WILD AND WONDERFUL

2026-11-01

Our stay at AVANI Victoria Falls Resort in Livingstone, Zambia, was nothing short of extraordinary. What began as a joint birthday getaway for two best friends became an unforgettable celebration filled with adventure, laughter, breathtaking scenery, remarkable wildlife encounters, and exceptional hospitality. A special spotlight belongs to Ritah, our phenomenal Guest Services Guru! Her warmth, kindness, professionalism, knowledge, and genuine intentionality made our experience truly remarkable. Ritah went above and beyond to help us identify meaningful activities, anticipate our needs, and ensure our birthday celebration was memorable. She doesn't simply provide guest services, she creates extraordinary experiences and lasting memories! Her thoughtfulness and commitment to excellence are invaluable assets to AVANI. One of our most treasured experiences was the five-course candlelit dinner at the Lunar Rainbow View overlooking Victoria Falls. The spectacular setting, delicious cuisine, and attentive service from Victoria, Godfrey, Alfredo, and Feslitus made for an exceptional evening celebrating life and friendship. Feslitus is an amazing chef with extraordinary skills. Her talents should be highlighted! Another unforgettable highlight was exploring the resort grounds with Gabriel and Patrick, who generously shared their knowledge and introduced us to the resident giraffes, Bob, Covid, and Junior! Encountering zebras, vervet monkeys, mongoose, monitor lizards, baby crocodiles, and impala added excitement, wonder, and countless smiles to our adventure. What an extraordinary experience to enjoy such magnificent wildlife right on the property. Our accommodations were comfortable and inviting, with thoughtful birthday decorations, small gifts, and personalized touches that made us feel genuinely celebrated. Special appreciation to Memory and Missole for their exceptional service, attention to detail, and dedication to ensuring our comfort. We also extend gratitude to Manager David, whose leadership contributes to the welcoming atmosphere and culture of the resort. What makes AVANI truly special is its distinctive character, natural beauty, and, most importantly, its people. To Ritah, Victoria, Godfrey, Alfredo, Feslitus, Gabriel, Patrick, Memory, Missole, David, welcome performers and the housekeeping team... THANK YOU for making our birthday celebration so incredibly meaningful! Exceptional hospitality isn't simply about what you provide; it's about how you make people feel and the memories you help create. We arrived as two best friends celebrating another year of life and departed with cherished memories, immense gratitude, and a deeper appreciation for the beautiful spirit of Zambia and its people. AVANI Victoria Falls Resort is truly a gem.

Increase the number of pressing irons to lessen the waiting time, if possible. Otherwise everthing else was top notch. I am looking forward to coming back

We had a wonderful stay! The hospitality and friendliness of the staff were exceptional, and the service throughout our stay was truly outstanding. The hotel grounds are beautiful, with a fantastic large swimming pool. The location is perfect for visiting Victoria Falls. It is an easy walk to the Zambian side of the falls, and visiting the Zimbabwean side is also very convenient, we walked there also - it is about 30min walk from the hotel. One of the most special things about the hotel is the wildlife roaming freely around the grounds. Seeing zebras and giraffes, as well as monkeys and impala, right at the hotel was an unforgettable experience! A very special thank you to Ritah for her outstanding service, kindness and all her help with arranging things during our stay. She really went above and beyond to make our experience extra special. We would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Victoria Falls. An excellent hotel with fantastic location and truly exceptional staff!
