    I had a wonderful stay at Kamunjila Lodge in Zambia—such a peaceful and welcoming place. The garden is lush and beautifully kept, creating a true little oasis. The room was spacious, clean, and full of charm. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful, making me feel right at home. I would absolutely come back and recommend it to anyone visiting Livingstone!

    Walk into town took a little longer than we had hoped but able to find viable if infrequent fresh and fast-food items at the locals shops. Air con is subject to power cuts but mostly on during the evenings/nighttime.

    Dinner options at the lodge were tasty.

    Kamunjila is not only a lodge to stay, it is an experience. Highly recommended, if 10 is maximum, this one is 10+. The premises are beautiful if you look for something authentic. Kamunjila staff is professional, welcoming, understandable, and always ready to help. The lodge is a great example of sustainability, proximity, and awareness. You need to go to understand. If you like to taste local meal, go for the fish from the Zambezi river, try nshima or taste mango picked up for you straight from the tree. Enjoy the garden and hear the stories about plants and animals from the local expert, great guide! Get impressed by the talented artist painting in the garden. My stay was wonderful. Thank you Kamunjila!!!!!

    We really enjoyed our stay in the Kamunjila Lodge. We used to swimming pool, had delicious breakfast and its not far from the center. I think it's a bit to expensive, but we had a good time and we would stay there again. The garden was absolutely beautiful, they had Mango trees and the room was also really spacious!

    Quiet location, welcoming and friendly staff, spacious and clean room with a big and comfortable bed, great food at the restaurant - it was the perfect base in Livingstone for some memorable activities. Walking distance from the Livingstone museum. They can organize activities and transfers, all went very smoothly. Good internet.

    I did find the bed a little hard - if you like a soft bed, you may also.

    Kamunjila offers a really pleasant welcome in lush surroundings. I especially enjoyed the proper coffee (after endless Nescafe in Africa) at breakfast and conversations with Francois, the French host, a fountain of knowledge about southern Africa and its magical wildlife. He helped arrange a very worthwhile bicycle tour of local villages and markets for a different perspective on Livingstone. The room was absolutely fine and, given frequent power outages, it was good that the WiFi worked even during blackouts.

    Friendly, simple, welcoming small lodge.

    Sheets & pillows! Everything else was good for a budget place, the staff were friendly and my room (no 6) was quite close to the dining area, so no worries about finding my way back after dinner - there's sufficient lighting.

    The welcome was friendly and my room was fine, with a fan for when the electricity for high power appliances (like aircon) were off (18 hours a day in Livingstone - the kitchen was not affected by this). The bed was quite comfortable, but the pillows were not (glad I always travel with a small one of my own!) - I understand this is a budget place, but they really were cheap. The sheets were quite elderly poly-cotton. However, there was a good mosquito net, the shower room and separate toilet were fine and very clean. The garden is delightfully shady, with a comfortable seating area as well as the dining area. Breakfast was simple, but with an option to have bacon & egg if you wanted. Limited choice at dinner, which is fine by me, and I had delicious salad one night and guacomole (outstanding) as starters the next. Small selection of beers and wine, but perfectly OK. It is within about 15 minutes of the main street and as a single woman I felt perfectly safe walking there & back during the day.

    Breakfast was not very varied and the meals a little toppy price wise. Pillows were foam filled that had gone into clumps and were quite uncomfortable please replace!

    Very nice room and helpful staff. Menu was varied and always a vegetarian option. Set within a tree enclosed area it felt very relaxing and laid back. Pool good for a plunge not a swim with nice loungers. Tea and coffee always available and the friendly staff will help if you need anything. Omelettes and eggs cooked if you wish at breakfast and fresh fruit in a bowl. Kitchen in view of the restaurant eating area and it feels nice. Load shedding in operation in Zambia but with solar it didn’t affect. You can walk to gift shops. Attentive owner and manager.

    Nothing to mention

    Room 1 was so beautiful (local touch, comfortable bed and good shower) It was the 40th birthday of my girlfriend. She was celebrated by the Lodge to the best with gifts and chocolate cake. The owner and the staff are really welcoming and supportive. They know all the activities in Zambia and beyond. They organize trips with professionalism with Off Road Safaris. Best quality for affordable price Authentic experience
