Location & Wildlife

Avani Victoria Falls Resort sits inside Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, 5 minutes walk from the Victoria Falls entrance.

The Shungu Pool Terrace serves lunch and dinner with African cuisine and a poolside bar, though dinner options can be limited. For a cultural evening, the boma dining experience includes traditional Zambian entertainers and local dishes.

Family & Kids

The hotel has a kids' club with activities such as a water slide, biscuit making, and folk stories, though it is chargeable. An indoor play area and kids' outdoor play equipment are available, and the staff can arrange babysitting services. The spacious grounds and free-roaming wildlife keep children engaged, while the Livingstone Adventures tour desk helps families book game drives or rhino walks.

Wellness & Spa

The on-site spa offers full body massages, foot baths, and wellness packages set in a natural environment with a spa lounge and relaxation area. Guests can use the outdoor swimming pool with sun loungers, pool bar, and shallow end, or join yoga classes and personal training sessions. The fitness centre has a mix of cardio and weights equipment, and bicycle rental is available for exploring the park.

Activities & Excursions

Scenic sunset cruises on the Zambezi River depart from the sister property, Royal Livingstone, and are bookable through the hotel.
