The David Livingstone Safari Lodge & Spa unveils its new chapter…
There’s a quiet transformation unfolding on the banks of the Zambezi. Long celebrated for its riverside charm and warm hospitality, The David Livingstone Safari Lodge & Spa is entering a new era, blending the best of traditional African design with a fresh, contemporary feel.
With major upgrades to all guest rooms & suites, Restaurants, Zouga Spa, Swimming Pool & Lower Deck, the lodge now offers a more refined experience – all while keeping its doors open and service standards high.
The reimagined Deluxe River-View Rooms, now open to guests, feature earthy tones, artisanal finishes and expansive balconies that bring the outside in. The rooms are among the most generously sized in the region, offering a true sense of space and calm.
Beyond the rooms, the newly refurbished conference center, and the addition of two new ones is now complete, catering to growing demand for intimate executive retreats and incentive travel. Enhanced connectivity, flexible spaces, and a river-adjacent location just minutes from Harry Mwaanga Nkumbula International Airport make the lodge a smart choice for business with a view.
But it’s not all work; the beloved Lady Livingstone Cruiser has had her own facelift with the addition of a delightful gelato bar. It’s a playful touch that perfectly complements the lodge’s signature sunset cocktails and laid-back luxury vibe.
“Every improvement is guided by one question,” says the team. “How do we honour this setting while enhancing the guest experience?”
As travel demand shifts toward meaningful, immersive stays, The David Livingstone is emerging as one of the most complete riverside destinations.
Whether guests arrive for a romantic escape, a small corporate event or a family holiday, they’ll find a space that’s ready – and worthy – of their story.
