Experience Victoria Falls at Its Peak with Avani’s Newly Refreshed Resort

Updated rooms, immersive dining and direct access to one of the world’s most iconic natural wonders at Avani Victoria Falls Resort

Avani Victoria Falls Resort introduces a newly refreshed stay at Victoria Falls, positioning guests with direct access to one of the world’s most iconic natural wonders. Located within Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, the resort combines redesigned rooms, destination-led dining and year-round access to adventure, creating a base for experiencing Livingstone with greater ease and depth. The update brings a more contemporary feel to the property while strengthening its connection to the landscape, offering guests a clearer, more considered way to engage with the Falls and the wider destination.

Set across 46 hectares of protected landscape, the resort is defined by its immediate connection to nature. Wildlife moves freely through the grounds, from zebras and giraffes to impalas and monkeys, creating an experience that feels both unstructured and distinctly local.

Fifty Superior Rooms and four Suites have been redesigned with a contemporary approach that reflects the surrounding environment. Clean lines, natural textures and a palette drawn from the riverine landscape create spaces that balance comfort with a clear sense of place. Subtle references to Zambian craft add depth, while updated layouts prioritise ease, from quiet time indoors to relaxed moments on terraces and balconies overlooking gardens, pools and the resort’s lagoon.  

Experiences extend beyond the resort, with the Falls offering a different perspective throughout the year. Guests can explore a range of activities across the destination, from guided, seasonal dips in Devil’s to white-water rafting, gorge swings and scenic flights over the Zambezi, all designed to bring them closer to the landscape.

Dining continues this connection to place. Mukuni Boma offers an open-air setting centred on regional flavours and cultural storytelling, while private dining along the Zambezi creates a more intimate experience shaped by its surroundings. Families are equally considered, with AvaniKids programmes focused on outdoor exploration, guided discovery and structured activities. This creates space for independent experiences, whether exploring Livingstone or unwinding with treatments at the nearby Anantara Spa Victoria Falls.

Access is straightforward, with direct connections from Johannesburg into Harry Mwanga Nkumbula International Airport, followed by a short transfer, or via Victoria Falls Airport across the border.

Positioned for year-round discovery, Avani Victoria Falls Resort offers a considered balance of proximity, design and experience, anchored in one of Africa’s most defining landscapes.

Rooms start from USD1,100 per night, based on two adults sharing a Superior Pool View Room, inclusive of breakfast, taxes and fees. For more information and to book, please visit avanihotels.com/en/victoria-falls, email victoriafalls@avanihotels.com or call +260 76 885 0507.
