The Victoria Falls Waterfront

Overview

The Victoria Falls Waterfront is Livingstone's legendary adventure hub, perfectly positioned on the banks of the Zambezi River inside Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park. It masterfully bridges the gap between a well-equipped campsite for overlanders and a comfortable mid-range lodge, creating a vibrant, social atmosphere that's unmatched on the Zambian side. The heart of the property is its famous wooden deck and open-air bar, which extends over the river, offering one of the best sunset views in the region. It's a place to gather, share stories, and watch hippos in the water below. With a range of accommodation from en-suite riverside chalets and garden rooms to permanent dome tents and a sprawling campsite, it caters to every type of traveller seeking value without sacrificing location. Operated by Safari Par Excellence, the pioneers of Zambian adventure, this isn't just a place to stay—it's a launchpad. Rafting trips, sunset cruises, and river safaris depart directly from its jetty, making it the most convenient and energetic base for exploring everything Victoria Falls has to offer.
