Victoria Falls is located in the Big Five Private Game Reserve, and plans to reopen on April 1, making it the perfect time for guests to see Victoria Falls when it’s at its most impressive. This gorgeous property features 16 luxury suites with a private spa and gym.

However, it is The Stanley & Livingstone Boutique Hotel’s spectacular landscaped gardens and views of the waterhole that grab visitors’ attention, making it the star of the show.

Guests will be able to enjoy views of plains with passing game over a meal or sip on drinks on the terrace of 1871 at Stanley & Livingstone, which is set to become one of the area’s finest dining experiences.

And if you’re in the mood for something warm and cozy to drink, afternoon tea on the terrace is equally as enjoyable. The special twist here is the lemon-in-gin cocktails and sparkling wine paired with teas, cakes, and savouries.

The reopening of the hotel promises a fresh, yet “quintessentially historic” look following an extensive refurbishment to the tune of $6 million (R89.8 million).

Stanley & Livingstone’s revamp delivers on its reputation as a Condé Nast award-winning luxury property. By the looks of it, they’re sticking to that standard. With all the hallmarks, guests’ expectation of a MORE Family Collection stay, has been approved.
