Radisson Blu Mosi-Oa-Tunya Livingstone Resort

Livingstone, Zambia
$215-260/ éjszaka

Foglaljon ezt, ha You want a polished, modern sanctuary right on the Zambezi River where you can sip cocktails while watching hippos, without the rustic 'roughing it' vibe of a bush camp.

Miért szeretik az emberek

  • The river cruiser is a floating restaurant that beats any standard dining room
  • Impeccable cleanliness that feels more like a city luxury hotel than a bush lodge
  • The infinity pool overlooking the Zambezi is a legitimate 'pinch me' spot

Gyors áttekintés: It's a stunning, modern bubble of comfort that feels a bit like a corporate retreat dropped into the wild—perfect if you hate bugs but love views.

Értékelte @nawfanurie: I spent my days watching elephants from the pool and my evenings cruising the Zambezi at sunset. The mix of 5-star comfort and raw nature here is unmatched. If you want a soft landing into safari life without sacrificing luxury, this is absolutely the spot.

The hype

Guests are universally obsessed with the river views and the 'Yvonne' level of service, but many feel the food pricing is aggressive.

Reality check

The 'Garden View' rooms are nice, but you will feel a pang of jealousy every time you walk past a 'River View' room—the upgrade is the whole point of staying here.

  • You want to see wildlife (monkeys, zebras) without leaving the manicured lawn
  • You appreciate a high-pressure shower and reliable AC over 'authentic' thatched-roof charm
  • You're traveling with kids—the mini-golf and kids' club are rare finds in this region

Tisztaság és karbantartás

9.5
  • Housekeeping: Daily and thorough. Guests consistently report 'impeccable' rooms.
  • Bathroom hygiene: Spotless. Modern grout, no mold, high-pressure rain showers.
  • Maintenance: Like new. The hotel opened recently (2022/2023) and still feels fresh.
  • Linens & towels: Crisp, white, and high thread count. No 'grey' towels here.
  • Odors & scents: Neutral and fresh. No musty river smells in the rooms.

  • Cicadas and crickets (very loud seasonally)

Foglalás előtt

Jó tudni

  • Breakfast is NOT always included in the base rate—check your booking carefully or pay ~$15/pp onsite.
  • The hotel is inside a National Park, so you might see zebras on the driveway.
  • You cannot walk to the Falls from here; you need a taxi or shuttle.

Mit csomagoljak be

  • DEET bug spray (the hotel provides some, but bring the strong stuff)
  • Binoculars (you can spot elephants and hippos from your balcony)
  • US Dollars (small bills for tips and taxis are king here)

Szobagenie

Legjobb szobák

  • Premium Room with Zambezi River View (worth every penny for the sunset alone)
  • Villa Suites if you need space—they have separate living areas and better privacy

Kerülendő szobák

  • Ground floor Garden View rooms near the main path (less privacy, more monkey traffic)
  • Rooms near the Boma dinner area if you sleep before 9pm (drumming/music)

“I would love a Premium River View room on an upper floor, specifically away from the Boma restaurant area for quiet. If possible, a room with an unobstructed view of the Zambezi would be appreciated.”

GYIK és rejtett tippek

Minden, amit tényleg tudni szeretnél a foglalás előtt.

Is it safe to walk around the resort at night?

mostly yes, but stay on lit paths. You are in a national park, and hippos/elephants can technically breach the perimeter, though electric fences along the water deter them.

How far is Victoria Falls?

It's about 5.5 miles (9km) away. A taxi takes 15 minutes and costs roughly $15-20.

Are there monkeys?

Yes, and they are criminals. Keep your balcony door LOCKED at all times or they will raid your minibar.

Is the pool heated?

No, the outdoor pools are unheated. They are refreshing in summer (Oct-Mar) but chilly in winter (Jun-Aug).

Can I eat nearby without a taxi?

No. You are isolated. Your only walk-in options are the hotel's own restaurants.

Do they have a generator?

Yes, the hotel has full generator backup, which is critical given Zambia's frequent load-shedding power cuts.

Insider tippek

  • ✨

    The 'River Cruiser' boat belongs to the hotel—book the sunset dinner cruise directly with the concierge for a better rate than outside agencies.

  • ✨

    Ask for a 'box breakfast' if you have an early morning flight or safari; they pack a solid spread.

  • ✨

    The tap water is technically treated, but stick to the free bottled water to be safe.

5 dolog, amit tudnod kell az utazás előtt

  • 💡The 'Mini Golf' course is actually a fun, quirky way to kill an hour if you're 'templed out' from sightseeing.

  • 💡The electric fence along the river is discreet but very real—don't try to go down to the water's edge for a selfie with a croc.

  • 💡Room service prices are actually comparable to the restaurant, making it a decent hack for a private river-view dinner.

  • 💡The 'Bird Concert' at sunrise is intense—bring earplugs if you want to sleep past 6 AM.

  • 💡You can sometimes hear the rumble of Victoria Falls from the resort when the water is high (April/May).
