    The swimming pool would benefit to be repainted.

    We really liked our stay at the lodge. It looks lovely, was clean, confortable and the food was good. What made it even more better is its people. Everyone is smiley and kind. Special word to Caroline and Kennedy who were always helpful and nice. We appreciated the possibility to organise activities through the lodge.

    Nothing!

    We have just returned from a fabulous stay at Ngoma Zanga Lodge, Caroline and Kennedy are both so friendly and welcoming, they went above and beyond to ensure that we had a comfortable stay and were always willing to help in any way they could to make our holiday perfect. The property is really well maintained and kept clean, the decor in the rooms, reception area and dining room/bar is lovely and authentic and the pool area is beautiful. Load-shedding is a new issue in Zambia however the staff had managed to adapt and minimise the issues that it caused and a generator was installed by the owner a few days before we left. We wouldn't hesitate to return and highly recommend Ngoma Zanga Lodge!

    Water had a smell/taste to it, but possibly not the lodge's fault...

    Very comfortable lodge, nice outside area with small pool, good breakfast and restaurant, friendly staff. Even with rolling load shedding imposed by the government, the lodge managed to maintain hot water, lights, a/c, and wifi for 90% of the time which was great compared to other places.

    This lodge exceeded our expectations. From the moment I booked it to the end of our stay. Amazing! I had a few minor changes I needed to make and Caroline was more than happy to sort them for us. We had good communication all throughout... We loved the outside and reception area deco... My partner and I had booked the tribal room and it was gorgeous (both traditional and modern). The room was comfortable with Aircon available.. overlooking the pool. Breakfast was lovely and the restaurant meals were amazing (especially the burgers and the nshima). All the staff were friendly and helpful. Such amazing value for money!!! I would 110% recommend.

    That we stayed there too short.

    Very friendly welcome by Caroline and Kenny. After a short introduction we were guided to our room which was a nice comfy room, but as soon as we wanted to unpack, we heard a knock on the door and our hosts offered us a free upgrade to a bigger room that was more the luxe. Also they arranged a great safari for us into Botswana. We can highly recommend the hotel, plus eat the local nshima at their restaurant! ✨️

    WiFi could be improved but likely due to limitations of the location. No mosquito nets initially (which were needed) but this was rectified after raising it to reception.

    Lovely pool and garden area, Nice breakfast Kennedy and all the staff were very helpful and made our stay very comfortable.

    Wi-Fi a bit slow at times but we had enough to do to be worried about that.

    Everything was amazing. Staff ever so helpful, anything from tours, advice on where to go. Ken & Caroline were great making our stay amazing. The kitchen staff made sure we were fed everytime, we never left to eat out because the food was amazing. Charity & Gilbert in the kitchen and everyone made sure we had a good time. The place is secure with security personnel during the night. The swimming pool is clean and a bar near by was handy. I can not recommend this property any highly. If you are in Livingstone book yourself at the Lodge. It’s a bit of a distance from the falls but transport is easily arranged for you. Carole , Ken & the staff at the Lodge. Thank you for making our stay amazing. Hope to see you guys soon.

    The only thing I would recommend to improve is the quality of the WiFi, but it was not an issue since we weren't there all day, but I would recommend improving The WiFi quality and speed.

    The staff was extremely helpful with everything. The location was excellent and the managers Caroline and Kennedy went completely above and beyond to ensure we had a great stay. Would definitely recommend and visit again.
