    It is in the outskirts far from transport. There is no available masseuse. They outsource. If they can have their in-house therapist it will work to the advantage

    The property is beautiful with specious rooms and comfortable large beds which gives value for money. Cleanliness is top and beautiful garden The food were so delicious. Stuff and cleaners were friendly . Next time I go to livingstone I'll consider the facility

    -The mosquito nets are not good and need changing. They are too small for the beds and fall right on your face if you lie under them. -The AC doesn’t cool the rooms. -No cold water in the taps.

    The pool is lovely and clean. Staff were all super friendly and helpful.

    Food could be better, same as service. The wifi was a nightmare. If you want to do several activities around Victoria Falls and do not have your own means of transportation, would not recommend as it is located far apart from town and taxis can be expensive.

    The hotel looked new, with a clean decoration, very comfortable room and common spaces. The bed was very comfortable and everything was very clean. AC was not amazing. The pool is definitely the best spot.

    The menu could have incorporated more of the Zambian cuisine. It did have a few local items, but I found it heavily skewed towards a more Western diet. The lodge is nestled within the scenic outskirts of Livingstone, yet the menu did not convey this. It was a missed opportunity to tie in local dishes and allow guests to try things they might not have the chance to try elsewhere. The windows had a wire mesh installed to prevent pests from entering, which was useful, but prevented the windows from fully closing.

    Nkhosi Lodge stands out amongst the other accommodations in Livingstone. It is beautifully designed, incorporating elements of the natural environment around it. It sits slightly above the surrounding area and so you get a nice, natural panoramic view from the pool deck and dining area. The room was surprisingly spacious and well-designed. The staff was friendly and well-informed about activities in the area and the chef was accommodating about food requests. Excellent value for money. You will need transport, since it's about 20 minutes from the main road, which is itself 10-20 minutes from the city center. Special shout out to Chris, Jelina and Natasha for their excellent service. Nkhosi is a vision of what the Zambian lodge industry can be: thoughtful and well-designed while not exorbitantly priced.

    The place is out of town. But there are taxis on request and they came on time. The wifi signal was not strong enough in my room, had to go to reception on restaurant to get a better signal.

    Very friendly and helpful staff. Enjoy the traditional Christmas carols by locals. Peaceful environment, a great place to just unplug from city life. No TV, which was a plus for me.

    The wifi is not the best, but outside and in the restaurant it works well.

    The stay was incredible. The staff accomodated every of our wishes and treated us like royalty. The rooms were spacious and impeccably clean. The dining experience was exceptional, again making sure all dietary requirements were met. What really stood out was the personalized attention given to each guest, making us feel truly special. Overall, our stay was a remarkable blend of luxury, comfort, and outstanding service. Highly recommended for those seeking an unforgettable experience.

    No complaints ☺️

    A lovely tranquil stay located on the outskirts of Livingstone and only 10 minutes away from the Victoria Falls. Our room was clean and spacious with air conditioning, and a great place to relax if you’ve been out and about. The lodge facilitated booking for all our activities (game drive, mukuni village and devils pool) which certainly made my our lives easier - and they were able to arrange taxis and airport pick up/drop off. Make sure you have plenty of cash on you as you’ll need it for taxis and purchasing any souvenirs (it’s about a 20 minute drive to the city centre). Special shout out to Natasha, Chris and Biggie who made our stay a delightful experience. We would definitely visit again. P.s. if you have a clear night, take a moment to look up and gaze at the stars. Really quite breathtaking - especially if you’re from a city!

    The location was ideal for us because we rented a car but it would be far for anyone taking a taxi. It wasn't clear that breakfast was not included. We got charged upon checkout and were surprised.

    The rooms were huge and it was nice and new and quiet.
