Incredible, of course! I highly recommend getting to the falls before sunrise. It's early, but the crowds aren't there yet and the falls are amazing at sunrise. About an hour or hour and a half after sunrise head towards the farther falls to see the rainbows over the falls. Each view spot is numbered. For sunrise, views 6-8 are good. For the rainbows 9 and higher are good. Also keep your eyes open for the many different birds and animals including bush buck deer, monkeys, and warthogs. Around 10am the crowds start getting heavy. If you go in the end of the dry season (August-September) the falls are easy to see but not as full. If you go earlier the falls are full but will be hard to see because of the mist created by the falls. Even around September 1st we had places where it was misty enough to obscure the falls and it felt like it was raining on us. Which was welcome relief from the heat! That leads to one other interesting point about the falls. Unlike the surrounding dry landscape, right next to the falls is green and lush. Almost rainforest like. It's an incredible experience. Don't miss the "smoke that thunders" as the local language calls the falls. It cost us $50 per person to enter the park. You do not need a guide for this, just get a taxi ride to the falls, pay the entry fee and enjoy. There is a nice outdoor cafe inside the park entrance. If you're up for a little walk (or you can take a taxi) I recommend walking to the "Lookout Cafe - Wild Horizons" for lunch. You'll pass a number of vendors, perhaps some more warthogs, and a dusty road. I'd estimate it's about 1/3 of a mile walk, maybe 1/2 mile. But it's a nice way to top off a morning at the falls. Enjoy!

The falls are over 1.7 kilometers (5,604 ft) wide and 108 meters (355 ft) high, making them the largest water falls in the world. It is extremely picturesque and popular with tourists and locals. Best to go there early in the morning after 6am to avoid the heat of the day. You can also go in late afternoon. Entry fees are payable, waiting to enter can take 30 minutes even with advance booking. Best go with a guide. The route involves visiting 16 stations offering views from different angles and also the statue of Livingstone. The route is mostly level though there are stairs. Water sprays carried by winds can affect photography and make pathways damp. Walk carefully. There's additional activities such as bungee jumping and abseiling here.

What else can be said of this mesmerizing place. For reasons VFA is considered one of the 7 natural world wonders. Being there can not be described in words so you should just book the trip and visit!

Victoria Falls had less water due to summer season which made viewing better. We had less must. The helicopter ride over the falls provides excellent views.

What a beautiful place! Not very busy and lots of personal space to enjoy the fall. It was low season so the falls were not as active as other times of the year but it was great.

What’s not to love about Victoria Falls? Great walk to all the posts. Take lots of pictures!!! Enjoy!

God's majestic wonder. I don't understand why its no longer on the 7 wonders of the world list. Beautiful unexplainable wonder. Its breathtaking. The flora and fauna is like no other. Warthogs (Pumba) hang around like they own the place. The double rainbows 🌈, the roar of the water, the rain, the amazing views at every turn. There are about 20 view points, all amazing.

The cruise was nice. We went on the small Ra-Ikane boat and enjoyed not having to fight for the view like on the larger boats. The driver and bartender were both wonderful and knowledgeable. The snacks provided were delicious and the selection of drinks was adequate. We saw lots and lots of animals, especially elephants and hippos! It would have been a 5 star experience except that I absolutely hated the chairs. You're sunk down so low in the boat you can't see anything if you're seated. It was hard to get the whole view, look for animals, and stay connected with the rest of my group. I get that the chairs are trying to stay in the style of the boat, but they really took away from my experience.

What a experience, we saw hippos and some elephants but most beautiful of it all was the sunset!! This was relaxing, snaks and drinks where served. We went with the shearwater group and the staff was awsome. Definitely a must do when in Zimbabwe.

We went on the sunset cruise down the Zambezi. The scenic views were amazing. The cruise came with unlimited drinks including soda water beer wine and spirits. Service was good. There are two seating floors and you will find out your assigned deck upon entering the boat. The ticket also came with an appetizer which consisted of cold and soggy cheese sticks. After the appetizer we were served cold dry chicken on a stick and a mini chicken sandwich with lettuce and sause. For dessert we got a stale brownie. For the cost of the ticket ($54 pp) you can’t expect much out of the food department. However the company did take it upon themselves to serve food as such they should serve edible food. Seats were plastic yard chairs with a table. There were 4 chairs to each table. You best hope your shuttle gets there first and you don’t end up with an outside seat as others were not keen on moving to ensure each party had at least one person facing the water. The views were great and drinks were flowing as such overall average cruise.

An amazing experience. Room for only 10 or 12 with all you can drink basic spirits wines and beers with snacks. Comfortable personal boat with 2 extremely knowledgeable staff. They showed us some of the best views of the river banks they steered the boat as safe and close to the wildlife as possible. It was spectacular.

So good from the great Bus driver there (Leo) to the excellent layout of the boat, to the excellent staff and food, beyond expectations! All inclusive of spirits, great wine and after dinner drinks!! Saw dozens of hippos but no other animals. Thoroughly enjoyed it and highly recommend!

Oh wow this was the best part of our trip to Victoria Falls and the experience was awesome and really worth it. A cruise up the Mighty Zambezi is an absolute must if going to the Falls and so beautiful to boot. We were privileged to also do the dinner cruise which was delicious 😋. We saw hippo and elephant and were fortunate enough to watch a huge male swim across the River channel and get onto one of the islands. He gave us a regal sway of his head and tusks when he came out the water, which really was a sight to behold. Thank you to Daniel the captain and Goodwill our very friendly and helpful waitron.

Beautiful ride along the Zambizee river, large boat so not able to get too close to shore. Did not see a lot of wild life on our trip, but did see a few hippo and a few birds. However is still a pretty ride at sunset. Do plan on taking sunglasses/ hat as it gets hot. They do serve snacks and drinks on the boat, which were nice. There was a variety of items, though the food items were paced slowly throughout the boat ride. As it begins at dinner time, if you think you may want food quickly I suggest getting a snack before coming.

Beautiful small market. Very clean, friendly and helpfull staff. Some very interesting items on sale. Do have a look out for the Rastafarian vendor and his lovely interactive art pieces...and the stories that goes with the art. Very entertaining and worth to stand and watch for a while.

Great market that you can buy every everything and the best souvenirs from your travels. Many shops, great handmade stuff, beautiful things. Remember always ask about price in 2-3 places, because the same things can cost different money :)

Great gems 💎 of the town. It has different shops within selling Art 🎨, clothes... There are also spots for foods and drinks. It is worth a visit.

Nice place to walk with prices on steroids. The same souvenirs ( wooden animal figures) I bought in Cape Town 4 times cheaper

Great market that you can buy every everything and the best souvenirs from your travels. Many shops, great handmade stuff, beautiful things.

$$$ Overpriced. Nice shopping village with lot of nice things to consider however the high prices will make you think twice before you buy anything. There are no price tags and shop keepers will throw you a price based on what they think you could pay. I prefer the two markets on either side of this village which are more flexible in prices if you like bargaining. There is a small cafe inside for a quick drink or some refreshments.

Great spot for souvenir shopping and looking at local artist’s works!! Nice area of Victoria Falls!!!

Beautiful place and I really liked seeing the tigers and white lion although I expected more of the big 5 as that is the name but only animals we saw were lions,tigers and caracals. Would recommend

Lovely experience. Friendly staff and nice food. We did the lion walk and viewing. These caged cats are big and a marvel to see. Planning a return, hopefully this time to find the cubs are around - wanna try cub feeding!

A visit to Mukuni Big Five offers an unforgettable lion encounter. Guests can walk alongside these majestic animals in a safe, guided experience that promotes awareness and conservation. The lions, semi-habituated for human interaction, allow for respectful observation and close-up moments. Adding to the experience are the exceptional staff: Elinah at the reception warmly welcomes guests with genuine hospitality; Vanessa at the restaurant ensures every meal is served with care and a smile; and Grania, the knowledgeable guide, leads the lion walks with passion and expertise. Together, they make the visit both thrilling and deeply memorable for every guest.

It was AMAZING. The team know what they are doing and they make it a memorable experience. It is definitely value for money!!! Beautiful and unforgettable experience. Highly recommend!

The lion walk provided a remarkable experience.

Most amazing experience of my life , walking with Lions

Out of this world! Loved it so much went back again after 3 months. It's absolutely humbling and a complete adrenaline rush to be able to interact with the ultimate King of the jungle, no leash, free, in the wild. The lush greenery right behind the entrance is really breathtaking and serene, with a view of the Zambezi river that is unparalleled... I would go back again, and again. Really worth going at least once in a lifetime...

Small park, will take you max an hour if going slowly. I enjoyed it but it was a bit concerning that a fair amount of the reptiles had no heat source in their enclosures - snakes and baby crocs. Larger crocs seem well fed and happy, nice enclosures and they have friendly staff. No place to eat here, just a few snacks.

I generally dislike zoos or places with captive animals. However, Livingstone Crocodile Park also serves to protect the public (and the animal) by removing "man-killers" from the community. This one good step toward human/animal conflict. The guides are very knowledgeable of the area and of each individual croc. Great learning experience. Today's price: K100 for locals, $10 for foreigners.

We had a wonderful time with our tour guide Mbakala. He was knowledgeable and quite fearless, getting into the crocodile pen with one of the maneaters and showing us how they attack. The kids were terrified and entranced. Some sites list them as not being open on Wednesdays but now they are open every day.

Very cool place to visit that only takes about an hour. I recommend buying 2-3 chunks of meat for the keeper to feed the Crocs.

Ideal for family outings and educational tours.

The Reptiles in the park were kept really in a bad condition hence I am rating this 3 stars. They treated the chameleon very brutally and also the turtles were in bad condition. The crocodile was injured and the guide was playing around troubling the Black Mamba. I really regret visiting this place looking at the bad condition the reptiles were kept

I loved how natural the aesthetics and feel of the park were. We got quite a real experience there as we got quite close to the crocodiles in their habitat. The guide was great too, very informed, friendly, and gave us an awesome tour. It was also quite affordable to visit, with not much of a difference between local, resident and tourist fees.

Had the Crocodile Crumble and Ostrich filet. Enjoyed them both having never eaten any of them. The croc was crab cake like and the ostrich is like a steak. They pair them beautifully with other accompaniments and it tastes wonderful. Be adventurous and enjoy the food. The service can be relaxed and the piano player was fantastic. So just enjoy your time and the atmosphere.

We stopped by The Cassia restaurant without a reservation and were seated right away, which was a nice surprise. The atmosphere had the feel of an old American style estate, with a quiet and slightly formal vibe. While the setting was pleasant, the food was just passable, nothing especially memorable. Still, it was an enjoyable visit and worth checking out if you are in the area.

One of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had. The food was absolutely amazing every dish full of flavour and beautifully presented. Tatenda was an outstanding waiter, full of energy and warmth, and really made us feel welcome. Miles is an incredibly talented musician, and his live performance, including our song requests, made the evening truly special. I honestly couldn’t fault this place. Highly recommended!

The staff is excellent. The food didn't disappoint, highly recommend the ostrich steak, tempura hake, and the cheesecake with coconut ice cream! I also had the sous vide chicken which was pleasant, but the risotto it sat atop was amazing.

Great food and lovely service. You have the option to sit on the terrace you will be able to hear the waterfall. You get to choose from a nice variety of African animals for dinner, and there is a large selection available to choose from for breakfast.

Wow amazing this fine restaurant was much more than we expected. Every detail was over the top. After dinner we had the best time just chilling with the piano player. Who "played every song Bobby knew".

Great food, great service, lovely ambiance! Thoroughly enjoyed my meal, the food was well presented and beautifully prepared! Absolutely scrumptious!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Avani Resort in Livingstone during a work conference, and the experience exceeded my expectations in every way. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed by a warm and professional team that made check-in smooth and pleasant. The natural surroundings are simply stunning — waking up to the sights and sounds of wildlife and lush greenery was both refreshing and inspiring. The resort's close proximity to Victoria Falls, one of the world’s natural wonders, made the experience even more memorable. Being able to walk over and enjoy the falls during downtime was a truly unique benefit. The conferencing facilities were top-notch: well-organized, comfortable, and fully equipped with everything we needed for a successful event. In between sessions, we were treated to a fantastic selection of meals — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The dining experience alone is worth a mention! The blend of professionalism, comfort, and natural beauty makes Avani Resort a perfect choice for business travelers, vacationers, or anyone looking for a unique stay in Livingstone. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there and would gladly return. Highly recommended!

We had an amazing family holiday for our dad’s 80th birthday at Avani. The resort is perfectly located for walking an easy 2-3 minutes to take in the breathtaking Victoria Falls. There are wildlife wandering freely around the resort including the resident giraffes. Our room was comfortable and spacious and cleaned daily. The breakfast buffet was enjoyable and had a wide variety to choose from. Above all else, the staff are absolutely amazing, attentive & so friendly! We had the pleasure of having so many beautiful people look after us. Special mention to Memory who made each meal a truly special time! We met Chef Teddy who made our dad’s birthday memorable with his delicious food and personal attention! We hope to be back to Avani again! Thank you!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The staff were very accomodating and able to help us with our transport, activities, laundry, money changing - whatever we needed. Breakfast is a fabulous hot and cold buffet which we looked forward to every morning! The dinner/lunch menu could be more extensive - but perhaps this is because we stayed 7 nights and did have a few meals at the resort. The room was average size, and we were lucky enough to stay on the first level, which meant we had a balcony. We were also at the back of the resort overlooking the grounds, which meant giraffes were literally off our balcony - rather than the inner rooms which overlook the pool are and are a lot less private. Access to the falls is literally at the back of the resort, so excellent location.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Excellent experience! The service was outstanding — everything was handled professionally, quickly, and with genuine care. The staff were friendly and helpful from start to finish. Highly recommended to anyone looking for quality and reliability!

"I recently stayed at Avani Victoria Falls Resort and was thoroughly impressed. The staff were friendly and attentive, the room was luxurious and clean, and the amenities were top-notch. "I highly recommend Avani Victoria Falls Resort to anyone looking for a luxurious and memorable stay. I'll definitely be back!"

Avani is excellent facility with state of the art equipment and nicely located. I will never forget memories for this wonderful resort. I would encourage most of you to sample the cosy atmosphere at this resort more especially with your families.

The staff is very friendly but the service is way too slow. We waited about 30/40min to get a soup and a chicken kebab served. The room had a strong smell of painting and was full of mosquitoes despite the window and doors being closed all the time. We spend about an hour before bed chasing them which is not ideal. The positive point of this stay was to see Zebras and Giraffes wandering around the garden, that was truly incredible but I wouldn’t stay there again. It’s way too expensive for what it is. If you’re a new traveller you would probably be amazed by everything but if you’re an experiences traveller you shouldn’t set high expectations. The Livingstone Royal Hotel next to the Zambezi river is a lovely place but again, service way too slow and $150 USD dollar for two stew full of bones and almost no meat, there’s something to work on there.

Beautiful location, friendly staff, but facilities in process of a very necessary refresh. Liked · The dinners at the main restaurant upstairs were poor. The breakfast was EXCELLENT, and the Bar Restaurant for snacks, lunch and dinner down by the river was very good. Disliked · The property is under a much needed refresh and upgrade. I am sure it will be stunning again when the upgrades are completed, but it did result in some construction noise during the day from morning to afternoon, so not much serenity on the mighty Zambezi.

This is a really nice hotel located just a short drive/shuttle bus ride away from the Victoria Falls in Livingstone, Zambia. We had a great welcome with hot towels, drinks and music. Our room was excellent with partial views over the Zambezi river, and has all the facilities you would expect from a 5 star hotel. Lunch on the deck overlooking the river was excellent, followed by a sunset river cruise including food and drinks. Breakfast is buffet style and offers an excellent choice. We then visited the falls and returned to the hotel for dinner, again in the restaurant overlooking the river. There is an infinity pool which also overlooks the river. An excellent hotel that I can highly recommend 👍

Awesome place. Hotel just on the banks of the Zambezi river. Great Boat cruise offered. Great food. Beautiful scenery.

Went here for lunch after the falls as a walk in the service was good however 3 of our 7 orders came completely wrong with over half the meal missing and dietary requirements ignored. After asking for compensation for the missing food we were told that compensation or any form was not possible. When the bill came there was confusion over the price due to two payments on card and one in cash and we ended up overpaying for a meal that could only be considered unprofessional. Overall if you are coming here take caution over what you order and look over the bill with a keen eye.

So following recommendations from friends and family I chose to stay the David Livingstone Safari Lodge & Spa during my last trip to Livingstone. For a three night stay, I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Getting there isn't too complicated. It is about 10–15 minutes from Livingstone town. You simply drive along the road toward Victoria Falls, then branch off before the falls into Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park. The lodge is well sign-posted, and the short drive is scenic, giving you a taste of the calm and beauty that the Zambezi River offers. Depending on the time of day you may see some wildlife as you approach the entrance. The setting is stunning. The lodge sits right on the banks of the Zambezi, with wide open views of the river and the national park around it. It feels peaceful and private, yet it’s close enough to both town and Victoria Falls to make exploring very easy. The service here really stood out. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help. My room was spacious, clean, and comfortable, with all the amenities I needed. Wi-Fi was available throughout my stay, which was very convenient. I also enjoyed a visit to the spa, which was perfect for relaxing after a day of activities. Meals were another highlight—whether dining indoors or outside by the river, the food was well-prepared and fresh. I understand that the lodge is named after the explorer Dr. David Livingstone, who first saw Victoria Falls in 1855. While he named them after Queen Victoria, the local name Mosi-oa-Tunya—“The Smoke That Thunders”—is still the most fitting description of the falls’ incredible power and beauty. I had a wonderful stay at there. The great service, beautiful riverside location, comfortable rooms, and relaxing spa made it a perfect choice for my trip. I would highly recommend this lodge to anyone visiting Livingstone (especially first timers) —and I will definitely come again.

The place is nice and located along the great Zambezi River. The rooms are neat and the food is delicious 😋. One can also organise for game viewing and boat cruise.

Their menu is misleading. Got a chilli and herb Bream, the food isn't enough for a new born baby. I asked the waiter for food that was filling and this is what came. Add measurements of food that is being order so we understand. This really is not it

Apparently this is one of the top rated restaurant in Vic Fall. Food is nice, we had lamb shank, steak, chicken, sunset, water hole with croc resting, resident elephant at night and they also have 2 live camera on youtube on the water hole 24/7.. great hospitality, acapella singing over your dinner table, vulture feeding everyday at 1pm.. humourous and knowledgeable waiter..

Great place to eat, sit at the bar , watch the sunset and the animals at the waterhole. Staff are amazing and helpful.

I spent the the day at the restaurant overlooking a waterhole where elephants and other game would visit. Breathtaking views!! Loved the vulture feeding conservation activity that they do there as well!

The Pizza was just so lovely. The scenery so refreshing. The Chef, Clayton if I remember correctly passed by to greet us. And sell the new menu to us.. definitely coming back here

Eating with a view on the waterhole. Sunset is an absolute must. Good fod selection and wine. Start with a coctail at Buffalo bar!

I visited this restaurant for the breakfast buffet. While the selection is limited, you can order egg dishes to be served at your table. I was drawn by the amazing view, which truly made the experience worthwhile. If you're looking for a delicious breakfast, this might not be the place, but the view is definitely worth it.

Great, Great restaurant. We did appreciate our food. The service was at the top. Caring and attentive. The view over the national Park where you can spot animals. We had the chance to meet a family of elephants 🐘 ❤️
