Great hotel near the falls with charming staff and comfortable rooms. The gardens abound with animals (zebra by the pool) and it’s just next to the falls entrance. They provide free shuttkes to the Royal Livingsone hotel so easy to go there for dinner.

Great location, pool, room facilities - comfortable bed, good shower and separate bath, mosquito nets, fridge. Clean. Friendly, professional staff, great bar and food service - relaxed - suit all ages. Resident zebras, impala and giraffes a bonus.

Amazing to wake up to find zebras outside your windows - very good hotel only downside the family room with 2 queen beds was on the small size. They forgot about the free bottle of wine until reminded. Apart from that all good.

Lovely property with direct access to national park. Food was very good but the high light was the staff especially Matilde at the front desk who was SO lovely & helpful.

Wow, what a fantastic place!

The welcome was amazing which my children loved and appreciated a lot. I am a Zambian who has lived and given birth to my children abroad. This was the first time I brought my children (24, 22 and 8 years old) to Zambia to fully embrace the culture and Avani gave us that. From the welcome to the night entertainment, and all the in-between surrounding activities were just phenomenal.
We could sit having a meal and the Zebras or impalas are also grazing just a few meters away from us without any fear as the animals mind their own business- this was a beautiful experience. All the staff were super friendly.
The planned activities were not too far away from the hotel too and transport was very easy to access- so another positive.
Overall- a very positive 4-day stay and the children have asked that we go back! 5**

It delivered way more than it promised, it was the most amazing hotel I have stayed in, the hospitality was unbeatable, we saw so many Zebra, giraffes, baboons and impala. The food was amazing, breakfast was amazing. We were on the Livingstone Natural park property and the walk to the falls was less than a 5 minute walk.

The propert is magical. To see giraffes, zebras, monkeys, and antelopes roaming free was worth the stay! The staff are very kind

I can’t wait to go back. My experience there was absolutely amazing. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The hotel is beautiful. The food was fantastic, one think I would recommend is getting more verity of drinks to make at the pool bar.
10.0
Without a question the best value for money if you are visiting the Victoria Falls area. The hotel is within the national park so you have free access to the falls which are a 5 minute walk from your room. In addition, there are zebras, giraffes, impalas and monkeys roaming free within the grounds which makes for an unforgettable experience. The staff is incredibly well trained and accommodate all of our needs, always with a smile and good attitude.

This was my 4th stay in last 10 years. Seems like management doesn’t care about guest experience. Will not be returning.

The property was nice and always kept cleaned and it’s just a few steps from the Victoria falls and gives you free access to enter which is awesome the staff there are amazing and always greeting you there are animals all over the property which was nice the food was good and the rooms were nice comfy bed and nice hot showers the only complaint I have was there wasn’t enough light outside at night at the hotel and was a bit scary walking and the WiFi was really bad other than that it was a great stay

10.0
Awesome place. Nice looking and organized lodge with a superb location a very short walk from Victoria Falls. Very nice and positive staff. A location somewhat out of this world when passing zebras, antelopes and baboons on your way to breakfast in the morning. And even a giraff on of the days we stayed there. Would go back tomorrow if I had the chance !!!!
5.0
The people were amazing. The hotel was very accommodating. I wished I would have had some choices for organic and healthy foods. Very few special diet foods.
5.0
This is a great experience for those travelling with very small children. Not only were there plenty of facilities and activities for them and the staff child friendly it's only a short walk to the Victoria Falls! perfect for the kids. Seeing wildlife from the comfort of our rooms and all the additional Livingstone adventures made this an unforgettable holiday.

We loved Avani at Victoria Falls! There yould not have been a better experience. We were worried that our stay would not be as good as it could have been due to covid-19, but we were very impressed. The staff were all wearing masks. They made us feel welcome from moment one and quickly responded to any concern we had. You CANNOT beat the location! It is a five minute walk to the falls. You can see the falls and then return to your room for a hot bath. There are zebra right next to you constantly. There are also monkeys and elk nearby. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back.

Great place right next to the falls and so many amazing animals just wondering around. It’s a living safari experience plus free access to the falls . Free shuttle to the more expensive sister resort too so you get to enjoy all the goods there too

For hotel of this size the restaurant for most nights was the pool bar which had a limited menu and was outside seating in the rainy season. Also some nights there was local drumming entertainment in the pool bar which was very load and went on far to long.

Amazing hotel right in the center of a national park with direct access to the falls. If you want to experience a little bit of Africa right outside your hotel room, you must stay here. Where on earth could you stay. In a 1st class hotel that has giraffe, zebras, monkey & springboks strolling around. 5 minutes walk from the complex & you are in the Zambia side of the falls. Your hotel stay includes admission to this side of the falls, as many times as you want to visit. The Zimbabwe side is about a 30 minute walk....not the greatest with lots of trucks & local people trying to sell something & yo.u have to transit boarder & passport check. The service at the hotel is 1st rate, everybody is so nice. Breakfast is god with lots of the usual choices, they also have a small section for glutton free. Dinner at the hotel was good also. You can book tours in the lobby & the staff is knowledgeable.

Proximity to falls and grounds were nice. Zebras on the property added to the ambiance. Food was okay but service was slow

Nice rooms, staff and facilities. But the big pluses are Zebras, Monkeys, Giraffe, Impala roaming freely, and proximity to Victoria Falls
4.0
Decent hotel in a great location. Property was fairly well kept. Some staff was very helpful and pleasant, some Not as much, it might just be the culture. Dinner and show at the Bowma was awesome, the dancers unbelievably fun. I would recommend this hotel but one on the Zimbabwe side may be a bit more convenient depending on the activities you are planning.

Avani is a lovely oasis with a casual luxury vibe. Can't get over how zebra, impala, giraffes, and other animals casually roam the grounds. Was amazing and the staff made sure the cohabitation was safe. It's nice you can visit the Livingston sister property to view the sunset from their viewing deck or dine for variety if you like. And there is a on demand shuttle between the two where you are likely to see animals on the way. Conveniently located near the Zimbabwe border so walking to the falls on the other side is feasible.

The best part is that the Avani is on the grounds of Victoria Falls. The hotel is decorated in African motif. Real animals, e.g., zebra, giraffe, monkeys, and baboon wander around the grounds. It is easy to get a very close-up photo.
