Fawlty Towers Guest House

10/10 Excellent
"Behind the unassuming security door was a beautifully landscaped and quiet oasis, much bigger and more comfortable than I anticipated and just across the street from a major grocery store and a few simple restaurants. Saying that; the wood-fired pizza at the hotel restaurant was superior in every regard. The pool was big, the staff was helpful, and the beer was cold."

"This is a great hotel. Our river view room was spectacular. The staff were friendly. The overall surroundings are brilliant, well maintained, and we saw elephants having lunch in the neighbouring national park from a few feet away (through an electric fence!). It's well located to get into Livingstone and you really can't beat staying right on the banks of the Zambezi. The pool is nice, if slightly smaller than expected, and not heated. The service was sometimes slow. Food was good, not exceptional. But overall, a very positive experience and I'd stay here again if we return to Livingstone."

When is the best time to go to Livingstone?
The best time to visit Livingstone is during the dry season, which runs from May to October.During these months, the weather is generally sunny and pleasant, with lower humidity and cooler temperatures, making it ideal for outdoor activities. The dry conditions also mean that the water levels of the Zambezi River are lower, providing clearer views of Victoria Falls and making activities like white-water rafting more exhilarating. Wildlife viewing in nearby national parks is also excellent as animals congregate around fewer water sources.For those who want to see Victoria Falls at its most powerful, visiting between February and May, after the rainy season, is ideal. The sheer volume of water cascading over the falls is breathtaking, though the spray can sometimes obscure the views. However, this period can be quite hot and humid.
Where can I find the best nightlife in Livingstone?
Livingstone's nightlife is generally relaxed, centring around a few key areas that offer different experiences.Most of the evening activity happens along the main road, Mosi-oa-Tunya Road, which runs through the town.

These places are usually quite casual, offering a chance to mingle with locals and enjoy a drink.For options with a more tourist-focused feel, many of the lodges and hotels located outside the town centre, particularly those closer to the Victoria Falls area, have their own bars and restaurants. These establishments often cater to guests with curated cocktail menus and sometimes offer live entertainment, such as traditional music or dance performances, especially during peak season. You'll find these along roads leading to the falls, like the Nakatindi Road.Additionally, a few standalone bars and pubs are scattered throughout the town, often in the vicinity of the market or main shopping areas.
