Super helpful staff, beautiful location, well kept grounds, excellent and comfortable rooms

Tania United States of America

So far the best place we have stayed at in Africa. The place with its own history, unique and very special. Unimaginable level of hospitality and greatest team ever!

Julia_1982 Russia

`breakfast was awesome. The location was excellent We especially enjoyed the location to the extent that my boys vowed never to go anywhere else in Livingstone the next time we are there for holiday

Mwape Zambia

the privacy of each suite and the food was prepared to perfection

Ethel Zambia

The location is absolutely superb, our villa was situated just over the bank of the Zambezi river and the views were stellar. The club staff were friendly, attentive, and very helpful with any request or question we had - from helping us arrange excursions to planning out the finer details - everything was taken care of and we had absolutely nothing to worry about besides enjoying our stay to the fullest. A special thank you to Charmaine, Peter, Mack, Nevers and the other lovely folks who made our stay at the River Club a total pleasure. The food was another great highlight of the stay as it was always delicious, the portions were great, and the setting was absolutely mesmerizing each and every time. All in all, this is definitely an amazing place to stay and we would highly recommend anyone considering it to go right ahead and book - you’ll love it here!

Larisa Canada

The view of the river is beautiful. The staff especially Jonathan and Chermaine and a guy who served us the first night are wonderful. The library..,to die for. The Zambian food is a must try. The room names could celebrate some African legends though.
