Location:
Stanley Safari lodge is
situated on the Zambian side of the Zambezi River, upstream from
Victoria Falls. It faces westward into the sunset and onto the
Zambezi National Park on the opposite side of the river. Stanley
Safari lodge is set among the lush riverine vegetation and the camp
has a distinct colonial flavor.
Guests here can enjoy the sights and sounds of Victoria Falls and
the Zambezi River in a peaceful and tranquil setting away from the
crowds. Stanley Safari Lodge is the exclusive oasis for the new
explorers of the Victoria Falls. With only 10 private cottages it is
able to give you an unmatched level of entirely personalised
service.
Bordering the Mosi-Oa-Tunya National Park, with a view over the
spray of the Victoria Falls in a distance,
the exclusive Stanley Safari Lodge will take you back to the Africa
of the 1920's |

Accommodation:
One can easily imagine Stanley or
Livingstone themselves just leaving the place… From every room at
Stanley Safari Lodge, you can see the distant views of the spray of
the Victoria Falls. Set on a hill overlooking unspoilt bush, only 3
km birdsview from the river and the Victoria Falls, Stanley is a
perfect base from which to explore the delights of the area – from
river rafting and bungee jumping to sunset cruises, elephant back
rides or walking with lions.
You can dine outdoors under the stars, in the privacy of your suite,
in the wine cellar or even in the infinity pool. The African style
and furnishings of the lodge reflect the textures and patterns of
Africa, and your hosts will do their best to make your stay a
memorable one. |

Quiet and intimate, Stanley Safari
Lodge will tailor your stay to suit you. The open-sided Main House
has been designed with space and views in mind. Enjoy sundowners in
the African style lounge, European-style cuisine with an African
twist in the dining room or spend some quiet time in the library or
upper deck discovering the secrets of Africa.
This half open house has a truly African feel, while the colonial
closed suites with private plunge pool evoke the elegant era of
Stanley and Livingstone. However, at Stanley Safari Lodge most rooms
are half open, which enables you to absorb the sights and sounds of
the African bush fully. |

The open-sided design affords a
unique view across the Mosi-Oa-Tunya National Park to the mighty
Zambezi River and the Victoria Falls, one of the Seven Natural
Wonders Of The World.
The main house provides the setting for our French style cuisine,
alternatively dine under the stars on the lawn or in the privacy of
your own cottage, whilst enjoying the personal service of our
Zambian staff, all with an in-depth knowledge of Livingstone and its
environs.
Spend your days enjoying the Victoria Falls area, or by the pool,
spotting elephants at the nearby watering hole. Evenings can be
spent sampling wine from our cellars or unwinding by the hearth,
with the matchless African skies providing an unforgettable
backdrop. |

Activities:
Dr Livingstone was the first
European to see the Victoria Falls in 1855. Known locally as
Mosi-Oa-Tunya or "the smoke that thunders" because of the spray made
by the mass of water dropping 100 meters below in the gorges.
Livingstone renamed the falls Victoria Falls in honour of Queen
Victoria. 50 Years later, missionaries and traders settled in the
small Zambian town of Livingstone and the railway bridge over the
Zambezi was built. The UNESCO proclaimed the Falls as a World
Heritage Site, due to its unique nature. Nowadays, the Victoria
Falls mark the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe.
The Victoria Falls and its surroundings offer a wide variety of
activities, of which we name a few:
Parks
around the Falls:
Around the Victoria Falls are some fine National Parks such as
Mosi-Oa-Tunya National Park (white rhino) and Chobe National Park
(Botswana) which can all be visited without checking out of Stanley
Safari Lodge.
An ideal way to visit the rhinoceros in the small Mosi-O-Tunya NP is
by doing a walking safari.
Chobe NP is home to the world's largest elephant population, which
represents a third of all African elephants and is ideal to visit
both by 4x4 vehicle as by boat. Besides game drives with comfortable
Land-Rover vehicles and experienced Bush Guides in the National
Parks close to the Victoria Falls, we also organise canoe safaris or
fishing trips on the Zambezi river. A lunch cruise or a sunset
cruise is a more relaxing way to enjoy the beauty of the mighty
Zambezi river.
Elephant ride:
Only very few places in the world offer you the possibility to ride
on the back of an African elephant.
This is an original way to discover the nature around the Victoria
Falls and offers a unique way to interact with the largest mammals
on earth.
African culture:
We are also eager to show you our neighbouring traditional village
which is over 700 years old and still ruled by its traditional
ruler, His Royal Highness Chief Mukuni, Monarch of the Victoria
Falls.
The Livingstone museum and the lively Maramba market is also worth a
visit.
Flight
of the Angels:
Scenes so lovely must be gazed upon by angels in their flight...
(David Livingstone, 1855). Experience the Victoria Falls from the
air with a Tigermoth or helicopter! It is also possible to play
Golf, at the colonial era Livingstone Royal Golf & Country Club.
Adrenaline Activities:
For the more adventurous, the gorges below the Victoria Falls offer
a wide range of possibilities. Just to name a few:
- The Zambezi offers some of the best Rafting in the world.
- Bungee jumping from the railway bridge has a unique setting just
besides the Falls
- Jet boating in the gorges is breathtaking
Other
National Parks:
Stanley Safari Lodge has excellent air & road connections and is an
excellent starting point for your Safari in Southern Africa (Zambia,
Botswana, Zimbabwe, Namibia). |
