Overall it is a lovely resort with quick access to the Falls. ##### Dale Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tolani Sep 11, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The fact that animals are on the grounds is cool. We saw a hippo on our second night there, it was scary but awesome. ##### Tolani Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul Jun 8, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Fantastic.

Some bugs were in the room and my kids were afraid of them. ##### Ratnam ### 10/10 Excellent #### Barbara Dec 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Maramba was a stopover as part of my drive to South Africa. Although only here for one night, the accommodation was comfortable and the grounds were lovely. I saw a lot of birds, a crocodile and an elephant while sitting on the deck by the river. I had not expected that much wildlife. Katherine at check-in was helpful and amazing. She gets 5 stars. The wait staff at the restaurant was a little slow - I think they might have been understaffed. And the outdoor shower had not been swept when the staff came in for turn down service (which was an unexpected treat). I would come again! ##### Barbara Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Joyce Jul 20, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities The renovated rooms are a huge improvement. Very nice. The dining room is very dull, however, I heard it is soon to be renovated. Dining staff need a lot more training. One was attentive but others very slow. Bar staff were much better trained, friendly and attentive. Grounds staff spent a lot of time leaning on rakes and looking at phones. Phones should be handed in and used only on breaks. Then elephant poo may not sit blocking footpaths for 3 days. Fantastic playground for kids. ##### Joyce Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Myles May 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Staff & service I only stayed one night and I have never stayed in any other place in Zambia so I cannot accurately compare this hotel to the standard of the country. However, this hotel advertised WiFi and there was zero WiFi in our chalet room. Also, there was no phone in our room. Additionally, the food and service were subpar. We got to the restaurant at around 6-6:15, and there are about 4-5 tables full of groups of 4 at each table. None of us had been asked for a drink until 30-40 minutes after we sat down. The service was inhospitable because they simply asked “are you ready to order” after finally arriving to our table. We also watched the staff for 30-40 minutes walk around and move tables and chairs. All 4 staff waiters were too consumed with moving 12 chairs and 5 tables for 30 minutes to adequately service the 20 people waiting to order water, drinks, or food. When the food finally came, it was subpar. The chicken Alfredo was from a can and unseasoned. The Thai chicken noodle salad was adequate but nothing special. The oriental chicken salad was served without dressing and then when the waiter brought dressing, they brought Italian dressing making me think about why they call it “oriental?” The reception staff was extremely standoffish. They were cordial but not welcoming nor warm like the service you might expect from a 3-5 star hotel. The grounds were beautiful. There were plenty of beware of animal signs but we never saw one animal during our one night stay. ##### Myles Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert Aug 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Een van de betere lodges in Afrika. Zeer behulpzaam personeel. Goede bedden. Heerlijke ruime luxe tent. Goed eten, goed ontbijt. Veel wildlife heel dichtbij.

Der var meget lang ventetid på frokost og aftensmad flere dage optil 1\. time. Nogle dage kunne vi slet ikke få mad- selvom klokke kun var 19.00 I receptionen var der ikke styr på noget. Ankomst dage kunne vi først på værelserne kl. 14.30, og der var absolut ingen service ##### Judy Stayed 1 night in Apr 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Oct 25, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Nice and cosy lodge. Family friendly with a wonderful big playground which my children enjoyed a lot. Good food and good service. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jun 21, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A beautiful, peaceful location along the Maramba River. Very clean, very professional, inside the elephant corridor—we got to see a family of elephants feeding right outside the fence! The restaurant food was absolutely delicious. We sat outside as the sunset each evening, where we saw hippos, crocodiles and monkeys, lulled by the soft accompaniment of frogs and wildlife sounds. My daughter and I stayed 3 nights in a luxury tent—very clean, comfortable beds draped with mosquito netting, and a warm water outdoor shower made it extra special. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Andrew Feb 6, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Many parts of Zambia suffer from loadshedding. Not this establishment. They have a quiet genset that all the difference. This is my favourite hotel in Livingstone. Excellent value for money. Bonaventure and Kelvin at the bar are always do entertaining. ##### Andrew Stayed 1 night in Jan 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jan 2, 2020 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Everything was great! Staff and our tents were great and fun. Don’t expect a 4 star resort if you do that’s your fault not theirs. The only negative is it seems they have some food safety concerns at the restaurant. They reuse their yogurt after it’s been sitting out till 10am the used the same bowl for 3 days. Also with power outages they don’t have proper refrigeration. Only eat cooked food at the restaurant! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2019 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hyatt Place Atlanta Centennial Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Atlanta-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Atlanta-Centennial-Park.h38357574.Hotel-Information) > > [Nílu Cancun Zona Hotelera by Selina](https://www.expedia.ca/Cancun-Hotels-Selina-Cancun-Laguna-Hotel-Zone.h27406592.Hotel-Information) > > [ Haveli Dharampura & Golden Haveli- UNESCO awarded Boutique Heritage Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Delhi-Hotels-Haveli-Dharampura.h15233833.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Abbotsford Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Abbotsford-Centre-Hotels.0-l6305103-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hacienda Tres Rios Resort, Spa & Nature Park-All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Del-Carmen-Hotels-Hacienda-Tres-Rios-Resort-Spa-Nature-Park-All-Inclusive.h1897464.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with a Lazy River in Varadero](https://www.expedia.ca/Varadero-Hotels-Hotels-With-A-Lazy-River.0-0-d3735-tHotelswithaLazyRiver.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Ottawa](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels.d178296.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotel Agorà](https://www.expedia.ca/Rome-Hotels-Hotel-Agora.h16718576.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Long Island City](https://www.expedia.ca/Long-Island-City-Hotels.d127357.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hôtels Gouverneur Montréal - Île Charron](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal-Hotels-Hotels-Gouverneur-Montreal-Ile-Charron.h40669.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Orlando](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Orlando.h9574.Hotel-Information) > > [Treadwell Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Andrews-Hotels-Treadwell-Inn.h35714392.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Palace](https://www.expedia.ca/Rome-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Palace.h663050.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandman Hotel Grande Prairie](https://www.expedia.ca/Grande-Prairie-Hotels-Sandman-Hotel-Grande-Prairie.h118779.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Fort Lauderdale (FLL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/fll/toronto-to-fort-lauderdale) > > [Flights from Lahore (LHE) to Karachi (KHI)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/lhe/khi/lahore-to-karachi) > > [Air Transat Toronto (YYZ) to Paisley (GLA) flights](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flight-routes/air-transat-from-pearson-intl-to-glasgow-intl/ts/yyz/gla) > > [JetBlue Airways](https://www.expedia.ca/JetBlue-Airways-Flights.cB6.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Los Angeles (LAX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/lax/calgary-to-los-angeles) > > [Flights from Ottawa](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/178296/flights-from-ottawa) > > [Flights from Sao Paulo (GRU) to Buenos Aires (EZE)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/gru/eze/sao-paulo-to-buenos-aires) > > [Flights from Jeddah (JED) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/jed/yyz/jeddah-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Wabush (YWK)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/ywk/calgary-to-wabush) ### Activities ### Packages > [Honolulu Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Honolulu.d1488.Destination-Travel-Guides) ### General
