The Victoria Falls Waterfront
A Riverside Escape
The ideal location to base your cost-effective Livingstone adventure. Located within the Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, three kilometres upstream from Victoria Falls on the banks of the upper Zambezi River and only 4.5 kilometres from Livingstone city centre. Victoria Falls Waterfront provides a range of affordable Livingstone accommodation options and is also the home of Safari Par Excellence, a renowned activity provider since 1998. This is where whitewater rafting, upper river raft float rides, speedboat adventures, river cruises, safaris, elephant interactions, visits to the Elephant Café, and cultural tours start and finish. Not forgetting unmissable guided tours of the mighty Victoria Falls. The on-site booking office team are on hand to assist you in arranging your personalised itinerary for your time in Livingstone, whether it be safari, culture, adventure or relaxation.
All guests can enjoy the use of two sparkling swimming pools, free Wi-Fi covering most of the property, a vibrant riverside bar with happy hour specials every Wednesday and Friday, a riverside restaurant with an unbeatable view of the Zambezi River and Livingstone’s favourite woodfired pizzas at Peppino’s. The deck, bar, and restaurant overlook the spray from Victoria Falls to your left during high water months (typically February to July) and offer the best sunset views over the Zambezi River to your right year-round. When the river is low (July to December), you will likely see elephants crossing over to and from Siloka Island, which is opposite The Victoria Falls Waterfront.
