Maramba River Lodge

1. Great Staff 2. Beautiful scenery 3. Good food The place has a great environment where the staff welcomes you and is quite helpful. There are a number of great things to see. The elephant view early in the morning is one of the best. The restaurant has some great picks and food is always served timely.

We stayed at the Lodge for 3 nights, with visiting family from Europe. We had selected a family chalet, which was ideal. Very neat, super clean, well appointed, and with a nice view onto the green garden. The restaurant was also great, lovely breakfast and dinner, very friendly service. And an absolutely brilliant sunset boat cruise on the Zambezi, under the careful and interesting guidance of our captain, Sector. Certainly the best place to stay, when in Livingstone!

The renovated rooms are big, comfortable beds with soft pillows. My daughter does not use a pillow but had to use one at Maramba. Breakfast was okay but served on order with limited food. On our first day for breakfast, baked beans was finished. Watched crocodile swim on the river banks and some birds flying. The Maramba water river was very dirt. The grounds need to be worked on and may consider paving the foot paths. Arrived when it was raining and stepped in mud at the Chalets. Another most disappointment was on the room booking, requested for a Family Room and only to be allocated a twin room with two double beds, that's their family room type. Was expecting two separate rooms, it meant paying extra if needed another room.
