Resembling the
Big Brother
household, this place can be a bit 'party central',
particularly when the Gen Y volunteer brigade is on holiday. You'll find them lounging by
the pool or in the sandy outdoor cabana, swinging in hammocks or tackling the rock-
climbing wall! There is also a hot tub, open-air kitchen and living room.

;
per person with full board
and activities from ZMW2,203; )
Intimate and indulgent, Stanley is a 10km drive
from the falls in a peaceful spot surrounded by mopane forest. Rooms are as plush as can
be expected at these prices; the standouts are the open-air suites where you can soak up
nature from your own private plunge pool. When you tire of that, curl up by the fire in the
open-air lounge. Rates are all-inclusive.

The newest addition to
Livingstone's luxury hotels: all rooms have river views, Rhodesian teak furniture, concer-
tina doors, four-poster beds and stand-alone bathtubs looking out to the water. It's set
within the national park, hippos honk around at night, and the decking and bar around the
riverfront infinity pool is a wonderful spot for a sundowner. It's located halfway between
Livingstone and the falls.
