Package price from, per person sharing

Being able to walk to Victoria Falls changes the rhythm of a stay in Livingstone, with the main attraction accessible without building each day around transfers.

Distance from Victoria Falls National Park

Victoria Falls is only about a five-minute walk from the resort via direct access through Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park. Current resort packages include free unlimited access to the Falls, allowing guests to return at different times of day without arranging a separate road transfer. The Zambian viewpoints include close-up perspectives of the Eastern Cataract and the Knife-Edge Bridge area. Few hotels place this major natural landmark so directly into the everyday rhythm of a stay.

Distance from Airport

Harry Mwanga Nkumbula International Airport (LVI) is the relevant arrival point for travellers flying into Livingstone from South Africa. Avani Victoria Falls Resort is around a 25-minute drive from the airport, with the journey completed entirely by road. No domestic flight, boat transfer or secondary connection is required after arrival. This keeps the logistics simple despite the resort’s position inside a national park beside one of Africa’s major natural attractions.

Rooms

The resort has 212 rooms and suites, with Garden View, Family and Superior Lagoon View rooms measuring 24 sqm. Family Rooms accommodate up to two adults and two children, while the 60 sqm Lagoon View and Pool View suites add separate living and dining space. Accommodation looks towards the gardens, pool or surrounding bush rather than relying on private villas or plunge pools. The overall room product is practical and contemporary, with family flexibility one of its clearest strengths.

Food & Drink

Dining extends beyond a single buffet restaurant, with The Theatre of Food covering breakfast and dinner, Shungu Pool Terrace serving light meals and drinks, and Mukuni Boma adding an African grill experience with cultural entertainment. A Zambian Village Dining Experience introduces local cuisine and traditions, while private dining overlooking Victoria Falls provides a more intimate option. In-room dining is also available. The range gives the resort useful variety without positioning it as a large fine-dining destination.

Experiences & Activities

Victoria Falls and the Zambezi shape most of the activity programme, with options including river cruises, helicopter and microlight flights, white-water rafting and other adventure experiences. The resort also promotes traditional village visits and Mukuni Boma evenings with music and dance, adding a cultural dimension beyond the natural attractions. AvaniKids provides supervised activities, crafts, games, nature walks and outdoor excursions for younger guests. Wildlife encounters within the resort grounds add another distinctive element to the stay.

SPA & Wellness

Spa treatments are available at the resort, with massage, beauty and health therapies designed primarily for relaxation after sightseeing and adventure activities. Couples can also book romantic spa experiences, including treatments incorporated into the resort’s current Romantic Escape package. A gym, running trail and obstacle trail provide more active alternatives for guests who want to maintain a fitness routine. The wellness offer is useful and varied, although it is not presented as a large destination-spa complex.
