Chrismar Hotel Livingstone is a Zambian-owned, four-star hotel of 59 rooms on Sichango Road, bordering Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park about five minutes by car from Victoria Falls.
A Zambian hotel by the park
Chrismar is the Livingstone flagship of Chrismar Hotels, one of Zambia’s own hospitality groups, with a sister property in Lusaka. The setting does the talking: the grounds run against the Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park boundary, so the falls, the river and the game park are all minutes from your door — 5.8 km from the airport on arrival day.

Why book it through POTUS?
POTUS holds a signed agency agreement with Chrismar, and its position suits our activity set perfectly — the game drive and rhino walk operates in the park next door, and the gorge activities are minutes away. Rates season sharply, so we quote personally: request a rate and the desk answers the same day with a proforma quotation, payable by transfer, mobile money or POS. The group’s own page is at chrismarhotel.com.
When should you go?
Chrismar’s park-side position rewards both seasons. In flood months (February–May) the falls five minutes away run at full 108-metre thunder; in the dry window the neighbouring park’s game drives and rhino walks (from K800) and the gorge adventures come into their own. The jacuzzi baths, it must be said, argue for the spray-soaked months.
Eat, swim, repeat
Days here settle into an easy loop: breakfast at the brasserie, a falls or park excursion with a POTUS chauffeur, then the pool — order at the swim-up bar and stay in the water until the heat breaks. The gym, sauna and massage rooms cover the recovery end of an adrenaline itinerary; after a gorge swing morning, the massage room is not a luxury, it is aftercare.
Zambian ownership shows in the kitchen and the welcome — warm hospitality run to four-star standards, and a favourite of regional business travellers who want Lusaka and Livingstone on one group account.
The Chrismar story
Chrismar Hotels is that increasingly confident thing: a Zambian hospitality group competing head-on with the international flags. The Lusaka house on Los Angeles Boulevard serves the capital’s business trade; the Livingstone flagship answers with leisure — the swim-up bar, the jacuzzi baths, the park boundary at the garden wall. For POTUS, the group’s Zambian ownership is part of the recommendation: money spent here circulates in Zambian payrolls and Zambian suppliers, and the service culture carries the warmth that visitors remember longest.
Tour series and church groups favour Chrismar for exactly that welcome, and the events lawn handles ceremonies and conference dinners against the park treeline. If your itinerary runs Lusaka–Livingstone, we consolidate both Chrismar stays on one file with one settlement — the kind of small administrative mercy that repeat travellers notice.
Adrenaline itineraries base well here because the geography co-operates: the gorge lips with their ziplines and swings are minutes away, the bridge activities a short run down the falls road, and the rafting put-ins reachable before the heat builds. Book the activity set with the room — gorge zipline from K700, swing from K950, bungee $194 — and your POTUS driver shuttles the whole sequence while the jacuzzi waits. Recovery days slot in naturally too: the sauna and massage rooms take same-day bookings, and the brasserie keeps late kitchen hours for gorge crews returning hungry after sunset.
Good to know before you book
The hotel’s Sichango Road position is quiet by design — town is a short drive rather than a walk, which suits guests with a POTUS chauffeur on call or a self-drive saloon from K400 per day. Rooms nearest the pool carry gentle evening bar hum; the garden wings sleep silently. Say which you prefer and we note it on the reservation.
Quotations hold in USD or Kwacha, starting-from until confirmed, and the standard cancellation ladder (25% from 60–45 days out, rising to 100% inside 14 days) is restated on every proforma. Group files across Chrismar Lusaka and Livingstone consolidate on one invoice — useful for tour series and corporate rotations. Payment terms mirror the rest of the POTUS book: proforma first, settlement by bank transfer, mobile money or POS, and a receipt trail your accounts office will actually enjoy filing.
