(5-Star Standard)

Overview

As Victoria Falls’ premier 5-star boutique hotel, the Anantara Stanley & Livingstone offers an unparalleled blend of colonial elegance and intimate safari adventure. Set within its own 6,100-acre private game reserve, the hotel provides a serene retreat just 15 minutes from the thunder of the Falls, allowing guests to experience the best of both worlds. The property features 16 opulent suites, each exquisitely designed with canopied beds, Victorian slipper baths, and private terraces. Many of these look out over a bustling waterhole, where elephants, zebra, and antelope gather throughout the day. This isn't just a hotel with a view; it's a window into the African wild, enjoyed from the comfort of your lounge or the main restaurant terrace. With a world-class Anantara Spa, fine dining at the 1871 restaurant, and exclusive access to the reserve's black rhino sanctuary, the hotel is a destination in itself. It is perfect for discerning travelers, honeymooners, and families who seek sophisticated luxury without sacrificing an authentic wildlife experience.
