The location is a bit remote and the hotel discontinued its complimentary shuttle into Livingstone during the pandemic, so going anywhere involved a 20-30 USD taxi ride. Also, most activities that the hotel arranges (airport shuttle, game drives, tours, etc.) have a two-person minimum, which was less convenient for me as a solo traveler.

Overall, this was a lovely hotel and I would stay there again. The location on the river was beautiful, the staff was friendly and helpful, and the food in the restaurants was excellent.

few wear and tears which reflects the price of a 5 star hotel situated on the Zambezi river and so close to Victoria falls.

Fantastic 4 night stay at the Aha David Livingstone safari lodge & spa, we were upgraded to a suite from a standard room. The Staff are all amazing, they went above beyond expectations, “Jacqueline”was super throughout our stay, all staff tended to our every need, always friendly and smiling, would recommend small tips as they are much appreciated, after covid losses. we also booked a sunset cruise which was fabulous, we saw hippos and lots of other wildlife! breakfast and evening food was as delicious.

Alas there was a termite explosion of flying insects. Our balcony light was left on in error so we had thousands of visitors. Some made it under the door, but the staff and monkeys did a great clean up job. On the monkeys, they are very cheeky. A catapult waved in their direction will dissuade them however.

Good food and service. Made a real effort to feed us arriving late from border. Close to all activities, but remember - Livingstone is an African town.

The food was expensive and wasn't the best. We walked across the bridge to waterfront for food which was better in value and selection for vegans. Same for the drinks, but its to be expected in a fancier hotel. One thing they must change is the provision of drinking water. There should be a water filter tank where guests can refill their bottles to reduce plastic waste. The sprinklers were on far too much considering it had been raining.

The room was lovely with a great river view. It was ready early so we could enjoy it the whole day. The staff were friendly, particularly the head chef who ensured we were catered for as vegans. The pool was nice and there was a small gym overlooking the river, which we used. The grounds overall were pretty and we loved the Sunset cruise. It might seem pricey but drinks were unlimited and we had some nice canapes.

The service in the bar/restaurant area lets the place down. Everything we ordered from food to drinks and even asking for the bill was a struggle. The staff were lovely but just disappeared off for ages every time we asked for something. It was rather frustrating.

The location was fantastic. It was close to various attractions and activities. In addition, the scenery was breathtaking. We were sad to leave.

Unfortunately, the hotel has still not recovered from Covid. There were few guests staying there when we arrived. The activity center was not operating; I had to walk to another hotel to find and book activities. The lunch (and dinner) was not good at all - the worst food we ate on our 2-week trip. However, the breakfast buffet was surprisingly good. The hotel is a bit isolated. You cannot walk around much on the property. You have to get to the hotel by taxi - 15-20 minutes from either the airport or from the Zimbabwe border - and it takes 15-20 minutes for a taxi to arrive at the hotel to take you anywhere.

The rooms are amazing: good amount of space, luxurious bathroom, nice bed, and a wonderful scenic view of the river through glass doors or from the balcony. Throughout the day, you can see vervet monkeys playing by the river or even just outside the rooms. The staff is very friendly, and it's a good spot to relax.

Victoria Falls area has high touristic prices, and food, activities and transfers within this hotel follow the same standards as expected.

A beautiful wooden building just by the riverside, with wonderful views. Kind attention and smiles from the staff the whole time. Delicious food as well. The clean swimming pool will help you deal with the heat!

Infested with mosquitoes, at sundown you have to run... (there are some small ponds, where they breed, so may suggest they create a flow, or some other solution)

Great setting, beautiful lobby, friendly staff, nice room, comfortable bed, good food, reasonable price (apparently booking.com has good discounts)

Our conference was at another venue which meant we spent all day elsewhere and couldn’t take advantage of the facility or the boat rides.

Breakfast was more than adequate. And the location with a river view is spectacular! Necessary mosquito net and repellants were readily available.
