Avani Victoria Falls Resort Reimagines Luxury Amid Nature’s Grandeur

One of Africa’s most celebrated gateways to the wild has received a contemporary makeover, overhauling its accommodations and guest programming to better reflect the evolving needs of the luxury traveler.

Nestled within Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park in Livingstone, Zambia, Avani Victoria Falls Resort has unveiled a refreshed experience that blends contemporary design with the raw beauty of one of the world’s most iconic natural wonders. With newly redesigned rooms, immersive dining, and direct access to the thundering Victoria Falls, the resort offers guests a seamless connection to the Zambezi River and its surrounding wilderness.

Modern Design Meets the Zambezi

The heart of the refresh lies in the redesign of 50 Superior Rooms and four Suites. Moving away from traditional lodge aesthetics, the new interiors favor clean lines and a palette inspired by the Zambezi riverfront.

• Materials: Natural textures and subtle Zambian craftsmanship.
• Flow: Refined layouts that prioritize seamless movement between indoor living areas and private outdoor terraces.
• Views: Every room is positioned to overlook the resort’s lush gardens, pools, or the tranquil central lagoon.

Where Wildlife Roams Free

Spread across 46 hectares of protected land, the resort remains one of the few places in the world where the boundary between hospitality and habitat is virtually non-existent. Guests can expect to share their morning coffee with zebras, giraffes, and impalas that roam freely through the manicured grounds.

Immersive Dining and Adventure

The refresh extends beyond the architecture, focusing on “destination-led” experiences that connect guests to the local culture and landscape:

• The Mukuni Boma: An open-air dining venue dedicated to regional flavors and traditional storytelling under the stars.
• Zambezi Private Dining: Intimate, curated meals set directly along the riverbank.
• The Adrenaline Factor: From the legendary Devil’s Pool and white-water rafting to scenic helicopter flights, the resort serves as a high-octane hub for exploring the Falls.
• AvaniKids: A revamped program that moves away from screens and toward outdoor discovery, wildlife education, and guided exploration.

“Avani Victoria Falls Resort brings together location, design, and access, set within one of Africa’s most recognized landscapes.”
