Zambezi Sun

Address:
Victoria Falls, Zambia

  

David Livingstone explored this land of potent beauty and discovered one of the seven natural wonders of the world. In his footprints, only moments away from the mighty Zambezi River with the dramatic torrent of the Victoria Falls as its natural milieu, a magnificent Resort has been created as a testament to his discovery and in reverence to the splendor of this World Heritage site.

Journey to this magical place and witness the greatest mass of falling water on earth as it plunges down a sheer rock face, spraying its mystical mist hundreds of meters in the air. The awesome Victoria Falls is much closer to you here - literally, on the doorstep of The Falls Resort - it feels as if you could reach out and touch it, as it plummets into the chasm far below.

The nearby 3-star hotel, The Zambezi Sun, features adobe-style architecture. Simple finishes highlight bright mosaics and fabrics and ethnic wall stencils, timber and plaster ceilings, Zambian artworks and accessories characterize the intoxicating environment. It is constructed in a series of eight buildings, consisting of the guest rooms, a central pavilion of restaurants and a fabulous convention centre.

The Zambezi Sun is a 212-room hotel appealing primarily to families and conference delegates. The guest rooms acknowledge their African roots in the deep rich red earth color of the rounded planes of its walls. In the early evening, the dark outline of the hotel is set against iridescent curls of smoky vapor that dance above its roofline.
