Zambezi Sun Hotel
The Zambezi Sun, located on the edge of the eastern cataract of the Victoria Falls, reflects the richness and diversity of the country’s heritage; capturing the very soul of Africa – unpretentious, fun and welcoming. With its warm, earthy architecture, inspired by an African walled village and simple finishes highlighted in bright mosaics and fabrics as well as intoxicating Zambian artworks and accessories, the Zambezi Sun is set to turn your stay into a memorable experience - not to everyone's taste, it nevertheless has a prime position and a private path to the Falls themselves and you can even hear the roar of the Falls from the hotel.
There's plenty to keep the family entertained, a selection of restaurants and room to spread yourself out on the lawn or the kids to run around - there's also a fun club for kids so parents can enjoy some down time or even half day excursion specifically geared towards the kids. All in a safe and secure environment.
There's shuttle services into Livingstone, a travel centre to help you book activities as well as a curio shop

Ideally located just 4km from the Victoria Falls, Maramba River Lodge provides a most attractive all-year-round base in a shaded woodland setting.
The Lodge is situated in the Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park on a bluff overlooking the Maramba River, and is often visited by the resident wildlife with elephant wandering through the grounds at certain times of the year.
There's four luxury safari tents that provide all the comforts of a lodge without sacrificing the pleasures of a camping experience. Each tent is individually decorated to a theme with our own handcrafted furniture. The ensuite bathroom is tiled throughout with a shower open to the African sky. Tents are available with twin beds, doubles and singles. Barbecue facilities.
Maramba's private chalets are spacious and airy and nestle under mopane and mahogany trees.

The chalets are available in twins, doubles and family units that sleep 4. Each chalet has barbecue facilities.
Because of the location, Maramba is often visited by the Park's resident wildlife. Enjoy the frog chorus and the other traditional sounds of the African night as you camp at Maramba. The safari tents under thatch offer an alternative choice, with each having two beds, electricity and barbecue facilities. There are 10 twin beds and 2 four bedded tented options available.
