The Royal Sichango Village

People were friendly and always helpful

Long electricity blackouts, lousy wifi, basic facilities

The facility experienced the electricity challenges which are affecting the whole country

A good power backup

all good - little off route from centre - and lots of mosquitos - but good

I was very happy I chose this lodge in a Nature Reserve a short distance from the center of Livingstone. With a herd of monkeys who were always curious and playful around the bungalow, and elephants in the immediate area. I really found harmony and contact with nature, and it was nice to be here instead of the center of Livingstone. There are big good quality mosquito nets in the bungalows and repelleant is sprayed before bedtime, so don't worry about mosquito bites at night. It is important to know that on the Zambian side of the border you have 2 unique attractions that you cannot find on the more visited Zimbabwean side: 1) The "microlight fly" (a motorized hangglider) experience over the Victoria Falls is what can only be described as truly breathtaking. The lodge is only a few hundred meters from the Batoka airstrip where you fly out to the Victora Falls and over the Zambezi River. 2) The "Devil's pool" where you get your amazing Instagram photos from the top edge of Victoria Falls. You absolutely must experience these 2 on the Zambian side - remember that you must have a visa on the Zimbabwean side, and you must have a multiple entry visa if you are going in and out of Zimbabwe more than once. The Zambian side is also much cheaper, especially on food and drinks, and feels even safer than the Zimbabwean side. There are many good reasons to spend a few days on Zambia's side, unlike what many tourists do - and it feels liberating. I have traveled 130+ countries, so I appreciate what's genuine. Darius (the owner) is a book of his own. You will not find a more nice and helpful person. He helps you with absolutely everything, and please start planning before your arrival, as some of the attractions and available times are sold out days in advance. He can also put together larger travel packages including safaris in Zambia and neighboring countries, both for single people and large groups.

Quiet and easy stay.
