Avani Victoria Falls Resort

Avani Victoria Falls Resort

Introduction

The Avani Victoria Falls Resort is a charming sister hotel to the Royal Livingstone Hotel, situated just a few hundred metres upstream of the stunning Victoria Falls.

This lovely 3-star hotel, part of the Minor Hotel Group (formerly Sun International), is only a short, pleasant walk from the Royal Livingstone in The Falls Resort.

It’s also conveniently located right next to the beautiful Zambezi River, although the hotel offers only limited river views.

Nestled on Mosi oa Tunya Road on the Zambian side, the hotel is approximately 500 meters from the breathtaking Victoria Falls.

Guests can enjoy a shuttle service to and from the falls, and there's also the option of golf carts to make travel between the hotel and the Royal even more convenient in Livingstone.

Guests can enjoy 212 comfortable en-suite rooms at Avani Victoria Falls Resort.

Each room features a private balcony, and since their 2016 refurbishment, they beautifully blend African charm with a touch of Mediterranean flair.

The suites burst with vibrant, bright colours, while the standard rooms offer a lighter, more soothing palette.

The bathrooms are charming too, beautifully combining native patterns with northern-inspired designs to create a welcoming and stylish atmosphere.

The grounds are truly spacious and offer everything guests might need, starting with the friendly reception at the entrance, which handles guest services, a charming gift and curio shop, and a lovely florist.

There's also a large swimming pool, banking facilities with Barclays Bank, a clinic, and Kamp Kwena Children’s Club with helpful babysitting services.

Guests staying at Avani are warmly invited to enjoy the wonderful facilities at the Royal Livingstone, such as the gym and hair salon.

Just like at the Royal Livingstone Hotel, you can find peaceful gazebos where you can indulge in relaxing massages and treatments.

Additionally, The Falls Resort has a small herd of zebra, impala, and giraffe, so you’re likely to spot these beautiful animals while exploring the grounds.

You'll find a variety of dining options to enjoy at the hotel.

Room service is available for all guests, making it easy to relax in your room.

Little Squires is a cosy steakhouse near the activities centre, perfect for a satisfying meal.

The Theatre of Food, the buffet restaurant near the pool area, offers a wide selection of delicious dishes.

On the other side of the pool, you'll find the Pool Grill and Bar, great for casual bites and drinks.

At the edge of the resort, there's the Kingfisher Braai/BBQ area, a lovely barbecue spot available for special functions upon request.

The charming Boma, nestled along the path between the Avani and Royal Livingstone Hotels, is a traditional African restaurant that offers lively entertainment, a fireplace, and grilling options—please note it's open for dinner only.

If you're looking for a more private dining experience, the hotel's suites include a cosy dining area perfect for intimate meals.

Here's what the Travel Agency considers.

Guests really appreciate how close the Avani Resort is to the breathtaking waterfall.

Its fantastic location near Victoria Falls means visitors can enjoy the stunning views as often as they wish, without worrying about the National Parks entrance fees, making their experience even more memorable.

The Avani Victoria Falls Resort warmly welcomes families and offers a wide range of facilities to suit all kinds of guests.

Although it might be a bit pricier for 3-star accommodations, the convenience, excellent facilities, and attentive service truly make it worth considering for a wonderful stay.
