The Victoria Falls are a hive of activity, with new lodgings recently opening on each side of the border.
On the Zimbabwe side of the Falls, a new luxury adults-only (no children under 16) lodge, Shongwe Oasis Boutique Lodge & Spa, is now welcoming guests. The lodge’s 19 guestrooms comprise 13 double deluxe rooms with bath and shower; three honeymoon suites with outdoor and indoor baths, showers, and a private garden; and three triple rooms, all with bath and a shower. Facilities include an outdoor infinity pool with in-pool loungers and Jacuzzi, beauty spa, and a restaurant and bar. Shongwe Oasis partnered with Mvula Spa to create an on-site spa focused on high-end boutique treatments.
On the Zambia side, the Radisson Hotel Group has opened the doors to its new Radisson Blu Mosi-oa-Tunya Livingstone Resort, Zambia. Nestled on the banks of the Zambezi River, the resort is the group’s first safari resort in Africa and first resort in Zambia. Radisson Blu Mosi-oa-Tunya Livingstone Resort is located near the Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, a little more than a mile south of the city of Livingstone and two-and-a-half miles northwest of the Victoria Falls. The hotel features 200 rooms, luxurious suites and villas with unparalleled views of the Zambezi River.
