Our stay at Avani was incredible. From the lovely song and dance welcome we received upon entrance to a smooth, carefree checkout. The layout of the hotel was amazing and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. It was only a short walk to the falls so the location could not have been better! The rooms were tidy and spacious and I can’t remember the last time my hotel bed was so comfy! The view from our balcony was breathtaking with zebras, giraffes and monkeys roaming around, what a treat to see! I would also like to give a special praise and thanks to chef Mohamed who sorted us out incredibly during our stay. As we require Halal food, we were able to take all of our own meats (at a corkage fee) and chef Mohamed prepared it for us very kindly. The service was excellent and we were all very pleased. Each afternoon and evening a table was prepared for the whole family and the staff would see to all our needs very carefully with care. Thank you to ALL the staff at Avani for being so accommodating, hospitable and welcoming, I would definitely recommend this hotel and would definitely return.

The resort has a great Location, the food is great with great variety and awesome food quality. and equally great Service

The tranquil surrounding of the hotel which is experienced just from the moment you arrive at the hotel lobby coupled with the scent of fresh jasmine and the gentle sound of a cascading natural green environment feature welcome you into a world of calm.

Beautiful hotel with amazing staff, the stay was very comfortable. Staff were very helpful when needed. Definitely go back again

Everything

Perfect for couples or families! The resort was beautiful and fun. We enjoyed the wildlife roaming the grounds. Very kind and friendly staff!

Many times that I have Visited Avani I've had the best experience of my life. The welcoming receptionist, the likes of Madam Purity. Welcoming you with smiles along side the Manager Madam Evelyn. Great food saved by wonderful waiters and waitresses led by Mr Perry. Me and my family always love the great reception we get each time we visit. The recent visit with the girls made them enjoy every bit. The swimming 🏊‍♀️ the food just awesome 👌. I highly recommend Avani to the world without doubt. It's a beautiful place and experience away from home. My honeymoon and all great experiences point to Avani. Great people great food beautiful place and the Zebras walking majestically makes the place even more exciting. Me and my family love Avani.

Proximity and room and grounds were lovely

What an absolutely terrible experience me and my husband had staying at the Avani property in Livingstone from 6th to 10th April 2026.

To begin with the room. We initially got a room which had a malfunctioning A/C that kept us up all night, the first night. After several complaints the maintenance guy finally comes to review the issue late morning the next day and says the A/C is icing and does some makeshift arrangement for it to work. When we come back at 2 PM we find the A/C is again not functioning - the room by now is extremely hot and we are sweating after spending an entire night and morning in sweltering heat. We are then told there is a power outage and everyone's A/C is off. We ask a few foreigners we met at the pool who said that wasnt the case in their room.

After much back and forth the front office finally moves us to another room. In this room the phone isn't functioning but the A/C was - we are told the phone will be fixed. That never happens for the entirety of our stay.

And to top it on our last night me and my husband have waited more than 90 mins at night to get drinking water - we have walked ourselves all the way to the Reception and begged for potable water because their staff took the bottles from our room and simply disappeared. And with a non functional phone we are compelled to walk all the way to the Reception to simply get water.

The staff keep saying Sorry but it has no meaning when guest comfort is the last thing on their mind.

Is this hospitality? What a shame. This is not a customer centric philosophy nor training.

I would neither stay her nor recommend this property to anyone in the future.

Utterly disappointed.

We had a wonderful stay at Avani Hotel in Livingstone. The checkin experience was excellent and special thanks to Gift who was incredibly welcoming. We were pleasantly surprised to be upgraded to a larger room, which made our stay even more comfortable.

The hotel grounds are remarkable. We saw two species of antelope, as well as monkeys, giraffes, zebras, and even a crocodile. The scenery is beautiful, and the proximity to wildlife made it a memorable experience not only for the children who were amazed at how close they could get to these animals.

After three days, we briefly moved to stay with family at a nearby nature lodge. However due to the presence of snakes, numerous frogs, and a large number of mosquitoes, we decided to return to Avani for a night. Despite the hotel being fully booked, Gift kindly availed a room for us. This gesture reflects a genuine commitment to guest care and we really appreciated this.

Although we didn’t use the kids club during our stay, due to our bus my wchedule, we did have a look at the timetable which offered lots of fun activities like water slide, biscuit making, folk stories etc.

In terms of areas for improvement: breakfast was of good quality, though the variety was somewhat limited. The hotel does offer halal options, which is commendable; however, not all staff appeared fully aware of what this entails. Given the number of guests who require halal food, this is an area where further staff training could enhance the experience.

Overall, these are relatively minor points and do not detract from what was one of the most enjoyable and memorable family holidays we have had. A solid 5/5

It is a place to be when visiting the Victoria Falls in Zambia. World class accommodation, food and environment that you will probably only experience once in your lifetime.

World class experience at Avani Livingstone.
Tuwan the resident chef made our stay even more amazing.

Great conditions! A bit issue with aircon… but everything was clean!

Very nice family friends environment with delicious halal food provided by chef tuwan, who was very accommodating to us. Will be coming again

We enjoyed our stay at Avani, loved the animals wondering around and the staff are so friendly, they do anything to make your staff enjoyable.
