Victoria Falls location
The Anantara Stanley & Livingstone Victoria Falls Hotel will be in Zimbabwe and will complement The Royal Livingstone Victoria Falls Zambia Hotel by Anantara. This gives Minor a foothold on both sides of the Zambezi River.
The hotel is located in a picturesque conservation area just a 15-minute drive from Victoria Falls and will be an intimate 16-key all-suite property.
Each room can be configured as a double or twin, and two sets of suites are interconnected to create private two-bedroom accommodation.
The property will become the seventh Anantara property in Africa and its Indian Ocean islands when it joins the portfolio. It will be shortly followed by Anantara Kafue River Tented Camp in Zambia, which is scheduled to open in mid-2025.
Facilities include a gourmet restaurant serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner in the dining room, on the terrace, or in the gardens. There will also be a hotel lounge and bar, and a garden swimming pool with shaded loungers.
The hotel is family-friendly and offers guests a range of activities for all ages, both at the hotel and around Victoria Falls, A UNESCO World Heritage Site and Natural Wonder of the World.
