Luxurious resort, the closest property to Victoria Falls
Comfortable lounges, restaurants, bars, swimming pool, salon, shops
Grand total of 212 contemporary rooms – standards, family rooms, and suites
Activity Desk for various safaris, daredevil thrills, local visits
Once guests have settled in and taken in the amazing views of the Falls, it is a good idea to head to the AVANI Activity Desk to find out about all the activities on offer here!
If the sight of wildlife such as zebra or giraffe in the Resort’s grounds has you set on safari, we recommend a trip to Chobe National Park for a classic game drive.
There is also the Mosi-Oa-Tunya National Wildlife Park, plus horseride and elephant-back safaris, as well as canoe trips and walking.
If adrenaline-fuelled extreme sports are more your thing, you will want to check out the Batoka Gorge swing and abseiling, white water rafting, quadbiking, and jet boating on the Zambezi River!
Travellers who favor a more peaceful pace can opt for river cruises and perhaps a fishing trip in this beautiful part of the world.
And those who like a little culture on vacation are well served by various tours of Livingstone town, including museums and the bustling market, and excursions to local villages to learn about the history of the Falls to the present day.
*This hotel is fenced, however being on the Zambezi River means that animals do still wander into the grounds. If you opt to stay here please be cautious and look out for potentially dangerous wildlife at all times and especially at night.
The Resort is situated on the Zambezi side of the Falls, just 25 minutes’ drive from Livingstone Airport. The Falls themselves are only 5 minutes’ walk away! Shops and attractions are 15 minutes by road and it is very easy to take a taxi into Livingstone Town.
AVANI occupies a roughly circular site, surrounded by trees and with the communal buildings at its center.
These in turn are positioned around the spacious swimming pool, which is flanked by sunloungers and plenty of parasols for shade. The general appearance of the central areas is very cheerful, full of bright colours and welcoming staff to help you feel at home! The Resort’s Pool Bar is next to the pool and the largest restaurant, The Theater of Food, is just a few steps away. Another two restaurants are found within the Falls Entertainment Center, a short walk from the central area. This Center contains shops too, in addition to the excellent Activity Desk. With numerous lounge areas, a lovely salon, and a rather charming Reception featuring wildlife artwork on its walls, the Resort really has everything you might need – and maybe even more!
This location is perfect for travellers who have just a short time to spend at the Falls, as you really are in the middle of the action here.
AVANI’s efficiently run Activity Desk ensures you make the most of your stay, while the other communal facilities and the guest accommodation, though not super-luxurious, are very pleasant indeed.
Guest accommodation at AVANI consists of 212 rooms, all very comfortable. There are three categories – Room, Family Room, and Suite. All options have individually controlled air conditioning!
