The hotel

Those tumbling waters of the Zambezi River over the Victoria Falls are so close you will hear the roar and see the cascades of billowing mist. This excellent hotel has the feel of a centuries-old walled city, reflecting the richness and diversity of lands heritage, with earth-coloured buildings featuring turrets and chimneys. Set out for a day of adventure with a helicopter trip over the mighty Victoria Falls or head to the nearby Entertainment Centre for quick and easy booking for adventure activities, sundowner cruises, game drives, bird watching and cycling safaris.

Loved watching zebras drinking from the pool! Strongly recommend helicopter over falls and sunset river safari, much more on offer for the more adventurous! Read less

Pros - nice property, 7-minute walk from room to Zambia side of falls, wildlife roaming through hotel, accessible from airport, Nespresso machine in room. Cons - dozen + mosquitoes in room when we checked in. Asked to fumigate room, there were still mosquitoes. Staff generally eager to help yet service in restaurants was lackadaisical, need to improve training asap! Management needs to step up as hotel is by no means a 4-star property, yet clearly has the potential to be. For example, there was no soap in neither men's or women's restrooms at the restaurant. Pointed this out to management, to no avail. Restaurant staff handling food were not even wearing gloves, handled food barehand (again, no soap in restroom so what does that say about overal food handling?). Food was well presented but bland. Worst of all, no cold water in room shower. Overall, a decent 3-star hotel, not worth the 5-star prices they charge, but not sure what other alternatives are in the area, yet alone walking distance to falls. We also visited their sister property, Royal Livingstone (beautiful), but left after a 20-minute wait for service. Read less

The Avani was a great place to stay. The grounds are incredibly with animals wandering the property, the staff is lovely and accommodating, the food was great, it was overall a really great experience.
