I had an amazing experience at this hotel. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment I arrived, always ready to help with anything I needed. The food was absolutely delicious, with plenty of variety and great quality. The entire place was spotless — from the rooms to the common areas, everything was exceptionally tidy and well maintained. It’s clear that the team puts a lot of care into keeping the hotel comfortable and inviting. Overall, I couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Highly recommended, and I look forward to returning!

A great smaller lodge, with wonderful staff.. the room was a good size and the bed comfortable. Breakfast was good. The staff are all very good, but a special mention to the manager, Kennedy who always goes that little bit further to ensure the stay was pleasant. The onlr small downside is the outside area, which seems a little dodgy, due to the road conditionss, however the lodge has no control of thet. Will definitely return

A group of 7 friends stayed here for 3 nights. The Lodge is very traditional and our 4 rooms were all beautifully decorated, very clean and spacious. The breakfast was included and was delicious, being cooked to order, even having options such as Eggs Benedict. We also ate here on 2 evenings and the food was fabulous and very reasonable. The staff can't do enough for you, always on hand to help, going that extra mile. Kennedy (manager) and his staff, Caroline, Destiny, Naomi were all fabulous. Our full day safari in Botswana was arranged by the Lodge and was very reasonable. We would highly recommend this lodge and only wish we had stayed longer but will hope to stay again in the future. Thank you again, we miss you all!

If you want a beautiful African experience with no bells and whistles, then Ngomo Lodge is a lovely place to visit. Nestled in lush, tropical gardens, the lodge has a typical African themed reception, which is like walking into a tasteful and cosy living room. Rooms at the lodge are very simple and may lack the small attention to detail that one may find in bigger hotels. That said, the bed was very comfortable, our room and the public areas were utterly spotless! Our room opened out into the pool area which is beautiful! Well tended, tropical gardens, surround the pool, it is lighted up at night which makes it look magical and it is quiet and restful during the day. The pool has many shaded areas where one can sit comfortably without being boiled by the strong African sun. The small restaurant overlooks the pool area and my husband and I ate there every day. Food is prepared fresh from scratch and everything that we ate was made with love and was delicious! The lodge has a small staff who gives one the sense that they are all a family who run the lodge with pride and love. I cannot emphasise the staffs' absolute humility, politeness and utter devotion to their guests. Zambians are the nicest people I have ever met. They have left a huge place in my heart and I can't wait to go back again.

Lovely lodge in quiet area

Pleasant lodge with about 10 rooms, located in a quiet area away from busy streets. Lobby and gardens have much interesting art. There is an on-site restaurant, serving mostly meat, but also a tasty vegan stir-fry with rice for $12USD. Some rooms look out over the pool. Outside bar area. It is located a 5 minute walk from the intercity bus station, but is too far to walk from the bridge at Victoria Falls - a taxi is about $10USD. Easy 15-minute walk to shopping area with ATM and bureau de change.

Fabulous stay. Staff are friendly and helpful. The chef Gilbert is the best. Reception staff Caroline and Ken helpful. Thanks to Destin, Naomi, and all kitchen and hosekeeping staff. All meals were delicious. Close to airport and the Mosi--oa-tunya falls. The livingston museum is a must see and gift shop has great prices. All in all, the people of livingston are warm and peaceful, which makes any vacation great.
