrellas for the convenience of
guests visiting the Rain Forest surrounding the Falls. Deluxe
Rooms and Suites in the original section of the hotel offer
breathtaking views across the deep Zambezi River gorge to the
Victoria Falls Bridge and the spray of the Falls.
Recreational Facilities There are two all-weather, floodlit tennis courts on site. A
full range of other sports is available nearby, including an
18-hole, championship golf course at Elephant Hills

Hotel), Casino located at the Kingdom Hotel (5 minutes walk from

A Private Path to the Falls
David Livingstone, intrepid explorer, siting the Falls for the
first time from his dugout canoe, in November 1855, could hardly
believe his eyes at such a spectacle. It is widely accepted that
it was he who brought the discovery to the rest of the world;
the Falls were named after his Queen Empress, Victoria.
