Where to stay in Livingstone runs from the five-star Royal Livingstone from $450 a night to POTUS Serviced Apartments from $80 — five partner properties, one concierge desk to book them all.
POTUS Rentals & Tours books accommodation as your agent, not a directory. We hold partner relationships with every property below, quote starting-from rates on a personalised proforma, and fold your transfers and activities into the same plan. Rates are negotiable, confirmed at booking and subject to availability on your dates.
Which is the grand address? Royal Livingstone by Anantara
The Royal Livingstone by Anantara is Livingstone’s five-star flagship, from $450 per night. Choose it for honeymoons, milestone anniversaries and VVIP movements — the address does a measurable share of the impressing for you.
Located on the banks of the mighty Zambezi River, a stone’s throw from the mighty Mosi-oa-Tunya falls, the seventh wonder of the world.
POTUS Rentals & Tours
Where do business travellers land? Radisson Blu Mosi-oa-Tunya
The five-star Radisson Blu Resort Mosi-oa-Tunya starts from $250 per night, sited where the Maramba River meets the Mosi-oa-Tunya road on the banks of the Zambezi. It is the practical-luxury pick: international brand consistency that executives, conferences and delegations plan around — the natural base for the corporate movements we run for organisations such as the IMF and GIZ.
Which resort suits families? Avani Victoria Falls Resort
The four-star Avani Victoria Falls Resort starts from $220 per night and anchors our four sample packages — each includes two nights here with return airport transfers, from $940 to $1,100 per person with headline activities built in. It is the sociable, easy-logistics choice for families and first-time visitors who want the week to organise itself.
Who is the lodge for? The David Livingstone Safari Lodge and Spa
The four-star David Livingstone Safari Lodge & Spa starts from $200 per night and trades big-hotel bustle for lodge-and-spa pace. Take it when the brief says unwind: couples, slow honeymoons, and anyone building proper rest days around the activity list.
What is the budget-smart base? POTUS Serviced Apartments
Our own POTUS Serviced Apartments start from $80 per night across roughly 15 residences. Self-catering space, longer-stay economics and the concierge desk a WhatsApp away make them the pick for project teams, families watching the budget, and anyone staying a week or more.
They pair naturally with a self-drive saloon from K400 per day — accommodation and vehicle on one proforma is the quiet superpower of booking both through the same desk.
How do you choose between the five?
Five questions our concierge asks before recommending:
- Who is travelling — a couple, a family, a delegation or a project team?
- What does the nightly budget need to cover, meals included or not?
- How long is the stay — two nights or two months?
- Which activities anchor the week, and where do they depart from?
- Do you need self-catering space or full hotel service?
Answer those and the shortlist usually writes itself — and where two properties tie, the proforma comparison settles it in figures rather than adjectives.
How does booking through POTUS help?
Booking your Livingstone accommodation through POTUS turns five separate transactions into one. As a contracted agent we hold preferential rates with the leading hotels and lodges, so the price is often better than booking direct — and your rooms, airport transfers, cruises and falls activities land on a single personalised quotation instead of a scattered set of confirmations. One concierge desk carries the whole trip, meets you at the airport, and is reachable on WhatsApp throughout your stay. We have arranged accommodation for delegations from the IMF, GIZ, Prospero Zambia and PPAZ, and the same care goes into a couple’s weekend or a family holiday. Whether you want the five-star riverside grandeur of the Royal Livingstone, the family ease of Avani, or the long-stay value of a serviced apartment, we match you to the right base and quote it the same day.
