David Livingstone
Safari Lodge & Spa
‘pure natural luxury’
ZAMBIA, the “real Africa”, is less than a two-hour
flight from South Africa, making it an ideal
destination of distinction for incentive and
conference groups.
The David Livingstone Safari Lodge & Spa, marketed
and managed by the Three Cities Group, is beautifully
positioned along the banks of the mighty Zambezi,
accommodating groups of up to 40 delegates,
presenting unmatched value-for-money in the heart
of Africa.
The Lodge is a mere 12 kilometre road transfer
from Livingstone International Airport and enjoys
the synonymous towering column of spray known
as “Mosi-oa-Tunya” (the smoke that thunders) of the
Victoria Falls as its picturesque backdrop. One of the
“Seven Wonders of the World”, the area is renowned
for walking safaris, adventure offerings and, above all,
an abundance of birds and wildlife.
Guests can enjoy not only this wealth of attraction
and activity, but can also indulge in an Afro-Arabian
fantasy, as upon entering the Lodge one is immediately
plunged into an era of exploration, adventure and oldworld
splendour. Its décor incorporates elements of
wood, earth, and raw stone, all accentuated by touches
of gold, bronze, copper and ivory, creating a sensual
allusion to the Orient.
Seventy-two river-facing rooms and five luxury suites
with private jacuzzi look out towards the Zambezi, and
guests are treated to views that can only be described
as glorious.
Rooms are spacious and comfortable, boasting
filtered light through the giant Jackalberries and
Mopani trees. Interiors follow a contemporary African
style with a neutral colour palate offering a delightfully
relaxing atmosphere.
Room facilities include satellite television, radio and
hairdryer, tea and coffee-making facilities replenished
daily, full laundry service and mini-bar, air-conditioning,
and private patios and balconies throughout.
Various dining options are available to delegates,
including the Kalai Restaurant, a buffet spread or a la
carte offering, in the dining area accommodating 120
covers. Gwembe Terrace is the ideal lunch venue choice
for those wanting to be outside under broad umbrellas
overlooking the Zambezi River. Light lunches are also
available around the infinite pool and guests have the
added advantage of enjoying an in-room dining menu
should they choose.
The David Livingstone Safari Lodge & Spa offers a
55 square metre air-conditioned conference room,
ideal for smaller corporate meetings, think tanks or
