Avani Victoria Falls Resort
Livingstone, Zambia
Positioned as close as you can get to Victoria Falls without getting wet, this 212-room resort offers the rare advantage of insider access to one of the world's seven natural wonders via a five-minute walk through the property. The location on the banks of the Zambezi River means zebras regularly graze the hotel lawns and giraffes amble past guest rooms - genuine wildlife encounters rather than staged safari experiences.
Adventure seekers will appreciate the direct access to Victoria Falls viewpoints, helicopter and microlight flights, and sunset river cruises where hippos and elephants are common sightings. The resort combines practical amenities like a 24/7 gym, obstacle trail, and kids' club with authentic African experiences including traditional boma dinners. At just 25 minutes from Harry Mwanga Nkumbula International Airport in Livingstone, Zambia, it's perfectly positioned for both the falls and broader exploration of Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park.
Rooms and suites
Avani Victoria Falls Resort features 212 rooms and suites designed for comfort and convenience in the African wilderness setting.
