We really enjoyed staying in this lodge. The little chalet was cosy and staff very helpful. The bar is located right at the river and we enjoyed watching a hippo grazing in the water. Breakfast was great. The restaurant is located right at the Maramba River, too. It is spacious and gives good views of the wildlife as well.

The whole place is well maintained and very clean. Staff were very helpful and polite. The main dining room overlooks the Maramba river and has a huge outdoor balcony area. There weren’t too many mosquitoes and plenty of spray is on hand. Overall it is a lovely resort with quick access to the Falls.

The renovated rooms are a huge improvement. Very nice. The dining room is very dull, however, I heard it is soon to be renovated. Dining staff need a lot more training. One was attentive but others very slow. Bar staff were much better trained, friendly and attentive. Grounds staff spent a lot of time leaning on rakes and looking at phones. Phones should be handed in and used only on breaks. Then elephant poo may not sit blocking footpaths for 3 days. Fantastic playground for kids.

I only stayed one night and I have never stayed in any other place in Zambia so I cannot accurately compare this hotel to the standard of the country. However, this hotel advertised WiFi and there was zero WiFi in our chalet room. Also, there was no phone in our room. Additionally, the food and service were subpar. We got to the restaurant at around 6-6:15, and there are about 4-5 tables full of groups of 4 at each table. None of us had been asked for a drink until 30-40 minutes after we sat down. The service was inhospitable because they simply asked “are you ready to order” after finally arriving to our table. We also watched the staff for 30-40 minutes walk around and move tables and chairs. All 4 staff waiters were too consumed with moving 12 chairs and 5 tables for 30 minutes to adequately service the 20 people waiting to order water, drinks, or food. When the food finally came, it was subpar. The chicken Alfredo was from a can and unseasoned. The Thai chicken noodle salad was adequate but nothing special. The oriental chicken salad was served without dressing and then when the waiter brought dressing, they brought Italian dressing making me think about why they call it “oriental?” The reception staff was extremely standoffish. They were cordial but not welcoming nor warm like the service you might expect from a 3-5 star hotel. The grounds were beautiful. There were plenty of beware of animal signs but we never saw one animal during our one night stay.

Maramba was a stopover as part of my drive to South Africa. Although only here for one night, the accommodation was comfortable and the grounds were lovely. I saw a lot of birds, a crocodile and an elephant while sitting on the deck by the river. I had not expected that much wildlife. Katherine at check-in was helpful and amazing. She gets 5 stars. The wait staff at the restaurant was a little slow - I think they might have been understaffed. And the outdoor shower had not been swept when the staff came in for turn down service (which was an unexpected treat). I would come again!

Dårlig oplevelse

Opholdet var en skuffelse. Der var meget lang ventetid på frokost og aftensmad flere dage optil 1. time. Nogle dage kunne vi slet ikke få mad- selvom klokke kun var 19.00 I receptionen var der ikke styr på noget. Ankomst dage kunne vi først på værelserne kl. 14.30, og der var absolut ingen service

A beautiful, peaceful location along the Maramba River. Very clean, very professional, inside the elephant corridor—we got to see a family of elephants feeding right outside the fence! The restaurant food was absolutely delicious. We sat outside as the sunset each evening, where we saw hippos, crocodiles and monkeys, lulled by the soft accompaniment of frogs and wildlife sounds. My daughter and I stayed 3 nights in a luxury tent—very clean, comfortable beds draped with mosquito netting, and a warm water outdoor shower made it extra special.

Many parts of Zambia suffer from loadshedding. Not this establishment. They have a quiet genset that all the difference. This is my favourite hotel in Livingstone. Excellent value for money. Bonaventure and Kelvin at the bar are always do entertaining.
