Architecturally, the buildings take their cue from a classic Africa. The Royal Livingstone Hotel by Anantara, stretches luxuriously along the banks of the Zambezi River. A stone’s throw away from the mighty Victoria Falls, the Royal Livingstone overlooks the smooth waters just before it plunges over the legendary waterfall, creating a permanent water spray. The Hotel consists of a series of 17 buildings, with deep verandas, set amidst indigenous trees and plants. The main hotel is a sequence of thatch-roofed buildings, most African in their influence, and incorporates the lounge, The Old Drift restaurant and Travellers Bar. A gorgeous swimming pool visually links the river with hotel terraces, with the sweeping timber deck, of Kubu (serving drinks and light snacks) planted over the swirling water of the Zambezi, perfect for catching the most incredible sunsets. Experience one-of-a-kind Zambian Romantic Dining, as you dine on an elegantly decorated riverside deck or beneath a monkey tree overlooking the Zambezi River.

The reception area is framed by a classic courtyard, where you are warmly welcomed by Zambian song. Overhead, wooden fans cool the lounge space. The resort's deep, shaded verandas, offer an uninterrupted view of the Zambezi River and are the ideal place to curl up with a book discovered in the well-stocked library or sip a cocktail in the breeze while wild zebra graze on the lawn. The lounge is filled with original artwork depicting scenes of David Livingstone's great African adventures.
