Zambezi Dusk River Facing-All Inclusive-Luxury Accommodation

From the moment we were warmly welcomed to this stunning luxury safari lodge by the happy and well trained staff we knew this adventure was going to be something very special. Nestled on the banks of the mighty Zambezi River and adjacent to a sand island that is home to a large herd of hippos the location is unique. The chalets are beautifully decorated and extremely comfortable. The dining experience was next level. The quality, variety and portion sizes of all meals was superb. Thank you chef! We were spoiled for choice with a wide array of activities including multiple boat safaris, a day trip to Victoria Falls, fishing expeditions and so much more. Our sincere thanks to Jonathon and his wonderful staff for making our stay so enjoyable; and of course to Shelley and John for all your planning, coordination and expertise in ensuring that all of our activities and experiences were so amazing. Thank you Rod and Troy

This was the most fantastic place to start our trip through Zambia and Botswana. The lodge is beautifully situated on the banks of the mighty Zambezi river and wildlife abounds (including the wonderfully noisy hippos!). Jonathan was an excellent manager looking after the guests very attentively with his excellent team. Patrick looked after us for tiger fish fishing and daily safaris on the river, always finding something for us to see to compliment the wonderful sunrises and sunsets across the river. Food and lodging were top class. Loved it!

From the moment | arrived, the warm and loving welcome from Pynety & Lawrence melted away the stress of travel within a second. The view of the Zambezi River is pure magic - vast, golden, endlessly captivating. You could gaze at it forever and still not have your fill. And just when you believe it couldn't possibly get better, you step into your room... and wonder gives way to awe. Every detail of the interior is crafted with such harmony and grace, it feels like stepping into a painted dream. Nowhere have I slept so deeply, so peacefully, as in that incredibly comfortable bed on these soft pillows (please, I need the manufacturer’s name of mattress :). A heartfelt thank you for the exquisite vegan cuisine - each dish a work of art, worthy of the finest tables. Even on the sunset cruise delicious vegan snacks were served. Thank you, Patrick, for the unforgettable boat ride - for the laughter, the gin and tonics, and the breathtaking encounters with the wild. And to Jonathan, the wonderfully kind and charming lodge manager - thank you for making this place feel like home (I wish I wouldn't have to leave). Zambezi Dusk is more than a destination. It is a dream realized, a symphony of serenity by the river's edge. | leave a piece of my heart here - and wish I could have stayed just a little longer.

We had an amazing time at Zambezi Dusk. The Lodge is right on the Zambezi and is breathtakingly beauty, the tents overlook the river where the sunrise and sunset painted the sky in the most incredible colours. Waking up and going to bed to the sounds of the water and wildlife is truly something special. The food was outstanding and served in the most breathtaking spots. Whether it was a sunrise breakfast or a fireside Boma dinner under the stars, each experience felt special. The sunset cruise and fishing expeditions is something I can highly recommend. The staff were warm, friendly, and so professional, treating us with genuine kindness that made us feel at home. We’ll treasure the memories and cannot wait to return one day.

Absolutely fantastic lodge! The location on the banks of the Zambezi River is breathtaking. Our tented suite was luxurious and comfortable, with amazing views of the river and wildlife. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome throughout our stay. Meals were delicious with a variety of local dishes. We enjoyed the sunset cruise and safari, and loved hearing hippos while relaxing on the deck. This is a magical place to unwind and connect with nature; we highly recommend Zambezi Dusk to anyone visiting Livingstone!
