The Bushfront is a small intimate property on the edge of Mosi-oa-Tunya National park and close to the Zambezi River, which is owned and operated by Safari Par Excellence. Located on the Zambian side of the Victoria Falls, the Bushfront is open all year round. It is conveniently close to the falls, the Zambezi River, Livingstone Town and the Mosi-oaTunya National Park. The lodge is very family friendly with some rooms designed especially for families with extra beds in them. The dining and bar area is also right next to the pool, allowing parents to keep an eye on the little ones while relaxing in the shade. The lodge has a restaurant that offers breakfast, great pub-lunch type meals and dinner. There is also a separate DSTV lounge and bar area. The grounds are surrounded by dense African woodland with abundant (and very active) birdlife. Another big plus is the sound of elephants trumpeting and hippos grunting that can be heard from the lodge. This is truly Africa. The Bushfront is situated just off the main road between Livingstone Town and the falls and easily accessible by car. The lodge offers ‘meet and greet’ transfers from the airport and borders (Zimbabwe and Botswana).
The David Livingstone Safari Lodge & Spa is an exclusive lodge offering top-class facilities near to the thunder of the falling water and towering columns of spray of the Victoria Falls. The lodge consists of 77 rooms, all en-suite, of which five are signature suites and two rooms accommodate the disabled. All rooms overlook the Zambezi where a leisurely sundowner can be enjoyed on private balconies. Each room features satellite TV, radio and hairdryer, 24-hour room service, wake-up calls and a laundry service, minibar and coffee/tea-making facilities, telephone, internet and air conditioning provided as standard features. The lodge offers visitors a restaurant, bar and conference facilities, suitable for medium sized groups. This premier lodge also offers a variety of safari excursions and activities in and around the Falls. The Lady Livingstone, a 144-seater river cruiser on the Zambezi River comprising three decks, enables guests to experience authentic Africa in a unique style.
