We were a group of 6 people , very happy! Clean , polite staff and very honest! Will definitely be back
Very comfortable room with extremely attentive, friendly staff. I felt well taken care off. Food choices and quality of food were excellent. Great location to be picked up for day trips and near airport.
The hotel is super unique, boutique and comfortable and the staff were the absolute best! So friendly, welcoming, helpful and accommodating. Will be recommending this hotel to anyone staying in the Livingstone area.
I had an amazing experience at this hotel. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment I arrived, always ready to help with anything I needed. The food was absolutely delicious, with plenty of variety and great quality.
The entire place was spotless — from the rooms to the common areas, everything was exceptionally tidy and well maintained. It’s clear that the team puts a lot of care into keeping the hotel comfortable and inviting.
Overall, I couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Highly recommended, and I look forward to returning!
The manager got us set up with Safaris and river cruises for the three days we stayed, as well as a flight back to Lusaka. Also helped us find a wonderful man, who got us to and from our activities and town. He too was absolutely amazing. The receptionist/assistant manager and the rest of the staff were warm, welcoming and so helpful.
This is a lovely lodge for the budget conscious. The staff were super helpful with reserving activities and transport. The restaurant provided a perfectly fine breakfast, but only instant coffee (yet Zambia grows excellent coffee). The pool was nice. Staff provided me milk for my room and a teapot. Bed was very comfortable.

A group of 7 friends stayed here for 3 nights. The Lodge is very traditional and our 4 rooms were all beautifully decorated, very clean and spacious. The breakfast was included and was delicious, being cooked to order, even having options such as Eggs Benedict. We also ate here on 2 evenings and the food was fabulous and very reasonable.
The staff can't do enough for you, always on hand to help, going that extra mile. Kennedy (manager) and his staff, Caroline, Destiny, Naomi were all fabulous. Our full day safari in Botswana was arranged by the Lodge and was very reasonable.
We would highly recommend this lodge and only wish we had stayed longer but will hope to stay again in the future. Thank you again, we miss you all!
Fabulous stay. Staff are friendly and helpful.
The chef Gilbert is the best. Reception staff Caroline and Ken helpful. Thanks to Destin, Naomi, and all kitchen and hosekeeping staff. All meals were delicious.
Close to airport and the Mosi--oa-tunya falls.
The livingston museum is a must see and gift shop has great prices. All in all, the people of livingston are warm and peaceful, which makes any vacation great.
Excellent lodge in a quiet area of Livingstone. The room was very clean and cosy with a terrace adjacent to the pool area. All of the staff members were extremely polite and professional, always ready with a smile and eager to help.
The dinner menu was extensive for a small lodge and there were several different options for breakfast. Although I preferred to walk to and from the city center, a taxi can also be arranged for those who prefer to drive. I was able to book an excellent safari and airport transfer easily. I would happily return here again.

Lovely lodge in quiet area
Pleasant lodge with about 10 rooms, located in a quiet area away from busy streets. Lobby and gardens have much interesting art. There is an on-site restaurant, serving mostly meat, but also a tasty vegan stir-fry with rice for $12USD. Some rooms look out over the pool. Outside bar area. It is located a 5 minute walk from the intercity bus station, but is too far to walk from the bridge at Victoria Falls - a taxi is about $10USD. Easy 15-minute walk to shopping area with ATM and bureau de change.
If you want a beautiful African experience with no bells and whistles, then Ngomo Lodge is a lovely place to visit. Nestled in lush, tropical gardens, the lodge has a typical African themed reception, which is like walking into a tasteful and cosy living room. Rooms at the lodge are very simple and may lack the small attention to detail that one may find in bigger hotels. That said, the bed was very comfortable, our room and the public areas were utterly spotless! Our room opened out into the pool area which is beautiful! Well tended, tropical gardens, surround the pool, it is lighted up at night which makes it look magical and it is quiet and restful during the day. The pool has many shaded areas where one can sit comfortably without being boiled by the strong African sun. The small restaurant overlooks the pool area and my husband and I ate there every day. Food is prepared fresh from scratch and everything that we ate was made with love and was delicious! The lodge has a small staff who gives one the sense that they are all a family who run the lodge with pride and love. I cannot emphasise the staffs' absolute humility, politeness and utter devotion to their guests. Zambians are the nicest people I have ever met. They have left a huge place in my heart and I can't wait to go back again.

Frustrating & inconsistent with friendly service
The staff here are really lovely and I think that’s a big part of why this property rates so well on various platforms. It’s also the reason this review is 3 stars and not lower.
Unfortunately, my experience wasn’t great. My wife and I stayed in 4 rooms over 4 nights (partly our fault for last minute booking, but unexpectedly being forced to change rooms at 7:15am one morning wasn’t part of the plan and we were less than impressed). Also, being told a standard room is the same as Deluxe except for the room size and then being stuck on a small bed wasn’t great.
The rooms vary a lot (and are not as good as the photos) - different mattresses, air con units, wifi signal, mosquito nets… some have quilts, others just with sheets. It’s a bit of a lucky dip.
Cigarette smoke from outside creeping into two of the rooms was unpleasant and there was lots of mosquitoes in one of them too.
For the money, I was disappointed and think it’s poor value. That said, the staff try their best and we always felt safe and didn’t feel any need to worry about valuables
