Stanley & Livingstone Boutique Hotel, Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe
You'll enjoy a wonderful day either in the morning or evening on a game drive. This beautiful gem of a national park is little known, despite its proximity to the world-famous Victoria Falls.
Split off from the Victoria Falls National Park in 1979, the 56,000 hectares of pristine wilderness and wildlife habitat has been a National Park in its own right ever since.
The park is bisected by a tar road that runs between Victoria Falls and the Kazangula border post. The park is home to a variety of larger mammal species including lions, elephants, buffalo, giraffes, zebras, and several antelope species such as elands, kudus, waterbucks, impalas, and Zimbabwe’s national animal, the majestic sable.

Just half an hour’s drive from the River Club is the mighty Victoria Falls. Known by the locals as ‘Mosi–oa-Tunya’ (meaning ‘the smoke that thunders’). The spray and the sound of the Falls can be seen and heard from many miles away.
