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.

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.

Well thought out boutique property, beautifully decorated. Room was clean and spacious. Pool area was edenic! Thanks to Rita for her exceptional hospitality. Only negative would be limited breakfast for vegetarians..and not much fruit offering.

Together with another couple We stayed at this property that is nothing short of being but excellent. The staff were all most helpful in every way - they even iron your clothes for you free of charge and arrange tours transport etc. Rita, Kenny, Destiny, Margaret and the owner with the brilliant white hair are among the best people you would come across.

10/10

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.

10/10

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.

The property is quiet an oasis in the middle of town, but they are burning trash 24/7 right outside of the property and the smell is penetrating everything. Made hanging out at the pool and bar unenjoyable:( Food was safe, but nothing special.
1-night trip

8/10

It's a sweet, well situated property and the staff were all very friendly and helpful. It's fairly basic in terms of room, etc. but the garden, pool and breakfast area were pleasing and the lobby was nicely decorated and welcoming. One minor thing: I hope they switch to a nice drip coffee for breakfast cause the instant brand they use is really meh! For those of us who need a good cup in the morning, these things are important :)

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.
