"Excellent hotel, especially the zebras!"
The Zambezi Sun is beautifully appointed but not in an intimidating way which made it ideal for our party (2 adult women plus 12 year old girl). Our room was a little cramped with 3 beds in it but as we weren't in it much it didn't really matter. We made a lot of use of the pool, which is excellent, and only ate in the hotel. Food was good quality and plentiful.
The hotel felt safe enough to allow Kirsty (the 12 year old) to wander around the main hotel complex without us being worried for her safety, and all the staff were great with her (especially when she discovered how to charge things to the room!!)
We went on a sunset cruise of the Zambezi (arranged by the hotel) which we loved and would highly recommend." See all these reviews: 5n in Botswana; 2n in Zambia
"Our preferred Livingstone accommodation!"
"Zambezi Sun review"
Food generous and plentiful and really enjoyed tha peaceful atmosphere, esp the "nauture trail" where we were enthralled by the weaver birds buuilding their nests. Went on a "River Safari" a bit pricey - $80 each_ b ut a great time. We were offerd a free afternnon tea at Royal Livingstone for our 40th Wedding Anniversary.
As elsewhere in Africa we were treated with cheerful kindness everywhere." See all these reviews: 8n in Botswana; 2n in Zambia

The swimming pool was unheated and surprisingly cold in August. Despite 28C air temperatures , very few if any were willing to brave the pool." See all these reviews: 9n in Zambia
"Zambezi Sun review"
The rooms were clean. We choose this hotel as it was very near the falls. The food didnt worry us as we were their only two nights. But we didn't enjoy the food in the Falls room. The next night we went to the hotel restaurant which was a treat as we were finishing our holiday the next day as we thought it rather expensive. (with a captive market as we were quite away from the town).
However all the staff were very polite and efficient." See all these reviews: 4n in Botswana; 2n in Zambia
